Twelve people have been killed and 31 wounded in a shooting spree at a Texas military base by what officials believe was possibly carried out by an Army officer.
The suspected gunman was identified by ABC News as Major Malik Nadal Hasan.
The shooter was killed and two other suspects, who are also soldiers, have been apprehended, Lt. Gen. Robert W. Cone said.
The gunman used two handguns, Cone said. He wasn't sure if the shooter reloaded the weapons during the attack.
Ever heard of weapons training in the military?

SNIPPET: “KILLEEN, Texas - Officials at the Fort Hood Army Base in Killeen say 12 people are dead and about 30 are wounded in a mass shooting on the Fort property.
WATCH LIVE COVERAGE NOW
According to officials, a soldier carrying two handguns opened fire at about 1:30 p.m. Thursday at the Soldier Readiness Center at the post in Killeen, Texas.
“It would be an environment that would be very susceptible to casualties or injuries,” Killeen City Manager Connie Green said.
Officials said the gunman was shot and killed after quick response from security officers.
At least two other soldiers were taken into custody.
Army personnel said a civilian police officer was among the deceased. At least six of the wounded were military.
“Were praying that those who are injured are not seriously injured,” Green said.
The Fort Hood public affairs spokesman said the Army has set up a special operations center to handle the response.
The official base Web site posted a message that it is on lock down and in an emergency situation. It also urged people to stay indoors.
Nine schools on the base — seven elementary and two middle — are included in the lock down.

If it turns out to be Al Qaeda, how will this change 0bama’s Afghanistan policy?
No bets..
General Officer is spinning his Sunday best right now about the shooting suspect's description.
"A male has been arrested. blah, blah, blah."
He knows a hell of a lot more than that.
I agree. Well I sure as hell hope it isn't three so-called soldiers with a Timothy McVeigh complex, as the MSM is no doubt hoping they are. This is NOT a "tragedy" as the GO states. A tragedy is when a roof collapses on innocents; man I absolutely HATE it when that word is misused. Especially in a politically correct context.
Well, he heard they were securing the base.
So, Obie has decided to do the same.
he is giving shout outs. What a loser.
Let me be more precise - organized, affiliated terrorism, as opposed to a Muslim Sgt with a grenade screaming, “Allahu Akhbar”.
Columbine, while being planned, wasn’t organized, supplied, and coordinated by a terrorist organization that has access to materiel, money, and talent.
That’s my point here. Now we are hearing these sick bastards went in with nothing more than handguns.
Please.
I’ll grant you at the end of the day these guys are probably ROP. What they won’t be are sleepers or something heavy like Al Qaeda or MS-13.
ZERO UP NOW! Gees lets just thank a bunch of people at a confrence!
What the hell are they clapping for Obama for? OBAMA DOESN’T MENTION THE SOLDIERS FIRST!! WHAT A PIECE OF FILTH!!
One didn’t do this 3 people did this & that makes it something more than some G.I. stripping his gears .
on msnbc they are talking about a major with an “arabic sounding name”
Just tweeted by ABCs jake tapper
Attn Texas tweeps: Scott & White Memorial Hospital says due to the recent events in #FtHood, it is in URGENT need of ALL blood types.
wow he’s schmoozing about some dept of interior conference
Shot out ? On a day like today ?
WTH is wrong with him. It ain’t Soul Train !!
I agree with that.
Thought Zero was going to address shooting...but takes time to discuss health care first? Giving “Shout outs”...OMG I can’t stand him.
” Heeeeeeeres Baraq..... “
‘Shout-out???” WTH is the fool-in-chief talking about?????
He’s speaking, and SOMEONE IS CLAPPING..what was that all about?
