:nope:

I hope they catch those bastards and put them on the row.

Just heard about this.... 7 dead :o

Strange strange story.

Now Obama is going to make some sort of statement... wth?

12 dead now 1 was a civilian police officer.

Other soldiers have been arrested.

One of the shooters dead.

There doing their best to avoid the 'terror' connection.

I dont know but it sure would seem like these guys knew what the hell they were doing.

DAMN YOU!

I Just ran in here to make a joke involving this incident and Neal...

Now you ruined it... :nope:

They were probably US Army soldiers, hence the knowing what they were doing.

PD

A joke about this is not appropriate.

12 Dead, 31 wounded. CNN just released the name of the alleged shooter. Arab sounding name.. :cry:

I seriously hope that it was not an (terrorist) attack, and just ( as sad as it is) someone who had a couple screws loose.

EDIT:

The surrounding hospitals are in desperate need of blood donations for the victims as it seems.

Lets not jump the gun now hopefully we will get the facts soon enough.

My early impression was that it was an orginized effort so not only one screw loose.

But hell this may be a big drug thing or some other nefarious scenario.

Yeah, I didn't thought about that part.

I just saw the title and it reminded me of you.

Well, good thing I didn't, you're right.

:up:

I can only hope the rest survive their wounds.

Turns out the 'primary shooter' was a freakin Major !

(not confirmed by the authoritys)

Yep.. see my first post.

He was also a Mental Health Professional and was stationed at Walter Reed Army Hospital before being transferred to Ft Hood.

I have a feeling that there's going to turn out to be a heavily complex story behind all of this.

Plus one can't help but notice the Arabic name of the shooter. Whether this is an incident of terror or not, you sure as hell know that there were plenty of people out there thinking "that figures" when they heard the shooter was a man named Nidal Malik Hasan. That will surely serve to, in some extent, plant the seeds of distrust in the minds of those serving with Arabic comrades.

Aye, particularly so soon after what happened with our lads and that Afghan policeman. :nope:

Apparantly the suspect is alive.

I suspect not for long, as military justice will likely put him down like the animal he is.
