Oh boy, shades of the Ruby’s shooting a month after I left Ft. Hood. Prayers for the victims……
Damn. Find the MF’s responsible and give them no mercy.
God Bless the victims and comfort their families.
Have I turned so cynical that I think this is a terror attack?
Three shooters…
I have no doubt it’s a terrorist attack.
Damn…just damn! I know one trooper who was supposed to be there today. He just got back from Afghanistan. His cousin is in DC with Tea Party. Damn. Public hanging is not enough for whoever did this.
Twenty are now reported wounded. Fox is reporting three shooters with one in custody. Perhaps a second shooting.
One shooter is reported surrounded and one is on the run.

Reports of three shooters. Different buildings on post. PX, movie theater, and one other location.
Gut says haji. Or home grown convert.
Additionally, shooting started at the processing center. One apprehended, second ran. Third shooter began shooting at a base theater. All according to reports on FoxNews. Lots of families on base.
Praying Praying Praying.
Have to get back to my own family. btw. ShepSmith is saying maybe 30 injured.
God Bless.

Just now on FOX, that it was not a movie theater, but a regular theater. Full of people on their way to Iraq or Astan. One shooter was wounded there. One got away and started shooting in another location.
Sounds to me like only 2 shooters not 3 as first reported.
Anyone on posts today, watch your 6.
thanks grover.
Well, at least I know my thinking is back assward. SOB.
Its too early to tell anything, so I will not jump to conclusions…
Unlike CNN, who has this as their final paragraph:
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.
They are already leaning towards the PTSD angle.
I’m eagerly awaiting a statement by Mark Potok, SPLC, on the events. Followed by Janet Napolitano’s statement.
Watching on Fox, it seems, right now, just like the typical cluster when you have an active shooter scenario.
Yes there’s one on the loose, no there isn’t, seems to be the extent of the reporting right now.
FBI enroute, yet the FBI already knows that it is NOT terrorism?
They must have Leroy Gibbs working for them currently…
On Drudge now…
2 SUSPECTS CAUGHT…
A third gunman…
4 SWAT OFFICERS INJURED…
Damn them, damn them those low lifes that did this…WHY?
At this point, this PTSD angle that the AP and CNN is pushing is baseless. When was the last time you saw two or three gunmen collaborate as a result of PTSD?
They push the leading question onto the spokesperson, and then write it as if the Army volunteered the information.
I find it hard to believe that two to three soldiers suddenly snap and commit shootings in two locations based on uncontrollable impulse.
Scary shit. They are saying it was soldiers. WTF? THAT. SUCKS.
For everybody.
Post General just confirmed live, all shooter were U.S. Soldiers.
Two suspects apprehended…which means we’ll find out soon the motivation for this attack.
LT GEN BOB CONE says the shooter was Army. First shooter is dead, two others apprehended.
According to the Fort Hood press briefing, they are now saying there were 12 killed (including a gunmen), the shooter was a soldier, and two other gunmen have been apprehended.
I have several friends there. Many are at work so I can’t get in touch with them, but my family is watching and praying.
Mother f*cker.
Shaking my head in disbelief, trying to stay rational. So sad. Feel like strangling someone…..
The other two shooters were also soldiers.
This came in by email from a retired Army Sgt…
“Officer..Major..Arabic Sounding name….Gee..Bet Obama is shitting his pants on the ..Arabic part…as the SPIN BEGINS !!”
I can’t find anything to back it up, but from comments on Hot Air when Dohbama gave a statement on the incident, he had to talk about what a good job the Interior Dept is doing first.
Kill the motherfuckers that they caught…if they don’t have the balls to do it ,then I volunteer….I pray for the families…
Damn starting to sound like more of a single shooter with mass confusion after the fact leading to reports of numerous shooters. I hope the first gunman was not a solo act, we need to get the intel out of this.
If this guy was really a Major, I highly doubt the sleeper cell possibility. Whats time frame to make Major these days? 4-6 years in?
Afghan policemen killing British soldiers, US soldiers killing US soldiers – I hope this is not a new tactic of infiltration. Too soon to tell, my mind is just turning in circles….
Shooter confirmed as Major Malik Hussan…Obama and the rest of the RAINBOW RIDERS already starting the spin and the hype…fuckers
Major Malik Nadal Hasan
Hasan is the corpse, the other two are still breathing.
Major Malik Nadal Hasan: http://www.13wham.com/mostpopular/story/12-Soldiers-Killed-31-Wounded-in-Fort-Hood/xyHfzhZUlE2IqirNcLUmcg.cspx
“The suspected gunman was identified by ABC News as Major Malik Nadal Hasan.”
Sounds like a white supremacist to me.
BUT, not to worry, it is PTSD NOT terrorism.
Maybe this is what needs to happen more often. Then maybe our government will open their eye about the stress these soldiers go through after being deployed several times.
Convert to Islam.
Reports say that the dead shooter, Major Malik Nadal Hasan, worked at the base hospital, and was a recent convert to Islam.
Maybe the names they give us are all bullshit. Bullshit to make those who love to follow blind to all the nonsense going on in our on government.

Just get the fuck out of here right now.
Iserved,
Ths should never happen in order to prove a point. Don’t get me wrong but the lives of these men and women are not to be sacrificed for the lack of knowledge or ignorance on the part of a goverment that has and agenda of its own. These men and women came to serve with the faithfulness to a country of people who struggle with this war. There deaths will be reflected in the lives of every soldier that was to be deployed and those in the future. God rest there souls and may God bless this country continually.
iserved…what did you serve? Dessert?You sound like some douche bag loser who had “NO DESSERT” stamped on your meal card…if you want it to happen more often…then feel free to volunteer to be a target you cocksmoker…
iserved,
Go fuck yourself.
Jonn…have you found out whose sockpuppet isucked belongs to?
sounds so Joe to me…
iserved–go suck a grenade you asshole.
we have fought pointless wars throughout our history that killed thousands not involved. But I don’t see you morning them. P.S GOD is made up story to control dump fucks like Ringo the Gringo.
Got to be fake, no one could have served and be that STUPID.
iserved,
you spell like Jesse McBeth…your day is coming MF.
iserved = troll
