7 killed in shootings at Fort Hood, Pentagon says

[ComradesTrue]

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.

Now they are reporting he was an MD, a mental health professional who has also served at Walter Reed, age 39 or 40 who was about to be deployed.

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.
