Fort Hood Under Attack!!!!

At least 3 people have shot and killed a number of those in the army base! One has been captured and at least 2 are on the run and still shooting!!

Some 33 thousand soldiers are on this base. President Obama has just been notified.

Looks like the work of one or two people...

At least 2 perhaps 3.

Either shooters are disillusioned soldiers or are terrorists (in my opinion).

I read that one of the suspects is in custody.

Seven dead now.  12 or more wounded.

One shooter "neutralized" the other "cornered"

(CNN) -- Two gunmen in military uniforms shot and killed as many as nine people and wounded as many as 20 at Fort Hood in Texas on Thursday, officials said.

One of the shooters has been apprehended, Fort Hood spokesman Sgt. Maj. Jamie Posten told CNN.

"At this point we're looking for the other shooter," Posten said. Asked for a description, he said, "we're trying to develop that information."

The shooters were wearing military uniforms, but it was unclear whether they were soldiers, said U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas

President Obama has been informed of the incident, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters.

Fort Hood was asking people on post to stay away from windows, CNN affiliate KXXV said. The incident took place at the sports dome, now known as the soldier readiness area, the station reported.

FBI agents are headed to the scene to assist, said Erik Vasys, spokesman for the FBI office in San Antonio. He had no other details.

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."

Fort Hood is the Army's largest U.S. post, with about 40,000 troops. It is home to the Army's 1st Cavalry Division and elements of the 4th Infantry Division, as well as the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment and the 13th Corps Support Command. It is located near Killeen, Texas.

Fort Hood is home to the Warrior Combat Stress Reset Program, which is designed to help soldiers overcome combat stress issues.

In June, Fort Hood's commander, Lt. Gen. Rick Lynch, told CNN that he was trying to ease the kind of stresses soldiers face. He has pushed for soldiers working a day schedule to return home for dinner by 6 p.m., and required his personal authorization for anyone working weekends. At the time, two soldiers stationed there had committed suicide in 2009 -- a rate well below those of other posts.

I have been down to Killeen TX for a District Convention.

Fort Hood is huge!

I did not know until now that it's the largest army base in the world.

Been watching it on CNN.

All additional nursing staff has been secured for Scott and White.....  receiving victims and high risk from Darnall

Current local reports suggest 1 gunman in custody/dead? Another surrounded and third at large.

 A sad day for the Killeen community who hasn't had such sad events since the Luby's massacre

Third suspect apprehended!

If there is more than 1 suspect....

then this sounds more like a group effort....

which sounds more like a terrorist attack.

Did you see the news story about an elderly gang who got within striking distance of the largest nuclear arsenal in the US (in Washington)?

Do you think this guy was storing up treasure in Heaven?

The suspected gunman was identified as Major Malik Nadal Hasan.

 Malik Nadal Hasan

With a name like that....I am thinking he was a terrorist sleeper who was called to attack.

Skeeter

OMG.  He has a Facebook page (I think)

That's his name. They're saying the military is keeping a lid on info coming out. He is a MAJOR!

Instead of worrying about gays and lesbians within the ranks....I think we should first worry about there being terrorist in the military!

Obama's press conference: He didn't seem too too fazed.

, 3 shooters per the Gov. 1 is dead.
