FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) - The U.S. Army says 12 people have been
killed and 31 wounded in a shooting rampage on the Fort Hood Army
base in Texas.
     
Lt. Gen Bob Cone said at a news conference that one shooter has
been killed and two suspects were apprehended on Thursday. He says
they are all U.S. soldiers.
     
The shooting began around 1:30 p.m. Cone says that all the
casualties took place at the base's Soldier Readiness Center where
soldiers who are about to be deployed or who are returning undergo
medical screening.
     
He says the primary shooter used two handguns in the attack.

His computer has been seized by our government. By now, we probably know if this was a random act by a sicko or a very well calculated act of terrorism.

The army commanders at Ft. Hood are responsible for this. There had to be red flags on this individual. Senior officers working with individual ignored the signs and dropped the ball. This needs to be looked at at all military installations world wide. ba

I think profiling is not the answer, First of all this person was born in the united states, And why is it because someone one commits a crime it has to be based on race, dont see everytime a hispanic commit a crime, we condemn hispanic. I think anyone who commits such crime should look at as an individual, not race or religion.

The Corpus Christi City Council has voted to negotiate with the National Swim Center to replace the Coliseum. Do you agree?

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
  • No. Rennovate it and use as a public venue, as it has been.
  • I liked the Brass/Ice Skating Rink idea.
