I think it is and they just don't want to say it yet. Just cuz it started at the processing area where they go to or return from war.

SCNDLS said:

But i can see if it was just one guy, and he lost it, but that its multiple people is just weird... they would of had to plan it out... idk?

Now they're saying about 30 wounded

Just saying on CNN...posiably up to 30 wounded

Not Confirmed

also in soldiers uniforms

My intuition is that these are not soldiers that did this...they dont normally shoot their own and dont they have to check in their weapons? Other than MP's i dont recall seeing anyone walkin around with m16's when my husband was in...Ive also been on a my sons marine base and didnt see them there...

tinaz said:

They do have weapons when they're deploying tho.

SCNDLS said:

But I dont believe they have them in their possesion until they reach their destination... I could be wrong tho...

tinaz said:

Two people on CNN said that they have their weapons with them at the center. I wouldn't think they'd have ammo but if someone's intent on doing harm that wouldn't be hard to do in that setting.

SCNDLS said:

true...

tinaz said:

Make a speech about how sad he is about what happened.

Everything's bigger in Texas . . . ?

The largest U.S?

Had to go educate myself . . . . . .

Nov 5 (Reuters) - The following are some key facts about Fort Hood, the U.S. Army base where at least seven people were killed and at least 12 wounded in a shooting on Thursday.
* Occupying 339 square miles (878 square km) in central Texas and home to more than 65,000 soldiers, civilian personnel and family members, Fort Hood ranks as the world's largest military installation. It is the largest single employer in Texas and the only military post in the United States capable of supporting two full armored divisions -- the 1st Cavalry Division and the 4th Infantry Division.

* Base personnel have accounted for more suicides than any other Army post since the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, with 75 tallied through July of this year. Nine of those occurred in 2009, counting two in overseas war zones.

* The fort was established in 1942 by the U.S. military to test mobile anti-tank guns on armored half-track vehicles that the Army was developing to confront German tanks. The area outside of Killeen, Texas, was chosen because of its wide-open spaces.

* Located about midway between the Texas state capital of Austin and the city of Waco, the base was named for Confederate general John Bell Hood, who commanded the Texas Brigade during the U.S. Civil War.

What's Barack doing? Couldn't he have talked about the conference last considering the situation??? Hearing applause and cheers right now seems wholly inappropriate.
