Fort Hood Shooting

I'm not sure if anyone has heard this yet, but there has been a shooting at Fort Hood in Texas. An hour ago, the death count was 7; it is now 12.

Let's keep our brave men in our prayers and rest to the men who died.

I wonder if its because of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (first thought that popped into my head) or an attack by an outsider. My thoughts and prayers are with the men and women stationed there and their families.

Apparently the shooter is thought to be a military general of some sort.

Army Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan

Oh wait, nevermind...I read it improperly and thought you meant that he thought he was an army general.

I am sitting on my hands and trying desperately to NOT jump to a conclusion.

My dad was stationed there when I was in high school, and retired from there. I went to Lampasas High, up the road. I'm horrified by this.

How terrible. Someone I know online is there and her husband is about to return from Iraq (his 3rd deployment in five years, or something like that). She and her children are safe, thank God.

People on forums and such and on Facebook are already blaming Bush. Wow. I thought that would have stopped when Messiah took over...

What the hell does Bush have to do with it? Idiots and morons, the whole bunch of them.
