Fort Hood Shooting? AGAIN???

10:30 UPDATE: PTSD??  “soldier on soldier” violence??  “No terrorism here” message, of course.

A shooting at Ft. Hood that left at least four dead—including the shooter—and 14 injured Wednesday was a “soldier on soldier” incident without any apparent terrorism link, a senior Department of Homeland Security source told FoxNews.com.

A senior law enforcement official tells Fox News that at least four people, including the gunman, died in the shooting and 14 were injured.

The Homeland Security source, who stressed the information was preliminary, added that there was “currently no [counter terrorism] nexus” and said it appears the shooter killed himself.

Senior U.S. officials confirmed the shooter’s identity as Spc. Ivan Lopez, who was based at Ft. Hood, which was also the scene of a deadly shooting in 2009 that left 13 dead.

Rep. John Carter, R-Texas, told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly on “The Kelly File” the “knowledge I have is he was a truck driver.”

Carter also said the shooter was reported to be in full uniform and “it was reported to me most of, if not all, the victims were in uniform.”

He also said he had been told the shooter died of self-inflicted wounds.

UPDATE: 14 wounded, Shooter Offed Himself. 1 Dead , or is it 8??

via DALLAS NEWS:
Associated Press: 14 injured in Fort Hood shooting, gunman dead of ‘self-inflicted wound’

Fort Hood officials confirm there has been a shooting at Army post, and that there have been injuries.

The Associated Press is reporting that according to a senior defense official, one person has been killed, and 14 were injured in the shooting. The AP is also reporting that according to a Justice Department internal report, the “Fort Hood gunman [is] dead of self-inflicted wound.”

From Fort Hood’s press office: “Fort Hood’s Directorate of Emergency Services has an initial report that a shooter is dead but this is unconfirmed.”

The shooting took place at a medical support building just after 4:30 p.m. There are conflicting reports concerning the number of suspects.

Fort Hood tweeted at 5:01 that “all personnel on post are asked to shelter in place.” This is what that sounded like, per a video posted to Instagram.

Another update is due from Fort Hood’s press office around 6:30 p.m.

Scanner chatter does indicate authorities believe that at least one shooter is a white male, around 180 to 200 pounds, believed to have been armed with a .45-caliber pistol.

Scott & White Hospital in Temple says it “has activated its internal incident management system and is receiving patients. Hospital staff is preparing to receive and treat victims of this emergency,” the hospital said in a brief statement.

Things are still very much up in the air; earlier reports said there may have been two shooters, other reports said as many as 8 dead. Information is coming out in dribs and drabs; expect the “official story” to change dramatically over the next 3 days (starting with the FBI telling us how this is not an act of terrorism. Again. As they always do. Liars. But they haven’t rolled that one out yet for this story)

FOX NEWS: SHOOTER (the only one) WAS IN UNIFORM; 8 wounded 4 dead, 1 shooter

NBC NEWS:

The shooting is believed to have taken place at the Medical Brigade Building. Local NBC affiliate KCEN-TV reported there were also reports of victims at the Battle Simulation Center.

Officials with the Bell County Sheriff’s Office and Texas Department of Public Safety are helping to secure the perimeter of the largest active duty armored post in the United States Armed Services.

Central Texas College’s campus was evacuated due to the shooting, with all personnel and students asked to leave and all classes canceled.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
