I've got 12 employees on post there right now.  All are ok thank God - or were an hour ago.  It's not over.  Still at least one shooter loose or holed up in a building.  Army has phone system jammed right now and I havent been able to reach my guys for the last hour.

 

[chambero]

All shooters apprehended.  Shooters were soldiers.  Main one killed.

 

[OH Breeder]

Really unfortunate situation. The shooters were soliders?? That is terrible. There is 12 now dead and 31 injured.

A solider entered the readiness area and opened fire on soliders getting ready for Iraq. They say only one shooter and he is dead. Two additional soliders are suspects may have been shooting with him. Challenge is the facility are on lock down.

Horrible tragedy.My prayers to the families.

Tragic...

The shooter was a Major and was 39-40 years old. Shocking to me. I was expecting a young soldier.

Prayers for all the familes of the fallin and injured

Real surprising it was an officer supposedly.  He also had an arabic sounding name.  Dont know it thats confirmed or not.

Major Malik Nadal Hasan

According to Brian Ross at ABC, Hasan was a convert to Islam.

Per the last update, here’s another reminder of why it’s always a bad idea to speculate too much: Contra Brian Ross, the AP says it’s unclear what Hasan’s religion was or whether he was a convert.

“They were telling him that one guy was shouting something in Arabic while he was shooting,” Tom Hunt said. “He couldn’t say much more than that.”

Hasan’s performance evaluation while at Walter Reed was, perhaps not surprisingly, a poor one.

Apparently, one of Hasan’s cousins just told Shep that he’s always been Muslim, not a recent convert.

They are now saying the shooter is still alive

 

[Show Heifer]

Unfortunately, he is still alive. I hope we are not wasting tax dollars trying to save him.
I am sorry for the family's of the victims and have to wonder...... I will leave the rest unsaid except to say, maybe we need to keep an eye on certain military personal.....

My guys were turned loose from "lockdown" about 9:00 pm last night. 

The Army will keep keep him alive long enough to find out what they want from him and then he will be court martialed and executed.  It will be interesting to see if they bring back the firing squad for this case.  They still can do that if they want.

They won't put up with this from an officer - let alone a supposed medical professional.  This wasn't a man who snapped from combat stress, this was a coward not wanting to repay his tax payer funded education.

It looks like this guy had a history of "problems".  I know about tax dollars, but I was almost rather this guy sit in a hole for the next 50 years of his life than to be a considered a martyr for his cause.  Then again, when he finds the gates of hell as opposed to his 72 brides, he will get the message.

 

[chambero]

I'lll guarantee you they are making him very aware that it was a woman who shot him and ended his little attempt at martyrdom.

 

[Dusty]

He shouted 'Allah Akbar' which means praise god in Arabic. 

This is a load of crap.  We have let these people infiltrate into the ranks of our armed forces in the name of politcal correctness.  We even have a sitting US senator that was sworn in using the koran.

"We don't know all the answers yet. And I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts," Obama said in a Rose Garden statement otherwise devoted to the economy.

kinda like he did when the professor got arrested.

perhaps this is a teachable moment.

 

[Dusty]

And the whole Islam is peaceful religion is a bunch of crap.  They are taught hate and violence and not to tolerate anyone other religion. 

I mean when was the last time you heard of Methodist suicide bomber.  No you haven't.  Its the Muslims that are effing lunatics...

 

[knabe]

I mean when was the last time you heard of Methodist suicide bomber.  No you haven't. 

the media will rightly cite the abortion clinic bombers.

Well...meant to get in on this sooner, we are just about 35 miles from Ft Hood.  It seems like a world away our small town is just 30 minutes and again seems like a different country.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that's the problem.  You can feel comfortable but don't get too comfortable.  I think alot of us in this country have done just that.  Passive...am I the only one who wonders why in the hell (pardon the word)  this kind of guy is in our military to begin with?? A major of all things!...how many others are like him.  GOD help us all if that's the case.

Just like the NYC tower tragedy...those guys were here and trained here to kill us. This guy was probably only in the military for a free ride...(if I'm wrong I'd be surprised)
I just don't know...if we don't wake up and put a stop to some of all the 'freedoms' we're giving all these foreigners it just might be the demise of us all.

Wanted to also spread the word, I got a email about some special that FOX is airing on Sunday night at 8, about our President.  Seems that FOX is may be ready to air some things they've been sitting on trying to be polite....  might want to watch.
