I almost hesitate to link to this story because I know it will be changing as the police and army officials investigate further. This is where it stands now (around 5:15 PM).
A U.S. soldier opened fire Thursday at Fort Hood, Texas, killing at least 11 people and wounding 31 others, military officials said. The gunman was shot to death, and two others were in custody.
Lt. Gen. Robert W. Cone, commanding general of the Army’s III Corps, who confirmed the shootings, said the gunman used two handguns. NBC News’ Pete Williams reported that a U.S. official identified the gunman as Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan, who was 39 or 40.
My thoughts are with the injured and all the families, friends, and fellow soldiers dealing with grief and shock and fear.
