The shooter is not dead according to the Ft Hood CG,.....briefing now

He lives! Odd.

A single shooter kills 12, wounds 30. He had the wrong MOS. :rolleyes:

Pat

RIP to those who died...never forgotten.

That's what I'm wondering too. There must have been more resistance than just the LEO that took him down. Single shooter in an enclosed area with nothing but enemies. You have to have a lot of motivation to do something like this...generally more than a bad performance review.

That's a scary thought Sig. Glad I'm shipping to Benning, there's a couple of people at my station who I think were slated for Hood. They might've had somewhere else as a first stop for basic though.

Now the family will sue for leading them to believe he was dead....

Shame
 

A shame - now we will have to deal with the leftist pap during the trial.

Oh, and from the Islamist apologists - "he had mental problems."

May be it's time to conect the dots between Islam and ..........

RIP to all the victims who have passed, the wounded and the families affected; this breaks my heart. As far as the POTUS, (if he deserves the title), sickens my guts! I will keep all other opinions about the way this is being and has been handled thus far to myself. :mad::(

That IS bad news.

I would let the victims' families decide what to do with him.

Personally, I vote for feeding him to the hogs.

TR

Move along.

There is nothing to see here.

Theses aren't the 'droids your looking for....

AP sources: Authorities had concerns about suspected Fort Hood shooter, reviewed Web postings

WASHINGTON - The Army psychiatrist suspected of carrying a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, had come to the attention of authorities six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats, law enforcement officials said Thursday.

The postings appeared to have been made by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who was wounded during the shootings at the Army post that killed 12 soldiers and wounded at least 30 others. A Fort Hood spokesman had earlier said Hasan was killed.

The officials say they are still trying to confirm that Hasan was the author of the Internet postings. They say an official investigation was not opened.

One of the officials said late Thursday that federal search warrants were being drawn up to authorize the seizure of Hasan's computer. 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 (sic) 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."

Military officials said Hasan, 39, had worked for six years at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, where he had received a poor performance evaluation. He transferred to Fort Hood in July.

The officials, who had access to Hasan's military record, spoke on condition of anonymity because such records are confidential.

Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, said Hasan was about to deploy overseas, but it was not known whether he was headed to Iraq or Afghanistan.

Retired Army Col. Terry Lee told Fox News that he worked with Hasan, who had hoped Obama would pull troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq. Lee said Hasan got into frequent arguments with others in the military who supported the wars, and had tried hard to prevent his pending deployment.

Hasan was single with no children. He was born in Virginia and graduated from 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. He did his internship, residency and a fellowship at Walter Reed.

Just pull his teeth first....:D

It may not have been his skill set as a soldier alone that made him so effective as a killer.

One can browse a magazine like The California Psychologist and find numerous examples in the disciplinary section of mental health professionals manipulating their patients into serving as active participants in self-destructive acts.

Lethal Injection awaits... That seems to pleasant an end for this one.

According to his cousin, Nader Hasan, Malik Nadal Hasan (the jihadi shooter) is a "good American, has always been a muslim and was born and raised here" [The United States].
