Whoa - Fox just broke in stating 7 dead, 12 wounded in "mass shooting" at Ft Hood.

Not clear who did it, or who's dead/wounded (service members or civ base workers), but whatever the circumstances, this is not good.

Shep Smith said someone is in custody, there is a second suspect - in fatigues - don't know if active duty or not.

Prayers go out...

update (I'm working out of the house today, so TV is on) - two, maybe three shooters, base on complete lockdown. sounding like a coordinated effort, which makes a single person snapping PTSD more unlikely. witnesses reporting hearing both pistol and rifle fire - uncertain if that was all attack, or Army reacting in defense

local schools also on lockdown. no news media being allowed on base.

sounds like the search is on for the other shooter.

Fox says they plan to fly their helocopter over the base, as "air space is still unrestricted"

Crap! My thoughts are with the families that have people stationed there.




"Be not that far from me, for trouble is near; haste Thee to help me. Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight. My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me"

Graduation for what??

I was stationed there from 92-94. Back then, it was easy to get on post. Can't imagine it is easy now. Getting on to Aberdeen was a PITA when I was there for school a couple of years ago.

This really sucks.

My thoughts exactly. Two or three people sounds like a terrorist attack.

Fox in DFW reporting 7/30 now, and only 2 shooters. One down, the other "cornered". No third shooter.

Terrorists?

One person, could be some whackjob.

Three people? This sounds like a coordinated effort.

I'm guessing it was an AIT graduation? AIT= A-School, Tech School; MOS/job training school for those not up on Army lingo

I hope it's terrorists and not a couple Joe's leaving the reservation. If it is civilian shooters, brady bill redux here we come...

9 dead, 27 injured is most recent. FBI has already declared "not terrorist related" - how, who knows - unless that is the politically correct answer to any question
