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 know. I have been saying jagoff for years. Never knew it was from Pittsburgh.
I just found out on another thread something I didn’t know,,there are soldiers in the army with ties to gangs and M13 is a problem at Ft Hood. I never knew that.
From what I’ve heard, gang members are encouraged NOT to tattoo themselves and to join the military, to use their knowledge and training when they get out in their wars with other gangs..

FORT HOOD — At least 12 people were killed and more than 30 wounded in shootings at Fort Hood, officials said.
Lt. Gen. Robert Cone said one of the shooters who was killed on site was a soldier, and two suspects detained in the shootings were soldiers.
Department of Emergency Services officials at Fort Hood confirmed at about 1:30 p.m. more than one shooter fired shots into the Soldiers Readiness Processing Center and Howze Theater on Fort Hood.
Fort Hood officials could not confirm the number of wounded, a press release said.
Scott & White Memorial Hospital, where the casualties will be taken, is calling for donations of all blood types. The hospital’s blood mobiles have been moved to the front of the hospital to hasten donations.
At 2 p.m. it was reported that Soldier’s Dome was not safe as a staging area for emergency responders who were en route.
“I was here for a 2 p.m. graduation,”Retired Army Col. Greg Schannep said. “A I drove up, I heard some shots. A soldier came running past me and said ‘sir there is someone shooting.’
“As he ran past me I saw blood on his back. I don’t think he even knew he had been shot. He has since been treated and should be OK,” he said.
“I can tell you there are casualties,” Schannep said.
“I heard three or four volleys of shots with eight to 12 shots in each volley. Initially, I thought it was a training exercise,” he said.
John Fisher, Bell County commissioner for the precinct that includes Killeen, said the shooters were wearing military clothing, but was not sure if they were military. He heard reports that the shooting started in a barracks and spilled over into a PX.
One ambulance reported four patients on board while en route to Fort Hood.
Another dispatch from an ambulance indicated one of the injured was a 24-year-old male with injuries to his abdomen and left arm. A 28-year-old pregnant woman was also transported to the hospital, but the report indicated she was suffering a possible anxiety attack.
THAT DISPLAY BY OBAMA JUST PROVED THAT HE IS A NARCISSISTIC SOCIOPATH FOLKS!!

Shades of soon-to-be dead John Allan Mohammed, DC Sniper.
MSNBC reporting that the captured shooter is an Army Major with an “Arabic-sounding name”. But ,but the FBI says this in no way is terrorism, and that it is not Islam/Muslims. Don’t government agencies always tell the truth? /insert sarcasm tag please.
Muslims did it.
Or Democrats did it to distract the public’s attention from the Democrat/Marxist government healthcare vote in Congress this weekend and the fact that conservatives marched on Congress to stop socialism/government healthcare.
Or Muslims did it for the same reason as they want socialism too.
BINGO! Islamofacism!
Note to Pelosi: replace the batteries.
Hard to know what to make of this yet.
That’s why I’m reminding everyone about the soldier (muslim) who killed other fellow soldiers in Iraq.
Apparently it was one soldier who did the shooting- but it sounds like a target-rich environment and possibily the other two were part of it- somehow.
That was the very first thing I thought of when the news came out that the shooter was a soldier. A brotha who turned to the ROP.
And AMEN to your tagline.
That was the coldest announcement I have ever heard after his shout out. THe man has no feelings at all.
Wonder if Nancy will insist on a vote,,the congressman from Texas wants to go home but says he cannot with the vote tomorrow.
This is horrible, truly horrible.
oh dear..
oh dear, oh dear....
Muslim. Who’d a thunk it?
/s
ABC is reporting that he's a Muslim convert who had some business or connection to the base hospital. FWI
Rules out the nuns and the Amish.
just awful.
no, really..
There you have it. I don't need confirmation from the FBI as to what this was. Common sense dictates.

You got it. I think they know what is coming.
But why guess, we will all know in a few hours.
