Today a mental health doctor, and two others went in and shot up a place where soldiers go before/after to get checked out they go on one of their deployments to Iraq/Afghanistan on Fort Hood.  The doctor was shot there, then the two others ran and hid in a building before the police eventually went in and arrested them.

Happened a few blocks away from where my mom works.

Bet my dad was glad they put him on desk duty in the police station for a few months today instead of being out there for all that shit.

Local news is saying the doctor converted to Islam not too long ago, and that about 6 months ago the authorities noticed he posted some stuff online about suicide bombings.  They also mentioned that he was getting ready to be delpoyed.

I guess the way I feel now is how all the people a little older than me felt back in 1991 when that nutter drove into the Luby's and shot it up.

edit: link

Was pretty cool how the State Troopers and local cops and the local hospitals all rushed in to offer all the help they could between securing gates and moving victims to all the hospitals (since the one on post isn't in the position to handle a sudden shock of 30+ wounded people).  The FBI eventually showed up to work on the why.

I think our Congressional rep was the first to speak, then our senator getting ready to run for governor, then the governor, then our second senator and finally Obama.

Just wish that someone would have explained to Obama before he went on the difference between a post and a base instead of him sounding like a total knob who has never interacted with the military before.

Was hilarious watching msnbc and those retards making it obvious that they had no clue about the area that we live in or anything about the Army.

I think that people should have to take an English course before they are allowed on the internet.

And to answer the question: Being told you are being deployed to a war zone seems to be a trigger these days.

Too bad this is the first time something like this has happened in the past decade or so, else your answer might be worth something.

Does anyone think it is so bizarre that he is a graduate of Va Tech?

That's so terrible. :/
VA Tech isn't catching a break, and neither is the crime revolving areas and such.

All day while it was going on they were talking about three people.

Was a good hour or so after the doctor got shot before they charged the building and arrested the other two.  The other two were eventually released, so it isn't really clear what role they have in the whole situation.

Local news is saying the city cops are at the doctor's apartment and waiting for the Ft. Hood bomb squad to check it out...

although i would like someone to explain to me how someone with 2 handguns could kill 12 and injure 31 before being apprehended at a military  base

Easy.  He was at a medical clinic for one.  When you are at home you don't carry a weapon on your person on a daily basis, unless you are a cop for two.

Though I am confused as to how nobody just had some random balls to charge the guy while he was reloading, as a full clip in each handgun wouldn't have been enough rounds to do what he did.
