    WTF? 12 dead, 31 injured in Fort Hood shooting

    Any word on this yet? -
    At least seven people are dead and 12 wounded in a shooting at Fort Hood in Texas, the base's public affairs office told NBC News on Thursday. The official would not give his name nor additional details. It was unknown whether victims are soldiers or civilians. One gunman was reportedly in custody and another was on the loose, NBC News said.
    The base was reportedly on lockdown. Two nearby school districts were also being locked down.

    Fort Hood is adjacent to Killeen, and 60 miles northeast of Austin. The sprawling complex is home to at least 4,929 active duty officers and 45,414 enlisted. Civilian employees total nearly 9,000.

    Nothing yet, they are saying they were in ACU's, but not sure they were military. There was a graduation going on today so they picked a good day ... lots of civies going on base, probably less scrutiny of any ID

    Now they are saying the three shooting locations were at the processing center, the theatre and the PX.

    Pisses me off. CNN has been hitting hard the PTSD-combat stress angle since the beginning. Almost like they prefer it to be that. Not one has said the dreaded "T" word yet. "TERRORISTS" They'd prefer it to be vets I'm sure. b@sturds!

    I was wondering that too once Fox mentioned it, Cavuto is sayg that it's to make sure "no more killing goes on", but I'm guessing that's just a cover story

    Supposedly according to Fox News, "not a terrorist event"

    I did hit CNN but once they started with the PTSD bull I switched to Fox

    Terrorists disguised as soldiers perhaps?
