Shooting at Fort Hood

For a few seconds I thought, Did Shooter post in this thread? What did he say to get Sly mad?

 

have a couple friends on base there, havent been able to get ahold of them yet

i like how the news is saying it "isnt terror related" like "oh thank god, it was just some normal person who shot a bunch of people"

and $10 says the guy was on happy pills of some kind

 

probably because they have that other guy locked down in a torture room somewhere

 

What's his Muslim name? :MARIS61:

 

A gun free zone. Go figure.

 

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to PapaG again.

 

I was an MP in the Army and I can tell you that everybody is ALWAYS packing' on base. Don't know what would make somebody do something like this to innocent people. Very sad.

 

Nobody read the actual article Sly linked to or else they'd know the answers to their questions.

(KCEN) -- There was a shooting on Fort Hood on Wednesday afternoon.

Three people are dead along with the shooter, and 16 others were injured. All were active duty military.

Thirty-four-year-old Fort Hood soldier Ivan Lopez was identified as the shooter. General Milley said that the shooter was being treated for mental issues, but not yet diagnosed with PTSD. The shooter is married with family in the local area, and he just arrived at Fort Hood in February.

Lopez is said to have been the only gunman.

Gen Milley believes the shooting started when he opened fire in a building. He then left the building, got into his vehicle, and fired. He then got out of his vehicle again and went into another building. After entering the second building, he became face-to-face with an officer and that is when he shot himself.

After a second press conference by Scott & White, officials said there are 7 male patients and 1 female patient currently at Scott & White. Three patients are in critical condition and five are in serious condition. The three that are in critical condition are currently on ventilators, and are unable to speak. Two had to undergo surgery. Injuries ranged from mildly superficial to life-threatening. The majority only had single gunshot wounds that included injuries to the chest, abdomen, and neck.

During the time of the shooting, the shooter was said to be, at one point, in building 33026 which is the Medical Brigade Building. Also at the time of the shooting, reports of victims in the Battle Simulation Center on 65th and Warehouse.

Reports said that the shooter was driving a gray Toyota, described as a white male in an Army Combat Uniform, and carrying a .45 handgun.

 

What caused him to go crazy? Maybe his Army S.E.R.E. training (waterboarded, hooded for days while thrown around the room or with arms bound behind his back in a little box inhaling his defecation), which is really just practice for torturers to do it for real.
