    yeah, been following this for the last while. The people living on base have been told to close ventilation systems and stay sheltered. Creepy listening to the loud speakers telling people to seek shelter
    Lot of SWAT personel onsite too

    Wasn't there a mass shooting here before?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,935 ✭✭✭randy hickey


    Can't believe that last shooting was four years ago.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,466 ✭✭✭Clandestine

    Yes, 12 people died in that one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,807 ✭✭✭Custardpi


    Previous shooter is on death row now. Wonder if this one is connected at all - revenge/copy cat?

    But But if everyone else had guns how did they do this. You know as the Pro gun side say armed opposition is the best deterrence. Tragic loss of life tbh

    Military personnel are unarmed on bases in the US.

    Guns are banned on military bases

    Thought military police carried side arms. And the guards at the entrances.

    And how ironic Joe civilian can rock up to Starbucks and McDonald's carrying an semiautomatic rifle and side arm

    It's a fcuking massive base and there is probably 1 MP to every 50/100 men or more.

    Guards at the entraces aren't much use if the shooter is already within the base.

    Trained to shoot. Trained to evade the enemy.

    =-=

    From https://www.facebook.com/ASMDSS
    UPDATE 1913 EST:
    Base radio traffic saying shooter is Booker Muhhamed, same guy identified by LE as planning this type of attack. See link below

    http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/04/01/military-hunts-one-time-recruit-planning-ft-hood-style-jihad/

    UPDATE 1854 EST:
    Multiple reports that there are two shooters. Hospital is being evacuated. Apaches are in the air for surveillance to attempt to locate shooter at large.

    Medevac birds are still working.

    UPDATE 1840 EST:
    Reports of 1 KIA, 8 Wounded, Medevac Birds operating.

    Multiple reports that the shooter has taken his own life.

    Med BDE building. Suspect is still at large. Post on lockdown. If you are on Fort Hood keep your happy ass indoors if you are still at your duty location. If you live on post lock your goddamn doors and pull 360 degree security.

    Our sources tell us there are 6 casualties so far and we ****ing pray there are no more before the shooter can be put down.

    Help us spread the word.

    If guns are banned on base does that mean that people are searched for firearms at the entrances or would they just expect soldiers or visitors to voluntarily stash any guns they have there? Serious security gap anyway given previous incident.

    Might give away their position if they're hiding and someone calls after seeing it on the news.

    Nobody is stopping you but if it beeps at the wrong time you might get a bullet through the head.

    How many times have you seen a phone ring in a meeting, lecture etc and the person say 'sorry, thought it was on silent'.

    The consequences are a bit more serious in this case.

    Initially reported to be two gunmen, now reported to be one.

    The conspiracy nutters will be having another field day :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 439 ✭✭Harold Weiss


    What isn't being reported is that almost 1 US veteran per hour commits suicide. Around 22 men per day taking their lives...

    If those 22 men were to go on a killing rampage like those at Ford Hood, people probably wouldn't be indifferent to their suffering.
