Seven people are dead and 12 people wounded in a shooting at Ft. Hood today. News is scarce and still coming in and this is the only thing I've seen online about it.
Radio reports one person in custody and one person still at large. No idea as to identities of shooters.

May our prayers be with the families of those killed and with the wounded.

Re: 7 killed at Ft Hood shooting
My God, this is terrible. My thoughts and prayers also go out to the people who were murdered and the families.
This is so new, it is still unfolding. Fort Hood is on lockdown as are the schools in the area:

Re: 7 killed at Ft Hood shooting
News is reporting a third shooter was involved, so it appears there are two shooters still on the loose.
Witnesses said all three shooters were wearing military uniforms.

Re: 7 killed at Ft Hood shooting
Sheppard Smith on FoxNews is speaking with a Killeen official, who is saying that a THIRD shooter has begun shooting at another location on the post, near the PX.

Re: 7 killed at Ft Hood shooting
Not sure. It's possible that the second shooter that escaped the first shooting location is not being incorrectly reported as a third shooter in a different location.dklag37 wrote:3 separate gunmen?!
