Fort Hood on lockdown

7 12 are dead, 12 20 31 injured at the Soldier’s Readiness Processing Center, Ft. Hood, Texas.

News reports of 2 shooters, one now in custody, and one at large.

Developing …

Fox News is now reporting there may be two shooters on the loose, and the possibility of terrorism as the motive.

hasanUpdate:
The murderer has been identified as Psychiatrist, Maj Malik Nidal Hasan. Two other suspects have been questioned and released. MPs are searching for a third suspect as the Post remains on lockdown.

Nidal Hasan, M.D., M.P.H.  Fellow, Disaster and Preventive Psychiatry
Department of Psychiatry, F.Edward Hebert School of Medicine Uniformed Services University of the Health Science  (BI)

This is beginning to sound eerily similar to the case of Sgt Asan Akbar, whose March 2003 fragging incident in Kuwait sent shockwaves through the 101st Airborne.

Update: T.J. Aulds reports this quote:

“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.”

 

I wonder if it sounded anything like aloha snackbar …

  1. The sad thing is, that in the past, I’d wait to see what was discovered about a case such as this. However, you can’t count on the media or the government to give a fair account of what happened. Even if these men were discovered to have posters of Bin Laden wallpapering their apartment, it might not be reported, After all ,we couldn’t possibly upset the people that have sworn to kill us all!

  2. Just heard from a man that knew Hasan on Fox, that this guy was espousing “sudden jihad” symptoms months ago.

  3. It’s still early, but I fully anticipate public announcements that this has nothing to do with Islam. (along with the requsite handwringing about the dreaded muslim backlash)

    • CAIR has already issued a response.
      Their preemptive strike on this “sudden jihad” is telling.
      Based on what some who knew him are saying, it has everything to do with his conversion to islam, and his disturbing behavior, but then I am being redundant.

  4. Mayhaps he was…mayhaps he wasn’t…
    Still a muslim that murdered because of his beliefs.

  5. It’s being called Øbama’s “pet goat” moment.
    Linda Chavez.
    Here is the video.
    Might want to download it, as google will surely pull it when the LSM starts complaining.

    • Henh, I watched this live. The man is more concerned with giving shout-outs to political supporters than the US Military.

      F him, and the goat he rode in on.

  6. update:
    TJ Aulds reports the murderer was shouting in arabic.
    “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.”

    I wonder if it sounded anything like aloha snackbar …
