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.

The commissary and PX are much more target-rich environments - I believe there were specific people they wanted to target at the theater and processing center.

Besides, unless they’ve changed military bases since I left 10 years ago, they don’t show movies until the evening. The theaters were used for training, briefings, or ceremonies.

Fox now reporting nine dead and 27 injured.

Obama will say, "But we saved 47,356 lives."

I know we occasionally drew arms (M16’s, M1911) when performing security details, like payroll guard. When I was in the Army in Germany, I had a loaded M1911 in my center desk drawer, who it was checked out to I never learned. I worked in a room with safes containing Pershing Missile fire tapes and firing codes and I guess I was expected to shoot anyone trying to mess with them. I never received any explicit training or instructions on the use of the weapon or deadly force or anything like that. I suppose they expected me to rely on common sense.

In a fire drill, I reported to the arms room and drew an M-16, the firing batteries sent details to evacuate the safes. We went into the building - armed - during a fire drill.

I agree, having a loaded weapon in CONUS is very unusual.

They wont announce it as terrorism even if it is .. that would push Obama into a corner and force him to commit more troops to Afghanistan. If its white shooters get ready for the crazy extreme right wing domestic terrorism angle.

They are probably afraid that some nimrod assuming muslim terrorism would blow up a mosque in “retaliation”.

Perhaps. But it's the thought of all the resulting secondary explosions that really scares them...

According to the Obama administration:

“terrorism” = “man caused disaster”

FBI with the usual “NO terrorism suspected in shooting.” Awfully quick response, but then they know more than we do.

This is the Obama/Eric Holder response.

It's been the mid-1970s since I have been on a military base. While in college, I had a summer job working for the company that had the concession running the bowling alley, enlisted mens club and non-com’s club.

I was working at the enlisted mens club one afternoon and the big boss walked in and told me to hit the big red button under the counter for a drill. This was the emergency button. In about 30 seconds, the first Air Police started piling in with M-16s - They did not know it was a drill until they arrived.

I'm quite sure that most every facility on a base has an emergency button that gets real fast response although like I said, this was quite a few years ago for me. I'd be flat pissed off if this kind of alert network and security training were to have diminished from what it was then.

And while "nothing changed" we did have a President step forward to denounce American policies that spur jihadists into action (admitting US guilt and feeding the propaganda) and arrogance that "I'm somehow better and the world now loves us".

Weakness encourages bullies. And terrorists.
