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.

I’m wondering now if the inital shootings were the first wave of a multi-stage attack. Prayers up for all the soldiers and their families in harms way!

For the FBI to so quickly discount ANY connection to terrorism seems very strange to me.


That's what I thought - on both account. I'm cringing that there may be more attacks on other bases.

Glen Beck? Wow...

PTSD? That’s always on this tip of the leftist’s tongue...

Fundamentalist Christians mad at Obama? How would this affect Obama negatively? Good grief, after reviewing who he hangs with, there’s some question whether this would sadden him or not. Sorry, but you don’t hang out with people who viscerally despise our military, and come away with a respect for them. I know he tries to dispel this, but it’s a lost cause with me.

He took his sweet time schmoozing the crowd didn’t he? Obama is evil and clueless. He’s mentioned the shooting like an inconvenient afterthought.


I am surprised he didn’t start talking about how we are getting closer to Universal Healthcare and give a shot out to the Yankees for winning the World Series yesterday. At least Bush when 9/11 happened, he was surrounded by children, what was Obama’s excuse, he was surrounded by adults

Exactly. It was a deliberate display of contempt, just like his earlier insulting treatment of the British PM.

MALIK HASSAN SP? is the primary shooter.

ABC is reporting that he's a Muslim convert who had some business or connection to the base hospital. FWI

Ruh-roh!

For the desk-bound...they’re now saying 12 casualties and 30+ wounded.

the original shooter was killed very early in the attack. He is a soldier. Two other soldiers are in custody being questioned.

The General who gave the press conference appeared to know much more about what was going on than he revealed.

The base is still on lockdown.

My husband and I turned him off immediately. Figure nothing imformative will be coming from him. Will monitor the board and turn it back on in a minute after he is off.

Listening to Obama speak right now...he sounds as unemotional as always!

Did TOTUS tell him to display emotion?

Sgt. Akbar in the second Iraq war. It was among our first casualties.

The trial went on for years.

“Obama is gonna come out and pretend he gives a damn.”

He didn’t even do that! OMG!

But he did remind us that he was “Commander in Chief!”

I cannot believe it!

They are MUSLIMS first and foremost, they do not consider themselves “our soldiers”. One word: “Sleepers”

He wasn’t even informed until a full hour or so after the incident. He was busy attending a native American event. What if it was a multi-location coordinated attack?

Oh, now it's the war stress being put on our soldiers (in the states?) that may have caused the perp to go berserko.

Bush's immoral war, of course.
