Shooting at Fort Hood, TX

[goodhart]

There are 12 confirmed dead at this time, one of them being one of the gunmen. Estimated about the same amount injured, maybe more. They are not sure what was used, one of the gunmen was in military uniform, and using a pair of handguns. They were shot while doing deployment readiness, near the 1st CAV headquarters. The post is locked down, and to be honest, getting a hold of anyone could be hard, I bet there is a shitload of cell activity.

Both shooters were soldiers, and 31 are confirmed wounded. Both soldiers are in custody now.

Last I knew (a few hours ago) Aaron was near Austin which isn't far from Ft. Hood.

Fricken scary nonetheless. This is the biggest shooting I can remember with 43 total people killed/injured.

My good friend was stationed there before going to Iraq. He just left MN yesterday to go back to Ft. Hood.

I think he's in Dallas now getting ready to fly home.
