It was unknown whether the victims were all soldiers or civilians at Fort Hood, one of the largest military complexes in the world.

One gunman was reportedly in custody and another was on the loose, NBC News said. A third shooter may be involved, according to NBC News affiliate KCEN in Waco, which said the person was holed up in building 42006 on the base and had opened fire on SWAT team members. KCEN quoted a source as saying the shooter had a high-powered rifle.

I want to know if the shooters are U.S soldiers

CNN says "up to 9 peopel dead"

that's a wierd way of putting it.

[untarded]

Killing US Soldiers in the state of Texas.  Might be the fastest trial and execution in US history.

[subro]

CNN is now saying 11 dead, 31 wounded and that there are three suspects who are US Soldiers. What a tragic event.

[fsu813]

1 gunman is dead

They need to let the soldiers storm that building with the gunmen held up and let them take care of things

12 dead 31 wounded
shooter was an officer and was a US Soldier(the only one they have confirmed)

Hmm.  Malik Nadal Hasan.

Yesterday 5 brits were killed on base in afghanistan
today 12 were killed on base in Fort Hood.

Today is also Guy Fawkes Day.
    Remember, remember the fifth of November,
    The gunpowder treason and plot,
    I know of no reason
    Why the gunpowder treason
    Should ever be forgot.

I'd hate to think that had anything to do with it. I know a bunch of them belive in Guy Fawke's message but they wouldnt take it out on one another, this has to be some of their own issues but I wont doubt the media will spin it if they think about it

The shooter was an islamic convert...

This is just very sad. Now we will have people questioning islamic people again, here we go 911 all over again in a more focused manner. Very sad for all the families of those involved.

The shooter was an islamic convert...

According to the news this morning he has been a life long Muslim although he was born in this country to Jordanian parents.  Educated in public schools in Virginia/Maryland and sent to medical school by the military.

Years ago I read that psychiatrists had the highest rate of suicide of any medical professionals.  I think they were followed closely by dentists who were handling mercury at that time.  Wonder if their rate of suicide has changed now that mercury is no longer used in fillings?
