interesting news to report – for all the flak FOX gets..I just saw an ABC News Nightly report that MENTIONED FOX as a SOURCE of a piece of information, the interview with man who knows Hasan

how interesting is that?

I wish HE was killed in the gunfire, he certainly DESERVED to die

*There were reports of more than one shooter at the beginning.

*Some time AFTER the initial incident, there were reports of gunfire elsewhere on the base. There was even one news video that showed that at the time.

*There were reports of RIFLE fire. More specifically, “M-16″ rifle fire was reported, by Army personnel who should know the quite distinctive sound of the 5.56 round breaking the sound barrier.

*Then we are told that there was just the one shooter and that the one shooter was dead.

*Now the shooter apparently got better?

This looks and smells like a duck.

Get ready for the quack.

I love how he is the SUSPECTED shooter in the press now…. WTF???? there is no SUSPECT about it. He was killing people, they gunned him down while he was doing it…

I was crying earlier when I saw this, I am a vet, my sister is active duty at the moment and all I can think of is… a soldier signs up knowing he (or she) might die, but expects it to be in combat.. not at the hands of a fellow soldier.

As a former Arab linguist in the army, I knew plenty of both Arabs and muslims in the army… and sad though it is, very few would ever do something like this. They signed up because they were Americans now and proud to be such. And to think there was a time when I was young and impressionable that I almost converted… it’s very seductive if you are vulnerable.

also I heard the shooter was NOT killed…NOT killed, but stable and in custody, as reported by one of the soldiers at the press conference

I’m ecstatic and going bonkers that Cory got to meet Jon Voight yet at the same time I’m fuckin PISSED at this shooting

this has GOT to be the FIRST day I’ve ever had incredible euphoria and anger at the same time

I just now heard he was a life-long Muslim.

I know jumping to conclusions is wrong, but I’m so sick of all the talking heads on TV saying “The shooter was a recent convert to Islam and expressed his displeasure at being deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. We don’t know what the motive was.”
Duh! As if no one who sees a pattern here?

scratch my question..Fox is now confirming the name

makes one wonder if the triggermen thought it was an “honor killing”?

Bob,

When I first heard about this I figured it was a soldier that didnt receive the mental health treatment they needed. But, it’s hard to believe that (possibly) 3 people lost their fricking minds at the same time.

I hate to agree but I’m also thinking Muslim hit.

also, can that name be CONFIRMED by ABC? Shep keeps saying they are not going to release it because they “can’t take it back, and it would be irresponsible to do. we simply won’t do it”

ya this was frightening..I have a buddy who’s at Ft. Bliss texas, a Staff Sargent, but I found out Ft. Bliss is on the west coast side of Texas, and Hood is basically in the center

glad you’re covering this though, Bob

“FBI… Look into the background”? Is he joking!?

I suppose loyalty does matter. They should have conducted this investigation long before people are murdered. Too little, too late.

Here is a live feed from the base.

Nothing right now, but there is supposed to be an update soon.
