I hope they find out who planned this.



Who the hell was doing force protection?

Theres not much any force protection could have done really... I'm sure if they weren't doing a good job, many more people would have killed/injured.
A large base like that with 3 assaulter (that are likely highly trained) could have done MUCH more damage

About 25 years ago, there was that mass murder in Killeen at, I think, the Luby's cafeteria.

I really hope this is nowhere near that bad.

Yes you are right Jerry

BTW Masterblaster has chosen this very moment to use as his pulpit about guns.

See the thread in SC


The bodies are not even cold yet, there are shooters on the loose and he says shit like that.

That shows me he has no value as a human.

12 dead ~ 31 wounded.

Shooter was killed, reported on the news to be an Army Major 'with an Arabic sounding name'.

Two other suspects in custody, also military personnel.


One of the killed was reported to be a civilian police officer, two handguns recovered at the scene.

Fuck that guy.

Random crazy violence is rarely a group effort, almost always a solo crime.

This sounds like an organized attack on our military by people within. I wonder who else may be out there planning something along these lines. I wish the victims had been armed and able to defend themselves. My deepest condolences to the victims' families and friends.

Turns out hes a Mental Health Doctor on top of that...

Although that does show that he might not have been in that long. M.D.s can come in as Majors...

This sucks. Let's keep their families in our thoughts and prayers, and keep this thread for updates and support for each other.

If anyone wants to talk about race/religion/gun/political issues, please do so in the thread in Speaker's Corner.

[airtwardo 6]

News now reporting that the shooter is alive and in stable condition at an area hospital.


The female police officer that shot him is also alive and in stable condition after being wounded.

If anyone is in that area, last I heard they need blood donors at the Temple Hospital badly. Awesome way to contribute some good to this tragedy

Apparently it seems that this shooter did not support the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and argued with others who did. He got a poor performance evaluation at Walter Reed. He was also about to be shipped to Afghanistan.

I think that's why he went berserk.

Aren't there easier ways of getting out of going to Afghanistan? Sure, none of them are in any way honorable, but why take 13 innocent people's lives and risk getting killed just to not go someplace?

Bah, trying to make sense out of insanity. Silly.

I seriously doubt Afghanistan was really the issue here. The issue is the guy was mentally disturbed and even though there appear to have been plenty of warning signs, nobody caught it
