Re: This Just In
Thu, November 5, 2009 - 2:46 PMNow they've identified the shooter:
Twelve people have been killed and 31 wounded in a shooting spree at a Texas military base by what officials believe was possibly carried out by an Army officer.
The suspected gunman was identified by ABC News as Major Malik Nadal Hasan.
The shooter was killed and two other suspects, who are also soldiers, have been apprehended, Lt. Gen. Robert W. Cone said.
The gunman used two handguns, Cone said. He wasn't sure if the shooter reloaded the weapons during the attack.

With a name like that, we have to wonder whether religious motives were involved.

Thu, November 5, 2009 - 3:58 PMCable news reports that the gunman was an Army psychiatrist, 39 or 40 years old, who was upset about going to Iraq. No known terrorist connections. I will not be posting any more updates, because I do not wish to spam the board with news you can get elsewhere.
Wikipedia now has a page on the incident:
