Twelve people have been killed and 31 injured in a pair of shootings at the Fort Hood military base in Texas, a US Army spokesman has said.

One person has been arrested and at least one more is on the run, officials said. The base has been locked down.

NBC News network said the two suspects were in military uniform and that the shooter-at-large was believed to have a high-powered sniper rifle.

Fort Hood, near the town of Killeen, is the largest US base in the world.

Home to about 40,000 US troops, the base lies between Austin and Waco, about 60 miles (97 km) from each city.

It is not yet clear whether those killed and injured are civilians or military personnel.

Yeah, you may have been living under a rock for the past 10 years, but this isn't the first mass murder in America.

That's one more than the sex offender in Ohio....and it took him two years less in the process.

That's progress.

Well, according to the latest update, they were soldiers from the base so yes, but no...but yes.

There are questions over if it was war stress. Which is understandable given that they have been fighting 2 different wars for 8 years

The term for it is actually Fragging. Usually relating to mutiny.

It is also quite retarded (nay, completely retarded) to assume this only happens in One Country of hundreds.

Care to back that with empirical evidence?

imeddyhobbs wrote: »

Too early to tell either way. It could just as easily have been a soldier gone cracked. Hopefully we'll get more facts before this becomes a total trash thread.

Scary, but these things are going keep happening. Of course thats not much good to the people killed.

School/work place shootings happeen as often in Europe as in America. There was a BBC report on it awhile back. The American killings get more coverage given that any European News reporter can spin a hundred stories out of each one.
