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.
Excellent news, thank you for updating us. Tell your sister “Hello” from all us freepers, and thank her for her service!

OPINION:
I understand what you are saying and I agree — that aspect should be investigated.
Wow, Shep just told us it’s time to move along. There is no bigger picture.
From your post:
Anas M. Hasan , Nidal M. Hasan
You got a point there, no pun intended!
Shep must have realized he was being taken and started asking questions to see if the cousin would repeat the same thing. Don’t think he was real.
Palestinian Muslim. Interesting.

More Details Emerge About Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan
More information has emerged about Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the alleged gunman in the tragic Fort Hood, TX massacre that occurred this afternoon at approximately 1:30 PM CST. Hasan entered the Fort Hood oldier Readiness Facility, where soldiers who are preparing to deploy go for last minute checkups and preparation, began shooting with two handguns, and ended up killing 11 others before he himself was killed by MPs. Thirty-one were wounded.
The details that have emerged about Major Nidal Malik Hasan include the fact that he is apparently a psychiatrist, according to information on the Virginia Board of Medicine website.
Major Nidal Malik Hasan is a graduate of Virginia Tech University, where he was a member of the ROTC and earned a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry in 1997. He received his medical degree from the military’s Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md., in 2001. He worked at Darnall Army Medical Center, which is in Fort Hood. At one time he served at Walter Reed Army Hospital
Major Nidal Malik Hasan is also, according to Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-TX), originally from Jordan. He was also, according to Hutchinson, going to be deployed to Iraq, and was quite unhappy about it. He was on active duty.
Hi amom. I will forward your thanks - and I give my thanks to you and yours.
We are no longer tuned into news here, so I'll have to relie on the kindness of freepers, too, for whatever transpires during the upcoming news conference in Fort Hood.
Besides messing, he would have a good idea of which soldiers might be ripe for recruitment, or vulnerable to blackmail or extortion. The people responsible for security have some explaining to do.
Don’t miss posting 1850 — according to her obituary, his mother was born in Palestine, 1952.
Originally from Jordan? The ticker at the bottom of Fox News indicated he was Virginia born. What is the truth?
PER CNN- PIO at Ft Hood saying there WERE 2 shooters- this will be reported more fully at the new conference upcoming in 5 minutes.
I can’t stand listening to O’Reilly- he’s going to do his regular show...in spite of all this going on..
Glad everybody is OK Rightly Biased.
This is so horrible, Ft Hood was “Attacked” today. Not a “Tragedy”
All this tragedy and msnbc OLBY is talking about a “pro apartheid rally”. This guy is sicko.
