Shooting at Fort Hood in Texas

Horrible news today as a shooter has gunned down more than a handful of people at the Soldier Readiness Center. Varying reports of 7-12 people dead and 20-31 people wounded.

A shooting rampage Thursday afternoon at the Army's Fort Hood in Texas killed 11 and wounded 31 before the gunman was killed and two suspects taken into custody.

All three of the people believed to have carried out the shooting were soldiers, Lt. General Bob Cone told reporters Thursday evening, though the motive remains unclear.

Cone said witnesses reported seeing more than one shooter, but that couldn't be confirmed. The primary shooter used two handguns, he said.

The shooting took place 1:30 p.m. Thursday at the post's Soldier Readiness Center, where soldiers undergo medical screening before being deployed or after returning from overseas.

"We have a terrible, tragic situation here," said Cone. "Soldiers, family members and the civilians that work here are absolutely devastated."

Cone said the injuries "vary significantly" among the victims wounded in the shooting. The victims include one civilian police officer.

President Obama called the shooting a "horrific outburst of violence" on members of the nation's armed forces. "It is horrifying that they should come under fire at an army base on American soil."

He said he doesn't yet know all the details but promised the government would get "answers to every single question."

Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison said the shooting was a terrible tragedy for all of the military families affected.

The base and area schools were on lockdown after the mass shooting, and all those on the Army post were asked to gather for a head count.

So, the media is calling this the most horrific terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11/2001. 

Since the shooter, the public, and the media all agree this was a terrorist attack, why the hell is the government still classifying this as "workplace violence" ?  This denial of the truth is preventing wounded survivors and families of those killed from collecting military benefits and other assistance.

Sometimes you just have to plug your ears, close your lives, and think happy thoughts.  Otherwise, the ridiculous crap our government constantly comes up with will drive you totally insane!!   :wacko:       :crazy:       :wacko:       :crazy:      :wacko:       :crazy:       :wacko:       :crazy:
