So of course I must take time out to mention the horrific incident that happened at the Ft. Hood Army base in Texas. Of course this just happened during my sister’s first trip to Texas, but she is in Dallas so she was very lucky! Unlike all the people who were stationed at, working at and visiting Fort Hood today. I am sure many of you have heard about the incident, but if you have not here is a brief rundown of the incident.
Today Major Nidal Malik Hasan opened fire on Fort Hood Military Base located in Texas. 12 people were killed while 31 others have been reported injured. The shooter was first reported as killed, but he was only severely injured. He was an Army Psychiatrist who was reportedly promoted to Major in May. He was set to deploy November 28, and it was said that he was “very upset” about it. The shooting took place in the Soldier Readiness Center. This is where all soldiers who are preparing to deploy, or who have just returned from war go for their medical screenings.
