(CNN) -- An owner of a 7-Eleven convenience store in Fort Hood, Texas, said Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan came in for coffee and hashbrowns most mornings, including the morning he allegedly shot dozens of soldiers.
Surveillance video from the store obtained by CNN shows a man who, according to the store owner, is Hasan at the cashier's counter at about 6:20 a.m. Thursday (7:20 a.m. ET) -- about seven hours before the mass shooting -- carrying a beverage and dressed in traditional Arab garb.
"He looked normal, came in had his hashbrowns and coffee as you see in the surveillance video," the owner told CNN.
Another surveillance video from the store on Tuesday showed the man believed to be Hasan in scrubs.
While the owner said he was too busy to chat with Hasan whom he knows as "Major Nidal" on Thursday, he said that through his brief talks with Hasan he learned the officer's background was Jordanian, though he didn't speak Arabic well. He added that Hasan didn't wear a wedding ring and joked several times on whether the owner knew a bride for him.
Hasan would also ask the owner whether he planned to attend Friday prayers, a mainstay of Islam, to which the owner would say that he was too busy.

Wearing arab garb on an army base? I could hardly believe my eyes...
How much does anyone want to bet he was taking some kind of prescription drugs for “mental health” reasons? Not only could he get access but he could prescribe drugs to other soldiers...I think he could have been secretly taking something or was openly taking something, usually that ends up how these cases go! But that video image just seems bizarre!
“Wearing arab garb on an army base? I could hardly believe my eyes...”
Why not? His Commander-in-Chief is named Hussein.
Psychiatrist, muslim, ‘palestinian’ with access to a drug smorgasboard and too much allah at the local mosque - it’s so sad and such a great pity he didn’t just OFF himself.
Hope he dies.
The FBI should investigate every Mosque this filthy Jihadi pig ever set foot in.
It’s time to throw PC out the window.
Let’s quit purchasing anything from muslims. put them out of business.
sad to say...
Wow. The store owner certainly got a good deal of information from this guy even though he was “too busy to chat”...I wouldn’t trust him either.
Can you imagine how many soldiers who went to counseling with Hasan must have really gotten screwed over?
This guy held the key to their future and careers. Wonder how many soldiers he got rid of this way.
So many details will be left out because the soldiers will be gagged by the adminstration.
> How much does anyone want to bet he was taking some kind of prescription drugs for “mental health” reasons?
I might take that bet. If he had mental health issues AND he was taking prescription drugs to address them, chances are good this tragedy might not have happened.
Most people with mental illness are not dangerous. Most dangerous people do not have mental health issues.
The big smile on his face at the end is creepy. I’m sure he was looking forward to jihad on America.
How many of them can’t own a gun thanks to this goofball? If I recall PTSD was retroactively applied to anyone that wants to purchase a gun, but here we have one of the people that probably ruined many soldiers chances at ever owning a firearm again, and he goes running around shooting people up! He might have been on some kind of psych drugs! I guess maybe we’ll find out soon enough.
According to interviews, a good one on Fox with a retired collegue, this guy was a true jihadist. Openly spoke about American aggressors, agitated with the war, statements to the effect that America shouldn’t be in muslim lands.
Transfer from Walter Reed to Ft. Hood is the question of the day.
This guy was a problem and many knew about it.
Again, how many soldiers got screwed over by this guy?

That is the fact that haunts me. His victims were not just the ones shot yesterday. He was paid to deal with soldiers who had mental issues. What has he done to them?
“What has he done to them?”
I can’t even imagine. A thorough review of all of those records must now be required.
I’m sure there are many, many victims in this guy’s wake.
I hope they do investigate this guy’s clients make sure they are okay and weren’t harmed by him. Well, if he had clients at the time of the shooting— I can’t imagine what they are going through right now.
We are fighting terrorism. The terrorists are ALL muslim. NO muslim should be allowed in any branch of our military.
