Fort Hood: "one of the worst mass shootings ever to take place on an American military base."

Thursday, according to CNN, there was a mass shooting at the Fort Hood military base in Fort Hood, Texas. There are 13 people dead and 38 wounded including the shooter, identified as Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a licensed Army psychiatrist. There is no known motive for the shooting and the Hasan's family, friends, and coworkers say there was no signs of Hasan committing such a violent act. By order of President Obama all flags at the white house and other Federal buildings be flown half staff until Veterans Day in honor of those who were killed and their families. There will be further investigations into the massacre and President Obama has promised that his administration will keep the public informed.
