The first thought of a DOD friend of mine in Texas, whose father is a retired colonel, was that this was a robbery or drug deal gone bad. He grew up in the Fort Hood area after his father's retirement, so I presume his initial opinion was based on local knowledge.

I told him that 2+ shooters and 20+ casualties were reported, whereupon he changed his opinion to terrorism by local jihadis, and said that the federale Cone of Silence would come down immediately if they suspect terrorism.
