FORT HOOD — At least 12 people were killed and more than 30 wounded in shootings at Fort Hood, officials said.
Lt. Gen. Robert Cone said one of the shooters who was killed on site was a soldier, and two suspects detained in the shootings were soldiers.
Department of Emergency Services officials at Fort Hood confirmed at about 1:30 p.m. more than one shooter fired shots into the Soldiers Readiness Processing Center and Howze Theater on Fort Hood.
Fort Hood officials could not confirm the number of wounded, a press release said.
Scott & White Memorial Hospital, where the casualties will be taken, is calling for donations of all blood types. The hospital’s blood mobiles have been moved to the front of the hospital to hasten donations.
At 2 p.m. it was reported that Soldier’s Dome was not safe as a staging area for emergency responders who were en route.
“I was here for a 2 p.m. graduation,”Retired Army Col. Greg Schannep said. “A I drove up, I heard some shots. A soldier came running past me and said ‘sir there is someone shooting.’
“As he ran past me I saw blood on his back. I don’t think he even knew he had been shot. He has since been treated and should be OK,” he said.
“I can tell you there are casualties,” Schannep said.
“I heard three or four volleys of shots with eight to 12 shots in each volley. Initially, I thought it was a training exercise,” he said.
John Fisher, Bell County commissioner for the precinct that includes Killeen, said the shooters were wearing military clothing, but was not sure if they were military. He heard reports that the shooting started in a barracks and spilled over into a PX.
One ambulance reported four patients on board while en route to Fort Hood.
Another dispatch from an ambulance indicated one of the injured was a 24-year-old male with injuries to his abdomen and left arm. A 28-year-old pregnant woman was also transported to the hospital, but the report indicated she was suffering a possible anxiety attack.
