FORT HOOD, Texas - A soldier opened fire Wednesday at Fort Hood, killing three people and wounding several others before taking his own life, law enforcement sources told CBS News.
The incident occurred Wednesday afternoon at Fort Hood, the site of a notorious 2009 mass shooting.
Law enforcement sources said four people were killed, including the gunman, who died of a self-inflicted wound. Officials said several people were wounded, although the exact number was not immediately clear. At one point there were reports that as many as 14 people had been wounded.
Sources told CBS News the shooter had been identified as 34-year-old soldier Ivan Lopez. A source said the violence apparently stemmed from some sort of soldier dispute.
In Chicago, President Barack Obama said he was following the situation closely. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel was also informed, Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby said.
"We're heartbroken that something like this might have happened again," Obama said, referring to the 2009 massacre. "I want to just assure all of us we are going to get to the bottom of what happened."
Warning sirens went off on Wednesday afternoon and all personnel were urged to shelter in place as the base went on lockdown.
"There has been a shooting at Fort Hood and injuries are reported. Emergency crews are on the scene. No further details are known at this time," the post said in a brief statement.
A man who said he was a witness told CBS affiliate KWTX that about 20 shots were fired at a post motor pool. The man said he saw a soldier jumping over a fence and running away, but it was not clear whether that solider may have been the shooter.
First responders from surrounding communities headed to the post, home of the Army's 1st Cavalry Division.
A partial list of other things that this President has gotten "to the bottom of":
Post some armed guards FGS!
That was his line when the IRS scandal broke.
How's that investigation going?
If its not a Muslim, if they can’t find a motive, I BET they fabricate it to blame the Tea Party. Right in time for the midterms.
they IDed the Shooter’s CAR,,which means they saw the SOB coming....
WHAT SORT of Military Installation leaves the front door open and invites armed attacks on Unarmed personnel?
RIP.
I was just going to post the same question. Not going to speculate, but this is just sickening. Still a ‘gun free zone’ - WHY????
Ivan Lopez doesnt have the right sort of name to be labeled a Tea Party villain.
Thank God for that.
Good deal, hadn’t heard that!
Hey, they can make up some BS, like he’s working for the Tea Party in alliance with Putin and the Chilean eight wing. They will make up ANYTHING.
Well ... I hope that poster knew what he was talking about ... :-) ...

we can pretty much assume what Chris Matthews will be spewing tomorrow.
Mac daddy set aside two minutes from his busy schedule of fund raising, party planning and giving lying speeches to say he was following this closely.
That’s as believable as rocks growing leg and winning a 100 yard race.
Uh—the answer to your question is the Commander in Chief-—
The buck stops with him.
Too bad he’s dumber than dirt.
I know, it’s like he’s talking about the family dog or something. “Oh the dog pooped on the rug. Oh we thought something like this might happen again.”
they can and do! and the low info types will lap it up like cotton candy.
Those responsible for the poor performance of the positive corrective action implemented after Hassan need to be cashiered (including Bammy).
