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.
Something along the lines of, “I want to give a shout out to...” somebody at the meeting. Low class all the way. Plus, as others have mentioned, he talked about several other things first before turning to the situation at Ft Hood.
As Mollie Sugden used to say, “Weak as water, weak as water!”
Had a friend who was involved with a convert to Islam back in the 90s...he was a psychologist, if I remember...odd, odd coincidence...(not the same guy by any means, just odd the psych background of both of them) Converted to Shia Islam, too...
Once a radical muslim, always a radical Muslim. The same goes for Barack Hussein Obama.
This Malik Nadal Hasan guy planned & viciously murdered our brave soldiers.
It doesn’t seem like just a coincidence that this happened on a day when we many patriots are out in D.C. trying to get the ear of Congress re: healthcare. I’d bet that this guy and his accomplices are Leftist radical muslims. They hate when good traditional American “infidels” are making progress, as they did the other day in Virginia (also I hear the home state of this murdering muslim) and in the spotlight against the Leftists in Congress.
Major Malik Nadal Hasan.
If he’s the correct perp. We’ll see.
More to the point, as a mental health professional, he would have people telling him details of things that had them upset, which has a grave security dimension to this whole mess.
He was a pyschiatrist according to someone on fox
Thank you VERY much, this is just so mind boggling. Did you hear that, although they released those 2 other detained soldiers, that they are still looking for someone else? (IF reports can be trusted.)
That post should have been deleted. Not correct.
No ..I’m not. We shall see.

Gunmen Kill 12, Wound 31 on Fort Hood
By Donna Miles
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5, 2009 – President Barack Obama condemned the fatal shooting rampage today on Fort Hood, Texas, that left 12 soldiers dead and another 31 wounded, and promised full-scale support to get to the bottom of what happened and help the Fort Hood community recover from the tragedy.
More than one gunmen – two being held as suspects and another believed to be among those killed — fired shots at about 1:30 p.m. Central Time at the post’s Soldier Readiness Processing Center and Howze Theater, Fort Hood officials confirmed.
The incident reportedly occurred as soldiers were conducting their final preparations for deployment.
“These are men and women who have made the selfless and courageous decision to risk, and at times, give their lives to protect the rest of us on a daily basis,” the president said.
“It’s difficult enough when we lose these brave Americans in battles overseas,” he said. “It is horrifying that they should come under fire at an Army base on American soil.”
Obama said he is in close coordination with Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen in monitoring the situation.
Meanwhile, the White House is working with the Pentagon, FBI and Department of Homeland Security to ensure Fort Hood is secure.
Obama said his thoughts and prayers are with the wounded and families of the fallen, and the Fort Hood community.
“We will continue to support the community with the full resources of the federal government,” he said. “We will make sure that we get answers to every single question about this horrible incident.”
Obama said he has no greater honor than serving as commander and chief, but also recognizes the responsibility that entails in ensuring servicemembers are properly cared for and that their safety is assured while they are at home.
“So we are going to stay on this,” he said. “But I hope in the meantime that all of you recognize the scope of this tragedy, and keep everybody in their thoughts and prayers.”
Speaking to reporters at Fort Hood, Army Lt. Gen. Robert W. Cone, commander of 3rd Corps and Fort Hood, credited quick response by police forces with bringing down a gunman after he opened fire at the soldier readiness unit.
“There were several eyewitness accounts that there was more than one shooter,” he said, noting that two additional soldiers had been taken into custody.
“The soldiers and family members are absolutely devastated,” he said. “It’s a terrible tragedy,” he said, but offered assurances, “We will work through it.”
The guy on the medical db with his particulars was white...
Sleeper terrorist.
You are correct ... most MDs come in as an O-3 (Army, Air Force, or Marine Corps Captain; Lieutenant senior grade in the Navy). I believe some MDs with unique skills come in at a higher pay grade.
Latest update on the shooter. Malik Hassan was an army psychiatrist, recently redeployed from Walter Reed Hospital. OMG. He would’ve had intimate access to soldiers suffering from mental health issues, some who could’ve been very vulnerable to someone like Hassan preying on or attempting to recruit them.
Sleeper nut. I would say IF he was Muslim he was not a recent convert, but was raised that way from birth.
Thanks for the photo of this terrorist. I sure wouldn’t have trusted him as my doctor. Has a demented look in his face.
