BREAKING NEWS Seven people were killed when a gunman opened fire at the Fort Hood Army post in Texas






At least seven people are dead and 12 wounded in a shooting at Fort Hood in Texas, the base's public affairs office told NBC News on Thursday.

The official would not give his name nor additional details. It was unknown whether victims are soldiers or civilians. One gunman was reportedly in custody and another was on the loose, NBC News said. A third shooter may be involved, according to NBC News affiliate KCEN, which said the person had opened fire on the SWAT team at the base.

KCEN reported that a policeman was among those shot

KCEN in Waco reported that the second suspect may be holed up in a building on the post. A congressman told MSNBC that a graduation ceremony may have been taking place at the time of the shooting.

According to unconfirmed reports, one of the shooters was being surrounded by police in the 42006 building on Fort Hood. That source told KCEN the shooter has a high-powered rifle.

The base was reportedly on lockdown. The Killeen Independent School District said all Fort Hood schools are on lockdown.



Temple ISD is on a "soft" lockdown. Parents will be able to pick their children up at the normal times, though they may experience delays.

FBI agents were reportedly on the way to the post.

Fort Hood is adjacent to Killeen, and 60 miles northeast of Austin. The sprawling complex is home to at least 4,929 active duty officers and 45,414 enlisted. Civilian employees total nearly 9,000.

Army spokesman Lt. Col. Lee M. Packnett said he was unaware if security measures were put in place at other military bases.

“At this point I do not know,” Packnett said.

President Barack Obama was briefed on the shootings, according to spokesman Robert Gibbs.

Fort Hood has seen other violence in recent years. In September 2008, a 21-year-old 1st Cavalry Division soldier shot his lieutenant to death and then killed himself. Spc. Jody Michael Wirawan of Eagle River, Alaska. shot himself to death after shooting 1st Lt. Robert Bartlett Fletcher, 24, of Jensen Beach, Fla. to death.

Why not cut through the Orwellian news speak and call it what it is, INCOMPETENT FIRE or even less judgmental UNINTENTIONAL FIRE.

I mean how 'friendly' can a bullet or a bomb be? HAPPY Birthdaaaaaaaay! Bang!!! Your dead. I love you. Boom!!! Your hamburger.

Thanks for that. While I disagree with all theology as an Atheist, I recognize clearly that Muslims are no different than the rest of us. We're all moral and sincere. That's precisely why the NWO gains ground on us each day. We're human. They're not.

Empathy, compassion and love are all necessary in our world and they are absent from theirs.

I bet this Hassan guy has ties with Afghanistan! What a perfect excuse for them to send more troops over there because the big bad scary muslims are up to no good, plotting mass destruction all over the planet! Obama's approval rating is low and the public isn't down with the war anymore! It very well may be a false flag! Of course I'm just speculating at this point.

How ironic that the suspect in the shooting has an Arabic name. Now they have their boogie man! It will be interesting to see how the MSM spins this case and the liberties they will try to steal from us once again! Only time will tell I guess.
