There's still very little info at this point. Waiting on more extensive reports.

My brother was stationed there for years and is a teacher right off base. I just learned that he's okay. Breathing more easily now--

News reports saying that the gunman is dead of a self inflicted gun shot. At least he will not kill or injure anyone else.

Four people were dead, including the gunman, and at least 11 others were wounded in a shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, military officials told NBC News.

The gunman, identified as Ivan Lopez, 34 — an enlisted soldier — took his own life, officials said.

Three other people died in local hospitals, they said. The conditions of the 11 people who were wounded were unreported, but military officials said one was in "extremely grave" condition.

Doctors at Scott & White Memorial Hospital said they were treating four patients, some stable and others in "quite critical" condition. Two more patients were en route and were expected to be taken directly to surgery for what were described as very serious injuries.

I just noticed this after I posted in your Kent State thread. Whoops! Seriously though, I am so tired of all this violence!
