(CNN) -- Eleven people plus a gunman were dead and 31 wounded after
the gunman opened fire Thursday on a soldier-processing center at Fort
Hood, Texas, officials said.
The gunman was a soldier, and two other soldiers have been detained as
suspects, Army Lt. Gen. Bob Cone said.
The slain gunman was identified as Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan, according
to a law enforcement source. The source believes he is 39 or 40 years
old.
Ten of the other dead also were soldiers, while the remaining one was
a civilian police officer who was working as a contractor on the base,
Cone said.
Two of the injured were in "very serious" condition, Fort Hood
spokesman Christopher Hogue said.

More than one shooter may have been involved, Cone said.
"All the casualties took place at the initial incident, that took
place at 13:30 [1:30 p.m. CT], at the soldier readiness facility,"
Cone said.

The primary shooter had two weapons, both handguns, he said.
"The local police response forces were there relatively quickly and
killed the confirmed shooter," Cone said.
President Obama called the shootings "tragic" and "a horrific outburst
of violence." He expressed his condolences for the shooting victims.
"These are men and women who have made the selfless and courageous
decision to risk, and at times give, their lives to protect the rest
of us on a daily basis," Obama said. "It's difficult enough when we
lose these brave Americans in battles overseas. It is horrifying that
they should come under fire at an Army base on American soil."
Officials at Fort Hood, which is the Army's largest U.S. post, were
asking people there to stay away from windows, CNN affiliate KXXV
said. The incident took place at the sports dome, now known as the
soldier readiness area, the station reported.
A congressional aide said he was on the post to attend a graduation
service when he saw a soldier with blood on his uniform near the
building where the service was being held, the Austin American-
Statesman reported.
Greg Schannep, an aide to U.S. Rep. John Carter, said the soldier ran
past him and said a man was shooting. He said the soldier appeared to
be injured in a shoulder, the American-Statesman reported.
FBI agents are headed to the scene to assist, said Erik Vasys,
spokesman for the FBI office in San Antonio. He had no other details.
On the Fort Hood Web site, the word "closed" is posted with the
statement, "Effective immediately, Fort Hood is closed. Organizations/
units are instructed to execute a 100 percent accountability of all
personnel."
Fort Hood, with about 40,000 troops, is home to the Army's 1st Cavalry
Division and elements of the 4th Infantry Division, as well as the 3rd
Armored Cavalry Regiment and the 13th Corps Support Command. It is
located near Killeen, Texas.
At least 25,000 people are at Fort Hood on any given day, an Army
spokesman at the Pentagon said.
Fort Hood is home to the Warrior Combat Stress Reset Program, which is
designed to help soldiers overcome combat stress issues.
In June, Fort Hood's commander, Lt. Gen. Rick Lynch, told CNN that he
was trying to ease the kind of stresses soldiers face. He has pushed
for soldiers working a day schedule to return home for dinner by 6
p.m., and required his personal authorization for anyone working
weekends. At the time, two soldiers stationed there had committed
suicide in 2009 -- a rate well below those of other posts.

The story so far is that he had 2 pistols, but fired 41 shots, killing
11 or 12 and wounding 30 something.
That would mean every shot he fired hit someone...the math doesn't add
up right if you know what I mean.
I think this will also prove in time that multiple people were shot by
friendly fire.
One good reason why everyone carrying guns is not a good idea.

I should clarify that I know not everyone was carrying a gun at the
time, what I'm referring to is the confusion involved with multiple
entities or individuals responding to such things. They simply may not
have a good idea of what may be going on and who is ultimately
responsible.

If you've been following this story, then you know Hasan is a real
piece of Muslim work. And he was hardly hiding under a rock, no, he's
been out there for years marching militantly for Allah.
There's no mystery here either, not with DHS (the Lady Nepolitano)
chasing after tea-totting retirees instead of terrorists.

But yet, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, and CBS portray Hassan as, "The Victim". Yes
D.B.; you Sir, are correct This was a terrorist attack on our military, IN
THEIR OWN HOME! To portray it as anything else is misguided and
Anti-American!!
Those who think that this man was somehow suffering, or mistreated, because
HE KILLED 13 AMERICANS AND WOUNDED 30 OTHER AMERICANS, are so misguided, and
I encourage you to start watching other sources of news media besides the
aforementioned!!!
There is literally only one true, fair and balanced source of news in this
Nation today, that gives both sides of a story, and that is FOX News.

Bullshit. According to reports he was using the standard U.S. Military
sidearm the Beretta M9,basically a military version of the Beretta 92F
or 92FS. One doesn't tape together the magazines of such pistols, as
it would prevent proper seating of the magazine. The amount of
casualties will eventually probably be accounted for due to ricochets
and/or friendly fire.
What have I told you about staying up to late playing those violent
video games?
