[William J. Decker]

12 dead and 31 wounded, latest numbers. 3 gunman at Fort Hood (Armored Corp Headquaters, in Texas) shot other military personel and MPs. The lead gunman was a U.S. Army Major with an Arabic last name.

Very interesting, and or course, tragic.

Prayers with the families and friends.

Tragic for sure...tragic and sad...

[Joseph A. Ferry]

I'm essentially incapable of being surprised any longer by pretty much any sort of news whatsoever.

This surprises me.

[William J. Decker]

From ABC news. The lead shooter was U.S. Army Major Malik Hasan, who was killed. Two others were apprehended.

Hope they waterboard them. It will be interesting to here how this went down. Someone flipping out or Jihadi infiltration?

[Michael R. Boyett]

I'm about 40 miles south of the base and it's getting very major coverage here since about 2:00pm CST. It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out. Hard to believe a coordinated attack like this appears to be would be 'stress related'.

More than one involved? Sounds like a planned attack and not a case of losing it.

OMG this is terrible news.

[Marcel R. Cyr]

Unbelievable, God help them all.
I am familiar with that base, my son was stationed there for 4 years, went there twice.
It's all over the news right now.

[Joseph A. Ferry]

CBS trying to connect the dots in a manner that seems to be trying to equate these isolated incidents with some overall crackpot element among military personnel.

Got to love the MSM.

[Joe Funderburk, CMI]

100 to 1 all the shooters are Islamic and have names that sound like a lugi is stuck in their throat.

As of 8:00 pm eastern;
muslim major hasan who apparently did not want to go to iraq or afghanistan. Tried to avoid going over seas. Went in to a medical centre and appears to have targeted people he new. Told a relative that "muslims should stand up against serving in iraq and afghanistan"
damn him to hell.
