Mass Murder at Fort Hood

[Update] Killer lives.

Auntybrat gave us the headsup with an email from a friend and to followup with the news reports, here is a linkfest for you.....

ABC- 13 People Killed and 30 Wounded in Fort Hood Shooting.. "Suspected Gunman Is Identified by ABC News as Major Nidal Malik Hasan"

CNN: Officials: 13 killed, including gunman, in Fort Hood shootings

The Galveston County Daily News:: Local soldier helped wounded get to hospital

NYT: 12 Dead, 31 Wounded in Base Shootings

Geller (Atlas Shrugs) has word from on the ground as well as tons of updates. She titles her piece "MUSLIM TERROR ATTACK: 'TWELVE shot dead' 12 30 Wounded, Mass Shooting at Fort Hood, US Army Base"

UPDATE: Unprecedented in American history.

Major General Robert Scales said he spoke to soldiers on the ground. This was "not the act of a crazy". This was not the random act of a nutcase. It was execution style, close range. He shot 44 - 50 rounds - that's a lot of ammunition to come out of those two guns in such a short period of time. This was premeditated. "A deliberate act of execution of the largest army base in America".

He was a psychiatrist. That's rich. Obama called it" a horrific act of violence". Obama just barely broke away from his tribal conference (did you hear his remarks after we had to sit through his tired well worn victimization of native Americans?) - and then finally, he made the most cursory of remarks. It was pathetic.


Video, H/T Geller, of Obama's statement on the mass murder.

Our sympathy to the family of those murdered and to the injured and their families.
