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.

Cia commenter at http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/ This article/transcript from National Radio interview? dated May 20 2008 - regarding muslims in Fort Hood - (TARABAY: There are anywhere between 6,000 and 15,000 Muslim soldiers in the U.S. military, depending on who you talk to. No one knows the numbers for sure, because some Muslims don’t want to advertise their religion. Shabazz says it’s tough trying to be a good Muslim and a good soldier.)

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and hearing.

His demeanor was happy (I couldn’t find a better word) then he started reading some statement about the soldiers.

More from this link at PJM:
Update: “AP sources: Authorities had concerns about suspect:”

Federal law enforcement officials say the suspected Fort Hood, Texas, shooter had come to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats.The officials say the postings appeared to have been made by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who was killed during the shooting incident that left least 11 others dead and 31 wounded. The officials say they are still trying to confirm that he was the author. They say an official investigation was not opened.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case.

One of the Web postings that authorities reviewed is a blog that equates suicide bombers with a soldier throwing himself on a grenade to save the lives of his comrades.

Meanwhile, Allahpundit at Hot Air links to another video of Shepard Smith on Fox News:

Update: The two suspects detained earlier were released, but according to Rep. John Carter, another one has just hauled in.

Update: Here’s another Shep interview that people are buzzing out, this one with Hasan’s cousin. The cousin says Hasan decided after 9/11 that he didn’t want to deploy overseas, that he heard horrific stories from returning soldiers, and that he was harassed by other soldiers.

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.

Yes different Hasan than what Starwise posted.

The picture of the guy on Atlas Shrugs doesn’t even appear to be middle eastern.

Reportedly, a poor review.

With his attitude, it’s not hard to believe he
would’ve been expressing the same opinions up
there .. and possibly engaging in verbal warfare
about the wars.
