At least 12 people were killed and 31 others were wounded in a mass shooting incident Thursday at Fort Hood, Texas, military officials said. The shooter was shot to death, they said.

More shots were reported later in the afternoon, reported NBC affiliate KCEN-TV of Waco, which said no further details were immediately available.

"A senior administration official told NBC News analyst Roger Cressey that the suspect who was in custody was an Army major with an Arabic-sounding name. The official said the shootings could have been a criminal matter rather than a terrorism-related attack and that there was no intelligence to suggest a plot against Fort Hood. "

Army Major with Arabic sounding last name as one of the shooters, reports say...hmm

Sad news my thoughts are with the victims families

Original reports stated there were two shooters (possibly 3) and that one had left the original scene and began shooting at another location. (that is why the number of shooters is sketchy).

Arabic-sounding name? Anything other than Smith or Jones.

R.I.P.

Reminds me I was thinking of making a thread to ask if anyone other than me has thoughts of impending doom. Like sometimes if I'm sitting in traffic or a full movie theater and I've had too much caffeine, I'll start thinking what if someone shoots up this place any second now or this bridge I'm on collapses, a planes/helo makes an unexpected landing here. Uh, sorry, TMI??

R.I.P. Fort Hood, R.I.P.

Nope, not at all. How many times now has a military member of Middle Eastern descent gone whacko and started killing Americans on one of our own bases?
