More unnecessary violence.

After a brutal shooting at the Ford Hood military base in Texas at least 7 people have been found dead and 12 have been wounded. It is not known at this time if the victims are soldiers or civilians.

One gunman is reportedly in custody but the other is still running loose. It is also possible that there is a third gunman involved as a man was seen opening fire at the SWAT team on the base!

The base and all Fort Hood schools are now on lockdown.

These senseless acts of violence have to stop!

Sad, sad.

      Enjoy HELL scumbags!!

      PTSD??? Are you fucking kidding me? It'd be different if it was one shooter but it's 3 different shooters. How the hell can it be labeled as PTSD? That's some BS to the ones who really have it. I'm former military and I know what the hell PTSD can do to someone.

      the army actually released about 30 minutes ago that there are atleast 20 wounded, possibly 30 but not confirmed, there was a graduation on the base today so there were more civilians than usual, and the fbi tactics team is on there way down to ft hood

    18. 18

      I was on Fort Hood today forty-five minutes before the shooting happened. Very scary. All of the schools and Fort Hood are on lock down :(

      So very sad….and just an FYI Perez….its Fort Hood, not Ford Hood!



    22. 22

      you'd think with all those guns around they couldn't killed the gunmen before so many other folks got whacked.

      $50 says it was another soldier that flipped out. i live in NC and we're like a magnet for soldiers going psycho, esp. killing their wives and girlfriends, like 6 in the last year.



    23. 23

      Re: Zombie Hitler – LMAO! good point. i'm sure our boys in uniform would be very effective tsking and wagging their fingers in admonishment at the Taliban.



    24. 24

      I agree with Zombie Hitler. How can you have an army without weapons?



    25. 25

      Re: Zombie Hitler – And do you know these are army personnel? I don't. Haven't heard yet. If in the army, OF COURSE ASSHOLE, if civilian, FUCKING GUN CONTROL NOW!
      .
      NOW GO FUCK YOURSELF!



    26. 26

      this wouldn't have happened if more people were armed

      Re: SWEETPIECE! – Yeah Sweetpiece, the way the NRA reacts to any sensible restrictions on gun ownership while still protecting 2nd amendment rights is so wrong. It reminds me of how the National Organization for Women argues against even the most sensible abortion restrictions like requiring parental permission for minors.
      We can limit the guns out there while still allowing for safe gun ownership.
      Simple math, the western civilized nation with the least restrictions on gun purchasing (as well as the most guns purchased) has both the highest murder rate and the highest percentage if it's population in jail.
      We are doing something wrong here and it has nothing to do with our "cowboy culture" of the 19th and early 20th century because Canada and Australia had these as well and have no such problems with gun deaths. Again, Sensible gun control, waiting periods and no loopholes. No matter the cause of this tragedy in Texas. God Bless.



    28. 28

      Re: SWEETPIECE! – I got what you meant,..and so did everyone else with half a brain out there,..but there will always be the guy that needs to draw attention away from the matter at hand and onto himself. Congrats to Zombie Hitler,…you managed to draw attention away from 7 dead people and the reall news,,..you must be so proud of yourself.



    32. 32

      Re: ap076 – 28 Exactly! Arg, this is horrible. Prayers!



    33. 33

      12 dead. 31 injured. I'm in Texas right now, and we're all very sad… Please pray for the victims



    34. 34

      its 12 dead andcounting 31 injured



    35. 35

      You are so VAPID. Your closing statements are so BLONDE BUBBLEHEAD sounding.
      .
      "This must stop" Have you known violence to stop once in the past 3000 years? Will it ever? Probably not. Making such stupid, toss away statements just emphasizes what a terrible "journalist" you never will be



    36. 36

      I AM in the army, and am an MP. puhlease….refrain from jumping to conclusions. Until it is known for sure what exactly what happened and who did it, it is extremely unfair to pass judgement on the army community as a whole. While the army is big, it is a very small family and we do our best to take care of one another. It may very well be a soldier who did this, but that person does not represent the rest of us. Try to see the big picture and realize that while you think you understand what challenges soldiers face, you really have no FUCKING idea.



    37. 37

      This makes me sick
      Its so so sad



    38. 38

      its 12 dead 31 injured, all army soldiers were the ones that fired the weapons and 1 killed 2 in custody!!



    39. 39

      gawd i hate texas



    40. 40

      31 wounded and 12 dead. All in the Readiness complex, which is the area where people are checked out before they deploy and when they return. 1 shooter was killed and 2 suspects are in custody. All soldiers are on lockdown. They cannot answer phone calls or anything. If you are trying to reach a loved one, please remain calm and patient. Blessed be.



    41. 41

      FORT Hood, Not FORD Hood. No wonder GossipCop is on your case for all your dumb mistakes.



    42. 42

      Your a hypocrite. Perpetuating Michael Lohan's release of the tape on his daughter was a senseless act of violence done by you



    43. 43

      Re: Zombie Hitler
      Right on ZombieHitler! You speak the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Re: Zombie Hitler – hahaha i second that…



    46. 46

      My parent's live there and my dad is on the Ft. Hood Base daily. In fact he is supposed to by flying in to the airport as we speak. This is scary to say the least.



