According to Twitter, per NBC, Feds originally thought these were military, but are not sure about that now.
My close friend is frantically trying to get info. One of her family members is a Texas Ranger, and was on base for the ceremony...most likely where this took place. I wonder wth the Rangers were there for?????? Did they know something ahead of time ?
We’re lucky we haven’t heard about detonations. Grenades.
Two man teams entering a base full of military members could make great use of grenades.
I would imagine if this was the work of an organized terrorist operation, they would have had them.
In fact, with grenades, you may have been able to get in and get out of the base. You’d likely be tracked down, but you could get in, do quite a bit of damage, and get out again.
Not sure this is terrorism. Maybe not even a drug cartel. My money is that its a couple of nuts.
Even the Columbine kids were thinking along the lines of explosives. Why wouldn’t an organized terrorist group?
Hey, say what?

Reporting 7 dead, 20 wounded. 3 shooters, 1 captured.
Your son had a weapon and could defend the best he could in a war zone. On a U.S. base they are all defensless!
The Congressman that represents Fort Hood says to get on the base is difficult.
Bob Scales is saying there is no security and do not check for weapons.
Who is lying?

The base was open for a Graduation Ceremony.
Someone did some intel gathering.
He just offered a Case of Busch Beer to the perps to turn themselves in! /S
We know that these terrorists have been wnting to do this. It may end up being something else, but given the nature of what happened, until shown otherwise, I am presuming jihad. As I said, hopefully other bases are all on heightened alert and security.
Hi, Thud -- that's fascinating, thanks for sharing.
ON THE INTERNET:
Suspect In A Black Chrysler?

Oh, thank you! Shep was more upset and sad when Michael Jackson died!
Shep CANNOT be trusted.
Whoa. Are they worried about biological/chemical agents or is there another reason to do this that I'm too dense to figure out?
CNN is playing a rather boring video loop over and over, but the audio portion seems to be a genuine effort to gather facts rather than wildly speculate.
The outrage is the instant assumption by the old media talking heads that US soldiers are damaged goods who are just waiting to snap and open fire on somebody. This has been part of the leftist anti-military template for decades. It was, and is a vicious lie.
LOL
Hey, I doubt you’re far off, but he looks downright malformed to me. Heh heh heh...
Maybe Gibb will insist that Obama is NOT watching this on TV so it will just go away.
