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.

Idiot reporters.

FBI not needed at HOOD.

I assure you that the soldiers who live there are “capable” of dealing with this.

Whoever the perps are.

If they are Middle Eastern or sympathetic, they know how to handle it.

Cavuto just said he'll be speaking at 5.... after he wraps up his native American speech.

Of course this means that he'll have to delay his decision on Afghanistan to deal with this.

Too early to tell. If I was organizing the attack on a day where they were graduating soldiers, and there were lots of families on base, why wouldn’t you come loaded down with explosives?

Grenades, satchel charges, etc?

My money is that its nutters. Like I said before, even the Columbine kids thought in terms of pipe bombs.

MS-13, Al Qaeda, etc. would have been better prepared than guys with rifles.

Yes, that is his salute BEFORE all the practice for the Dover photo op.

A bunch of guys over at BlackSix posted this photo to show how he USUALLY was saluting, before all that.

They were pretty mad.

Last I checked it is un-American to kill people based on their religion alone — First Amendment, murder laws, and all that.

Do you disagree with that?

The question isn't whether members of the military commit murders, it's whether they do so at a significantly higher rate than civilians. And in fact, they don't.

That's not true for Colorado Springs, at any rate. The 10 guys from the same unit who've been arrested are responsible for disproportionately large percentage of the total killings in Colorado Springs. Not that our murder rates are very high to beginw with ... but even the Army has acknowledged that they've got a problem.
