UPDATE: An update from Fort Hood officials in the shootings at the military processing facility reveal that one of the shooters, a soldier, is dead and 2 others apprehended, reports FOX News.
The soldier, now named as Army Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan by some sources, started shooting after 1:00 p.m. today at the readiness processing facility at Fort Hood, Texas, leaving 12 people dead, including one police officer, and 31 wounded in a terrible and tragic killing spree.
The 'primary' shooter was said to be carrying two handguns, and was ultimately killed by civilian police. According to early reports, the dead shooter was a soldier who was due to be deployed, but had spoken many times about not wanting to go.
He was also apparently an officer, a major, who did not want to be deployed and was upset about the war, per FOX News early reports. He also reportedly was an Islam convert. His name as being reported by the Associated Press is Army Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan.
A video and a photo of Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan (Updated) is here.
