Fort Hood* tragedy

The author wishes to note, with sadness, the shootings at Ft. Hood today. As of right now, 9 are dead, many wounded. 1 suspect in custody with 2 still at large.

For all families and friends of the victims, I express my deepest sympathy and most heartfelt sorrow for this tragic loss of life.


Update 4:45 pm CST: Victim count stands at 12. 1 shooter dead, 2 others in custody. Tragically, all were military personnel.

* Fort Hood, with about 40,000 troops, is home to the Army's 1st Cavalry Division and elements of the 4th Infantry Division, as well as the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment and the 13th Corps Support Command. It is located near Killeen, Texas.
