Army: 12 die, 31 wounded in Fort Hood shooting

FORT HOOD, Texas – A soldier opened fire at a U.S. Army base in Fort Hood, Texas on Thursday, unleashing a stream of gunfire that left 12 people dead and 31 wounded. Authorities killed the gunman, and apprehended two other soldiers suspected in what appears to be the worst mass shooting at a U.S. military base.

The shooting began around 1:30 p.m., Lt. Gen. Bob Cone said at a news conference. He said all the casualties took place at the base's Soldier Readiness Center, where soldiers who are about to be deployed or who are returning undergo medical screening.

"It's a terrible tragedy. It's stunning," Cone said.

A law enforcement official identified the shooting suspect as Army Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan. The official said Hasan, believed to be in his late 30s, was killed after opening fire at the base. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case publicly.

Unbelievable that an Army MAJOR was responsible for this massacre.

The latest news is that Malik Nadal Hasan was a recent convert to Islam.

I just saw the headline and I knew intuitively what sort of person was responsible for this event of mass murder.

Also, watch Ombongo go on the record in some capacity and caution the citizens of the U.S.S.A. against being Islamophobic.

tss... what exactly where they thinking sending mussies to kill others...

They need to think thru the idea of just war before that. Temur had a good set or reasons why muslims could be sent to kill others. But aslong as west isnt willing to train up their own imams, establish religious schools, research and publish especially talored interprestations etc... they are just screwing around with something they dont understand at all.

Nor to forget a possible kalifate, and demanding that all muslims submit to the al-amerika sultanate, or else they are unvbelievers that need to be conquered.

Oh wait... im getting nasty flashbacks from some 1995 internet discussions on the postcoldwar era... and giving some ppl ideas about needing a new enemy.... and then remembering how i was later treated as a vip at the kennedy airport, and ushered past all security checks with apologies...

even got a damn thank you for your aid email from some us central bigwhigs.. old university email address so its gone now
Almost worried im listed as one of the intellectual creators of neoconnism & war on terror....

Day by day my belief that Islam is a religion for knuckledraggers is proven correct.

Question: Did the shooter pass/fail some kind of psych evaluation?
