A link to another story.

A prayer for the soldiers and their families.

Read one storyline that stated authorities had one gunman in custody and one was still on the loose.

Prayers out to the families....and for those in the hunt for #2.

Third shooter now reported, 7 dead, 30+ wounded.

If true, could be terrorism, not likely to be pissed off husband or an angry white male.

Time will tell. Prayers out.

24/7 News Cycle
 

I was flicking back and forth between CNN and Fox.

We are in the talking head time where nobody knows whats going on but they are talking to fill time.

The question is two or three shooters. The incident started with two shooters and the Readiness Center - one was caught and the other ran off. There was then a second incident at another location. They are not sure if it's a third shooter or just the second one at another location.

Better not be terrorists, especially Islamic.......:mad::mad::mad:

Big Teddy :munchin

prayers
RIP
and just omg in general :( :(:mad:

Spokesman said one shooter was wounded and captured by MPs. One other id currently "cornered".

RIP To the Dead, Vaya con Dios.
Prayers to the families & wounded..

RIP for the dead, prayers for the ones still fighting for life...I hope the count doesn't go up any more.

Terrible stuff, hope they get theirs...

Latest reports
 

CNN reporting 12 dead and 1 alleged gunman killed.

Not a fan of MSNBC, but just heard from them that "Shooter in custody is Army Major with 'Arabic sounding name'"

Update
 

12 dead, 31 wounded!
Total facility lock-down.

3 Shooters. One dead, one captured, one possibly still on the loose.

Situation wasn't even resolved before kay bailey-hutchinson was trying to get some air time. She just lost my vote for Gov.

The Great one will be along shortly to bring hope and change.

Foot Hood CG (LTG Cone) just on local news and stated:

• Shooter was a soldier w/2 pistols who entered Soldier Readiness Facility o/a 1330 and killed 12 - wounded 31.
  
• Shooter killed by DOD Police.
  
• 2 others in custody (suspects).
  
• Unknown reason for shooting at this time.

Already pissed at The One...comes on and places his agenda and politics first...

Anyone watching The One.

Starts out with grandstanding and giving a "shout out" to his friends.

Doesn't even have the ability to clearly speak and is completely incapable of showing remorse or any sense of emotion.

This will be beyond BIG in the near future. We'll see what comes down now. I feel for those that chose the rightly guided path, but don't participate in extremist shit like this.

Edited to add: Seems the SGM and I share a common hatred. Agreed Snaquebite

Major Malik Hassan is the one shooter they have identified..... Supposed to be a recent convert to Islam.......

Big Teddy :munchin

Saw that, everyone in our office was shocked.

Probably had to go with what was on the TelePrompter and wait for the new speaking points to be added.

Breaking news, shooter was Major Malik Nadal Hasan.

Probably from the religion of peace.

Good thing Homeland Security and LE were looking out for domestic terrorism from angry white veteran gun-owning males.

The suspected gunman was identified as Major Malik Nadal Hasan. He was killed and two other suspects have been apprehended, Lt. Robert W. Cone said.

Quote from the story: "The CounterTerrorist Unit said they have "no word" yet on whether this incident was terrorism-related. "

DAH - OK BOSS - Whatever you say BOSS!

Too much speculation...
 

Every news agency I'm listening to are full of speculations and all are trying to sound as if they really had a clue. THEY NEED TO SHUTUP>..

I listened to the interview with LTG Robert Cone and he did not mention any names. Wonder where ABC is getting this.

Prayers out for the fallen and their families!!

RE: the one, saluting caskets for political gain. Sen Hutchinson doing a much better job, IMHO.

I didn't see that part of her interview. The part I've seen she politely sparred with CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

Mr. Blitzer sought to develop a "renegade soldier" angle while Senator Hutchinson pointed out that it could have been an unauthorized civilian impersonating a soldier. Mr. Blitzer did not take the hint and kept pressing the "speculation" button.

That being said, I do wish that national politicians who are just repeating information they received would just refer journalists to a point of contact.

Evidently, CNN is rebroadcasting the president's comments without the comments that outraged members of this BB.

"The suspected gunman was identified by ABC News as Major Malik Nadal Hasan"

Sounds like ABC thinks they uncovered that information on their own.

This stuff makes me sick. RIP to those who have passed and a speedy recovery to those inured.

Shepard Smith was interviewing Senator Hutchinson and she knew the shooters name but did not want to comment on it publicly. I got the feeling from her reluctance that ABC was probably right on the mark.

Damn... Prayers for the families and victims...

Rest in Peace Soldiers and I hope they terminate any one involved....

I agree, and Shep is a little punk for not calling it. Probably afraid of CAIR backlash.

How long do you think it would take for them to name the suspects if Billy Bob Jones and two of his buddies shot 43 people at a mosque?

TR

Some local callers to 98 KMBZ are extremely upset that the hosts mentioned the possibility of 'terrorism' and not PTSD.....I mean livid!


Whatever it is, it is a very sad day.

A Muslim physician with possible PTSD just before a deployment?

Hmm.

TR

Pissed again.

A traditional moment of silence is 0ne minute....Queen Pelosi slamed the gavel after a WHOLE 12 seconds.....:mad:

Edited to add ...and that Freak Michael J. got almost a full one minute.

It has been explained that PTSD doesn't go down like this did. There were seemingly three individuals involved indicating it was premeditated; not characteristic of PTSD.

With the possibility of 2-3 people involved and with the other information that has been released.......Since it is time for prayers, I'll keep my judgmental opinion to myself.

You got it right Big Teddy!

If there is any good news here, two have been arrested for questioning.

Likely NOT PTSD!!!

Got a nephew (E-4), uncle (retired O-6) and an aunt down there. Spoke to nephew 45 minutes ago. Nephew said he was out in the field playing aggressor when it went down and so far have been locked down outside main post. Heard from other family members that my uncle dropped his wife off at thrift store and was on his way to help out with some volunteer stuff at his old unit when MPs and EMS went back the way he came from. Last I heard, my aunt was safe in the thrift store under lock down and my uncle was locked down at the BN HQ.

Having had to go through all the PTSD and suicide classes while in the WTU at Carson, this wasn't PTSD gone bad. This was something else entirely.

I'm angry beyond words. :mad: I'm sad for the families. May all who can be menachem-ovel (comfort the mourner)

Why are military bases gun-free zones?

For any who missed it
 

For any who missed it here is the Commander in Chief talking about the , ah, hmm, well, see for yourself.

They weren't always.

Weapons used to be stored in the barracks in racks.
