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.

FBI is reporting that there is no connection to terrorism.

That's got a lot to do with your definition of terrorism, I suppose. For me, shooting more than 30 people and killing at least nine is, ipso facto, an act of terrorism.

These are the kinds of reports and statements you usually get as events are unfolding. Who really knows who said what and anything. 911 was the same.

Not really clear if there are 2 shooters or 3 ..

Just heard Cavuto interviewing a reporter, and the reporter said they had one (1) in custody, another surrounded by a SWAT Team and rumor that there might be one more shooter.

Reporter said it was a 41 year old male and that was it. No further description. ROP?

Obama has to change out of his golf attire before he can make a statement.

“Do you trust the FBI to report accurately about terrorism links? My faith is weak.”

I understand law enforcement does NOT make public everything they know, to avoid helping the bad guys, etc.

It’s more like there is no obvious connection that can be made at this time, but that doesn’t eliminate the possibility... according to Fox Homeland Security gal

I do not question that the FBI can do the investigation, but they are not needed in stopping the damage. The personnel at HOOD are well trained to do that.

But you are correct in following the trail and connecting the dots.

But the FBI is not “in charge”.

Neil Cavuto just said that “sources” are saying it does not look terrorist related, lol.

Now he clarifies that the FBI said that there is probably "no terrorist nexus" involved.

lol indeed.

Obama Damage Control... Can't have it called terrorism.

>>If it’s terrorism, it’s the FBI’s job to deal with it.<<

But. . . .didn’t the FBI just report it wasn’t terrorism?

It is reported this tragic event is NOT terrorism, so begone, FBI.

Terrorism is an act of war, unless you are a democRAT/liberal, then terrorism is a criminal act.
