KILLEEN, Texas -
SNIPPET: “One shooter was in custody, one was surrounded and another was on the loose.”
Actually I was able to return to *West* Ft. Hood, after you made that post. Not much after, but a few minutes at least. But not that long afterwards, they locked that part down as well.
I wouldn't have gone back, and didn't expect to be able to, but I'd left my only phone (No land line) on my desk. I knew they'd be trying to call me, and that I'd need to call my wife and daughters.. and my 83 y/o mother too. Which I eventually did.
