Maria Newman from NY Times has reported that 12 soldiers killed and 31 others wounded in a terrifying shooting in Fort Hood, a military base in Texas.
At 13:30 Central time today, a gunman carrying two guns opened the fire on a group of soldiers in readiness unit, where soldiers receive medical checking before they being shipped overseas; according to Maria. Gen. Robert W. Cone said, top officer in Fort Hood, that the shooter was killed immediately by the police forces.
“There were several eyewitness accounts that there was more than one shooter,” General Cone said. Therefore two other soldiers were put in custody for further investigation. Yet, there is no information about the shooter identity or reasons behind this shooting. Authorities are investigating in the incident to figure out the cause of this terrifying accident.
“a horrific outburst of violence.”, President Obama commenting from the White House, “My immediate thoughts and prayers are with the wounded and with the families of the fallen,” He added. (Newman, 2009)
