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.

Prison converts would be my guess.

"Exactly, there is more gun control on a military base then in the civilian world."

CNN is talking about M-16s like they're laying around the base like drinking fountains. It's easier to get your hands on a fistful of diamonds, than it is to get your unauthorized hands on an M-16.

Not at this point.

A dear friend is a counselor at Fort Hood. I have not spoken with her but am awaiting contact from her husband.

That is true. Great observation.

Actually I hadn’t thought about that, but it’s only about 65 miles from there to Crawford.

[Rutles4Ever]

Idiot DUmmie thinks this will lead to new gun laws.

Like what? Banning weapons on military bases? It’s unbelievable that these idiots elected our government.

FBI on the way. Top priority is to make sure there is no further killing.

DoughtyOne.........I'm not sure these anti-American leftists will EVER reach adulthood. They are perpetual angry children who don't understand a thing about America, or who keeps us safe.

I have greater disdain for the CiC, anticipating what he’ll [not] do.

At least the enemy combatant was acting as an enemy combatant and not pretending to be something more benign.

I’ll throw out one of the loony left’s favorite terms: false flag.

That is one b$tch that can lie straight into the camera!

[fishergirl]

Oh, no! Prayers for our soldiers and their families!

[Cardhu]

Local congressman John Carter, speaking to NBC News, confirmed that there had been a shooting at the base, saying the gunfire had erupted during a graduation ceremony.

The BBC's Adam Brookes in Washington says there are military police and Swat teams on the scene, and the FBI is on the way. Schools in the area have also been locked down.

[Plutarch]

CNN says they have information that there were two gunman with M-16's.

[who knows what evil?]

It is an OUTRAGE that the media is so quick to place the blame on the media instead of terrorists. SOB’s...every one of them.
