I heard him say that, and was surprised to hear him say that. So, this was clearly not a “lone nut” event.

Rick Perry has the demeanor and tone that our stupid sociopathic narcissist president should have had but did not. Finally a grown up and a leader speaks....Gov. Perry!

I heard something about this on the way home. This is so sad especially just before Thanksgiving and Christmas. Prayers going up for families involved.

[fish hawk]

I’ve been waiting for some sort of pictures of the three shooters. Something tells me they are not going to be your typical white guys.

And he didn’t have a laugh fast before he spoke either.

[Salvation]

Prayers for these soldiers and their families and also for the civilian officer and his family too.

[paulycy]

Tribute to the Fallen.

Shep just said that they have a lot of information, but they are not releasing anything that has not been confirmed by the Pentagon.

I support that, and given the highly inflammatory nature of what has leaked so far, i don’t blame Fox one bit for making sure they are right.

[Rick_Michael]

This took a lot of thought and I wouldn’t doubt that these guys had someone behind them. I hope this is thoroughly investigated.

[prairiebreeze]

Coordinated attack, it appears.

[Red Steel]

Hey Sheppard Smith, your theory that the Malik Hasan was stressed about going to the Middle East is hogwash with a coordinated and planned attack of 3 shooters.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Jordanian, he could well be Palestinian

From PJM:

Update: According to the Anchoress, “CBS says Ft. Hood shooter Maj. Hasan was licensed psychiatrist from Maryland.”

[OldDeckHand]

CNN is reporting that the dead suspect was a “mental health professional”, whatever that may be.

[Tigen]

Why did boy zero go salute the dead a week ago?

[ecomcon]

Any names on the other two yet?

[StarFan]

I hope someone gives him enough paper towels to wipe the egg off his face. FNC said the two men being held were released as having no connection with the case and it seems he was the lone gunman.

More Information on Fort Hood Shooting Suspect

Military officials say the suspected shooter at Fort Hood was a psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for six years before being transferred to the Texas base in July.

The officials had access to Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan's military record. They said he received a poor performance evaluation while at Walter Reed.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because military records are confidential.

Federal law enforcement officials say the Hasan came to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats.

The Virginia-born soldier was single with no children. He was 39 years old.

He is a graduate of Virginia Tech University, where he was a member of the ROTC and earned a bachelor's degree in biochemistry in 1997. He received his medical degree from the military's Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md., in 2001. At Walter Reed, he did his internship, residency and a fellowship.
