    sucks that it's only mps normally armed on bases (according to cnn). You never think of a military base as being somewhere people aren't armed well enough.

    They said it was unusual to have firearms on the base, because they're kept locked up. So maybe that's where the other two come into play.
    Interesting. That might explain why only handguns were used. Still, 40+ armed forces personnel is a HUGE number to hit with just handguns.

    MSNBC reporting 2 soldiers have been released but a third has been taken into custody. The third was picked up very recently and is being questioned.

    wild speculation...

    Because there are more possible suspects...maybe whole thing started as an argument and one of the involved went postal.

    WASHINGTON — Military officials say the suspected shooter at Fort Hood was a psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for six years before being transferred to the Texas base in July.

    The officials had access to Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's military record. They said he received a poor performance evaluation while at Walter Reed.

    The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because military records are confidential.

    The Virginia-born soldier was single with no children. He was 39 years old.

    He is a graduate of Virginia Tech University, where he was a member of the ROTC and earned a bachelor's degree in biochemistry in 1997. He received his medical degree from the military's Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md., in 2001. At Walter Reed, he did his internship, residency and a fellowship.

    I don't know much about guns - how many bullets are in a clip for a semi-automatic handgun. A man near the scene said he heard 3 or 4 volleys with 8 to 12 shots in each volley.

    A 12th person has died at the hospital.

    For crying out loud, soldiers who willingly volunteered to risk their lives for us just got murdered in cold blood. Is it really too much to ask that we wait a little longer than 5 hours before taking this story and playing the partisan bickering bull game?

    No. Discussions should not be off limits, regardless.

    The BBC is reporting that Hasan is still alive..

    A US army major has opened fire on fellow soldiers at the Fort Hood military base in Texas, with death toll now standing at 12, with 31 injured.

    Base commander Lt Gen Bob Cone has now said that the gunman was not killed, as earlier stated, but is in custody.

    Two other suspects were questioned, but the army now says only one gunman was involved in the incident.

    Lt Gen Cone said the motive for the shooting was not known. One of the dead was a policeman, others were soldiers.

    President Barack Obama described it as "a horrific outburst of violence".

    The gunman has been named Major Nidal Malik Hasan, and he is now said to be wounded, but in a stable condition in custody

    AP sources: Authorities had concerns about suspect
    By LARA JAKES
    Associated Press Writer

    WASHINGTON —
    Federal law enforcement officials say the suspected Fort Hood, Texas, shooter had come to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats.

    The officials say the postings appeared to have been made by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who was killed during the shooting incident that left least 11 others dead and 31 wounded. The officials say they are still trying to confirm that he was the author. They say an official investigation was not opened.


    The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case.

    One of the Web postings that authorities reviewed is a blog that equates suicide bombers with a soldier throwing himself on a grenade to save the lives of his comrades.

    "To say that this soldier committed suicide is inappropriate. Its more appropriate to say he is a brave hero that sacrificed his life for a more noble cause," said the Internet posting. "Scholars have paralled (sic) this to suicide bombers whose intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers."
