Fort Hood Shooting
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33678801...me_and_courts/
Quote:
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. A third shooter may be involved, according to NBC News affiliate KCEN.
KCEN in Waco reported that the second suspect may be holed up in a building on the post.

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.

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

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.
