My thoughts and prayers are with all of our military family at Fort Hood as well as those affected directly by this horrific act. If any of my readers at Hood need ANYTHING, please let me know and I’ll make sure to get you what you need!!!!
I just want to update real quick about what’s happening at Fort Hood.. these are the facts. I’m not going to speculate on ANYTHING (unlike certain members of the MSM)
- LTG Cone said all suspects were SOLDIERS!
- No kids were harmed .. they believe the situation is now under control. (at 3pm MT)
- The initial shooter (an Army major) died and the other 2 are now in custody.
Please remember – let’s not jump to conclusions on the speculations or rumors that we are hearing about. Let CID, MP’s and FBI do their job and research the backgrounds of these guys before we start jumping to conclusions about the who and the why!
Now – as far as Obama’s press conference about Ft Hood. I think it was severely mishandled but what can you expect with someone who doesn’t have much leadership experience.
UPDATE
LTG Cone stated that MAJ Hasan was the ONLY shooter and that he is in fact ALIVE. Also – 13 people (including 1 civilian) have died and 31 wounded.
According to Fox News –
Survivors of the rampage that killed 13 and wounded 30 said the suspect, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, shouted “Allahu Akbar!” — “God is great!” in Arabic — before opening fire, base commander Lt. Gen. Robert Cone said.
I’m still trying to wrap my brain around this. It’s so sad. My heart goes out to the family and friends that lost their loved ones today.

I agree with you. Thank you for the thoughts and prayers. I’m still in shock
1st, my heart and prayers go out to all of the wounded and fallen soldiers, their families and friends from FT Hood. My son is in FT Hood (thank goodness he’s okay), but I am so totally upset about this. My heart is breaking for the soldiers and their families.
2nd, I saw you on CNN and just wanted to say thank you. I agree with everything you said and I did give them a “feedback” letting them know.
3rd, none of the media has even mentioned the 2 missing soldiers in Afghanistan! It upsets me that our media could care less about them, they are just as important! And what about the, alleged, 2 drowned soldiers that, Al-Quida or the Taliban, SUPPOSEDLY, found? The media could be investigating these 2 things! These soldiers and their families would surely appreciate knowing that the media are making sure that they are getting reliable and quick info!
Unless people walk in our shoes, they just can’t understand. Military life is so hard all the way around the soldier and family. We sure would appreciate the stress level being lowered by being able to count on the understanding of others.
Thanks again, Tammy, for speaking out! Oh, by the way, i love your site!
