Fort Hood shooting

At least seven people are dead and 20 wounded in a shooting at Fort Hood in Texas. Army base in Fort Hood is shutdown and SWAT teams are battling one gunman and one has already been taken into custody.

More to follow….

UPDATE: Things have taken a turn for the worse. Now the death toll stands at 12 and all the shooters are soldiers.  One of the shooters has been killed.

UPDATE II: 40 year-old Army major Malik Nadal Hasan, army psychiatrist,  identified as primary gunman.  The two other gunmen have been taken in to custody.

UPDATE III: One more victim is dead rising the death toll to 13 and number of injured are 31.

Also, the suspect is alive.

A psychiatrist went psycho and killed a lot of people. It must  be horrible for the families and friends, not only do they have to bear the stress of being deployed into war but go through this kind of tragedies  at home.
