7 killed in shootings at Fort Hood, Pentagon says
(CNN) -- At least seven people are dead and between 12 and 15 wounded in shootings at Fort Hood in Texas on Thursday, senior Pentagon official told CNN.
Two shooters were involved in the incident, and one has been apprehended, Fort Hood spokesman Sgt. Maj. Jamie Posten told CNN. "At this point we're looking for the other shooter." Asked for a description, he said, "we're trying to develop that information." 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." http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/11/05/tex...ngs/index.html =========== My parents and one of my sisters lives in the Killeen/Ft. Hood area. They are fine and are trying to keep me informed about what's going on. Still trying to get in touch with some friends. *sigh* |
It seems like the number of deaths and injuries reported just keeps climbing. What a horrible tragedy.
|
Holy shit. More shots have been fired at a housing development. I can't find out which one, though.
Just keeps getting worse... |
Officials are saying 12 dead, 31 wounded.
|
My heart is breaking for our servicemen and women at Fort Hood. What a tragedy.
|
Now it is being reported that the gunman was an officer who was about to be deployed to Iraq.
This is all so very sad. |
I work with veterans, so my clients have been GLUED to the TV watching this since the news broke.
I have been able to track down my friends who are stationed there and they are all safe. Some of my clients have friends who are still active duty, so we are trying to track them down as well. |

Apparently earlier reports of possible gunfire elsewhere were false. So very sad.. my thoughts and prayers are with the wounded and their families as well as the families of those who were killed. |
Truly sad for the soldiers and the families that have been killed and hurt.
|
So far all reports from those I know is that all are safe. My heart just aches for the victims and the families.
|
Most of my clients (I work with veterans) have tracked down their friends who are stationed there and as far as I know, everyone's safe.
|
The shooter is not dead. He is in custody & in stable condition. This is according to the Lt. General giving the press release.
|
I'm glad they caught him.
|
This is so horrible. I hate even thinking about how it went down. Just two people with handguns did this.
|
The Daily News did a piece on this today. One of the soldiers that was killed had just returned from Iraq and was pregnant. Really sad.
