Twelve people have been killed and 31 wounded in a shooting spree at a Texas military base by what officials believe was possibly carried out by an Army officer.
The suspected gunman was identified by ABC News as Major Malik Nadal Hasan.
The shooter was killed and two other suspects, who are also soldiers, have been apprehended, Lt. Gen. Robert W. Cone said.
The gunman used two handguns, Cone said. He wasn't sure if the shooter reloaded the weapons during the attack.

Awaiting news conference at Ft Hood, expected to begin soon.
someone ping me when there is a youtube of that interview on Fox with the Col. that knew the Jihadist
thanks
From local Waco/Temple/Killeen TV.....blood drives have been flooded with donations. Two hour wait...asking people to come back tomorrow. Gov. Perry...flags @ half staff until Monday. Hotline for families....254-288-7570. 1-866-836-2751.
Oh, I don’t blame you one bit. Prayers for
his safe return soon. God be with you all.
Family member, family lawyer or the FBI just came to the door and told him to hang up. He had definitely said too much. Gotta give Fox News credit for getting this interview and the one with Hasan's colleague.
I am like you! If that was my cousin I would not even be answering a phone. But hey wait let me make a call to the FNC and tell my story! Then when aske about family background ... Hey I got to go! Click!
Because docs can’t afford the insurance while doing their residency and not making much money. Many docs get their start in the military. Why did he not leave after he finished all his schooling and his time? He was a major; thus I’d say it’s a safe bet that he had been in the Military past his commission.
One turned out to be Islamic, and he was apparently the killer.
I don’t know.
My son called me and said it’s extremely unlikely (though possible) that a lone man even WITH two handguns could go into a roomful of soldiers and wreak this kind of carnage. For one thing- many of these guys are combat vets. They react very differently to gunfire than you or I would. Not apt to just duck and run- more apt to go after the shooter- even unarmed.
Think about this. One man. Two handguns. Over 40 soldiers killed or wounded...it’s also unlikely that only one bullet was shot at each person.
It’s bizarre. Hard to fathom this all was done by one man.
I simply think there is still more we will learn as the night and days go on...
As you all know, breaking news changes from moment to moment; so keep that in mind please. Thanks.

“Nadal Malik Hasan, Suspected Fort Hood Shooter, Was Army Psychiatrist
Details Emerge: Alleged Gunman Trained in Disaster & Preventive Psychiatry”
By NED POTTER
Nov. 5, 2009
A military source was quoted by the Air Force Times as saying Hasan had recently been reassigned to Fort Hood from Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington. In 2009, sources tell ABC News, he completed a fellowship in Disaster and Preventative Psychiatry at the Center for Traumatic Stress there.
SNIPPET: “Hasan appears in medical records from the Virginia Board of Medicine as specializing in disaster and preventive psychiatry, and had a Maryland telephone number in an online file last updated in October.
Hasan had no prior overseas deployments, a Pentagon official told ABC News.
His first name is spelled differently in different public records. Virginia spells it Nidal, but several Army officials told ABC News the name they had was Nadal.”
Just being a good muslim, and obeying the koran...
When will we wake up to this threat against civilization???
Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."
Do we know why he was demoted and transferred from Walter Reed??
I didn’t start college until I was 25...sometimes, people do other things, or nothing at all for years between. It would be interesting to see how he spent his years...
That is very good amidst this horrible attack.
I hope this vile incident ends soon for your sister; thank God she is safe & sound, and able to be in contact with you. Please let us know when she's allowed to leave Fort Hood.
thanks; I am still on FOX TV, but on delay of about 1/2 hour. This better be a wake-up call for the military brass.
Our troops suffering from a non-CIC & ROE’s that leave them as sitting ducks and aware that if they get pinned down, they might not be rescued. Has this ever happened in the US military?
NOW, they have to look at one another at home and wonder if their fellow soldier is a traitor who might open fire on them.
Now there is a real German / Amish name.

11 dead, 31 injured. Two handguns, 9mm. Not exactly a gun known for stopping power.
If he’s the only shooter, then you are talking 15 round clips, probably. He emptied, holstered one, ejected, reloaded, and kept firing with one? It means he had the handguns and extra clips with him, if he was the only shooter.
42 hits minimum with two handguns unless he had the very rare 30 round 9mm clip. I would imagine even buying one of those clips, even in Texas or Virginia, would raise some sort of flag.
You can bet the obamedia was hoping he would be a Christian w/a Dixie sticker on his truck.
Pray for America and Ft Hood
