Ft. Hood Shootings
Like many of you probably are, I am watching the coverage of the shootings in Ft. Hood, Texas. At least seven people have been killed and 20 others wounded and some reports have said that some of the suspects are still on the loose. The video below is live coverage from a Killeen television station. My thoughts go out to those who have been killed and injured and to all of their families.

ReplyDeleteJeebers, this is scary. Still more shooting. :(
ReplyDeleteWow, you go to lunch and this happens.
ReplyDeleteKilleen is where the shootings at a Luby's restaurant took place in the 1990's. About 30 innocent people died, if I remember correctly.
ReplyDeleteVery scary. Let it end soon.
My gawd - my thoughts are with the families and survivors :(
ReplyDelete@.robert
ReplyDeleteHope your sis is no where near this madness.
Three possible shooters? What is that about. I can see one person going postal, but 3?
ReplyDeleteCrazy people on the loose.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, What The Fuck! What the fuck is WRONG with people!?! Now they're saying 9 killed, and as many as 30 wounded!!!
ReplyDeleteempyrios, she is fine but has more than 20 employees somewhere on base she can't find out the status of.
ReplyDeleteOh .robert, that is just frightening.
ReplyDelete.robert, thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteSo they went after the people who were about to be shipped out? This is so sickening. Their poor families.
looks like it's over, but 12 dead and 31 injured.
ReplyDeletewell .robert i hope she locates them and everyone is ok and not part of the casualties above.
sunnyside1213, you go postal in the area you work in and not at the place where people are preparing to deploy overseas.
ReplyDelete12 gone and 31 hurt. What do you hope for at that point? I suppose that no one else dies.
ReplyDeleteThe 12 shot dead were all soldiers--my heart goes out to their families. This is so awful.
ReplyDeleteI feel sometimes like these times are an unofficial civil war in America. It's so sad, so many senseless deaths.
ReplyDeleteLutefisk, the general said one of them was a civilian police officer. So a whole other set of families who have to panic until they hear from their loved ones.
ReplyDeleteOr he was the shooter, maybe? The sound keeps going out.
ReplyDeleteMooshki--I hadn't heard that. The last report I heard said they were soldiers. Thanks for clearing that up.
ReplyDeletei'm pretty sure he said the shooter and 2 other suspects were all soldiers and the police officer was a casualty.
ReplyDeletemy heart breaks for those families and those involved. the wait for the families is horrible and gut wrenching. i am so sad to see this.
ReplyDeleteAnyone near Fort Hood - they need blood donors badly.

Ex-army wife here. My fear was always that something would happen when he was overseas...never would have thought in a million years that the danger might be the soldier standing next to him. My heart aches for the families of those fallen heroes.
ReplyDeleteI'm not generally a religious person, but God be with the victims and their families.
ReplyDeleteWho ever would have thought that a soldier could do that to scores of innocent people on his own base? I hope the army starts implementing more rigorous psychological screening processes.
Rest in peace. Heroes, all of them.
@Jewels--what is wrong with people is violence in the name of RELIGION.
ReplyDeleteI know what I might get for saying this, but I also feel so bad for the shooter and his family. Mental health needs to be more rigorously screened--especially in the military. Lots of guys come back (I know, I know, this one hadn't been deployed--but he heard it ALL first hand and scared the bejeebus out of him) and are going through a lot of emotions and are just thrown back into society. Please pray for ALL of our soldiers--God bless them, they give more than we know.