    47. 47

      You would think once you knew it was an Army base, you would have immediately known it was a Fort, doofus.



    48. 48

      Not to mention the video clip you have above the post has "Fort Hood" written right there.



    49. 49

      12 people died and 31 are injured from what i've heard from a friend who's there. i heard it was 4soldiers who went all crazy all of sudden tsk tsk tsk.



    50. 50

      It's FORT HOOD NOT [[FORD HOOD]]. MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE FAMILIES.



    51. 51

      Spelling errors with "Fort Hood" darlin, you got it right at the end though!

      Thats a shame. My sister was near that base with her boyfriend who's stationed near there a few weeks ago. Crazy.



    52. 52

      That's why NO ONE should trust those damned Islam COWARDS! Buddy probably worked for Osama Bin-ASSHOLE……



    53. 53

      islamic cowards assholes… they should all be rounded up and taken back to the sand where they belong…..



    54. 54

      :( I was born on Fort Hood. I feel like I've lost family.



    55. 55

      This is awful and it is Fort Hood not Ford Hood



    56. 56

      I heard about this earlier today on the radio. It was actually a graduation ceremony.



    57. 57

      Re: omfgcecilia – Yeah I heard about 30 were injured. damn Perez, can you EVER get a story right?



    58. 58

      Worst day of my life. Imagine having your husband in the middle of it all while you sit a few blocks away just watching it happen. I was on post visiting a friend and now im completely traumatized. Please everyone pray for all of us that were on post today and pray for the families of those who were killed (12 people) and those who were wounded (31).



    59. 59

      Fort Hood. Not a hood of a ford truck.. dumb ass



    60. 60

      Re: Gambitgirl – go to hell you dumbass



    62. 62

      Re: SWEETPIECE! – Hey dipshit read the news, listen to the news or something this WAS an ARMY shrink that lost his mind and starting shooting at a graduation ceremony



    63. 63

      "Ford Hood", really?! What morons do you have working on your site, Mario?! They SUCK!!!



    64. 64

      They have only confirmed one shooter. He is a Major and a recent convert to Islam. He was eventually gunned down and is in stable condition in custody.



    65. 65

      There has been one main gunman confirmed. He is a Major and is an Army psychologist or psychiatrist. 13 people have died so far, 30 are injured. He was gunned down by police and was thought to be dead but has survived and is in stable condition. He is a recent convert to Islam and was seen handing out qu'rans before the attack. 12 of the deceased were soldiers, one was a policeman. Very sad.



    66. 66

      So sad.



    67. 67

      Oh, this is sad! 12 killed and 31 injured. One is from my city. But she survived and called her parents during the shooting. The parents could hear loud noise and screaming then her phone went dead. Now that would have freaked me out! God bless those family are affected and give them strength. I've never heard of anything like this happening on a Army Base. God Bless America!



    68. 68

      My husband was stationed at Ft.Hood TX for 5 years. He just left a month ago and moved to Germany. My son and I just left Ft.Hood, 2 days ago for Germany.. I cant believe this happened. I pray for all the victims and their families and everyone on base..



    69. 69

      Go figure it was a psychiatrist that went apeshit…



    70. 70

      Islamic convert huh? I try really hard not to judge people but muslims in general make it really hard. (ok now everyone can yell at me) :(



    71. 71

      I'm from killeen and have family and friends that are currently dealing with this situation. Its so sad to see how rumors spread and the wrong info gets out so quick. THE NAME ISN'T EVEN RIGHT IF U WEREN'T TRYING TO B THE FIRST 1 TO PUT OUT A STORY THEN YOUR INFO WOULD BE CORRECT!!!!! Its Fort Hood, its only 1 known shooter, 12dead, 31 wounded, and the shooter wasn't killed he is stable condition at a hospital.



    72. 72

      Re: mscrybaby – Go fuck yourself.



    73. 73

      13 people died in yesterday’s shooting, 29 victims survived and remain in stable condition at area hospitals
      There was only 1 gun man Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who survived and is hospitalized on a ventilator.



    74. 74

      Re: kissmyassobama – sorry is that to the soldiers? if so go fuck yourself and die :)



    75. 75

      Re: calista77 – i keep telling people this but theyre all to politically correct to do anything about it :S



    76. 76

      The killings will stop when the degenerate cult called Islam is wiped off the face of the earth. Islam certainly is NOT the religion of peace that libitards claim it is. All mass murders around the world over the last 20 some years have been committed by filthy towelheads. Too bad this degenerate piece of human filth was not killed. But the best part of it all that it was a WOMAN that brought this pig down! Shove that up Mohameds @ss you towelheads! ROTFLMAO!



    77. 77

      Re: kissmyassobama – I am 100% positive you are talking about the Soldiers. Go fuck yourself and I hope you get a illness and die a slow painful death Bitch.



    78. 78

      It's F-O-R-T not ForD. You are a fucking idiot! That was such a tragedy! He needs to fry in the electric chair!
