DEVELOPING: A pair of mass shootings at Ft. Hood military post in Texas left at least 7 dead and as many as 30 wounded Thursday, and one suspected gunman is on the loose, the Army said.
Additional shots were reported at an soldier’s residence, KCEN-TV reported around 4:30 p.m. No additional information was immediately available.
A massive manhunt was under way for the suspect at large, Fox News confirmed, and one person was in custody. The New York Post said that there were two shooters at the Army post massacre; other reports said there were three.
An Army spokesman at the Pentagon said the shootings began about 1:30 p.m. Thursday at a personnel and medical processing center at Ft. Hood.
The center in a place soldiers go when getting ready to deploy and when returning from deployment for processing issues, paperwork, screening etc. It is not a place where soldiers get anymedical-type treatment.

The US government’s incredible lack of understanding about Islam is going to cost more US lives, soon. The affair at Hood, with a recently converted Muslim, is but the latest outrage. We should be deporting Muslims back to their points of departure, breaking up CAIR, ISNA, and the Muslim Brotherhood- and maintaining detailed surveillance on US mosques. The Federal Government should be leading clean-up action against the several Muslim enclaves known to be operating in the US -NOW ( ref Third Jihad). Islam prescribes unremitting hostility to Christians , and Jews. Islam is a deadly plague that KILLS. After reading the Saudi-approved Yusufali translation of the Koran for several years, I am convinced that Islam remains the greatest clear and present danger to the US.
Our “President” obviously prefers Islam to Christianity and Judaism. He is nauseatingly servile to Muslim rulers, hostile to Israel, insulting to our real allies,
and something of a joke around the world for his lack of coherent policies. AS fast as he can Obama is dismantling the framework of the United States.
Hostile Muslims now uderstand that they have a friend in Obama, who is no friend of the country that was foolish enough to elect him.
We now have honor killing in the US an routine lawsuits from CAIR to take every possible opportunity to use US freedoms and guilelessness as a weapon against US. Virtually every day a new instances of individual or planned group Jihad surface here in the US.
In the end Societies get what they deserve. If we do not awaken from the curren
apathy and terminal guilt-ridden quasi-PC idiocy that allows our enemies to move freely among US, the US we will shortly become a footnote in histories of the near future. We need to resist forcefully Obama’s doctrines of domestic and foreign matters, and continue to elect authentic American leaders from now through 2010, then depose Obama at the ballots box–if he cannot be impeached sooner.
It IS internal ROT that threatens us most, by allowing our enemies to flourish
in the rancid residue of corruption caused by the coordinated actions of Obama, his Czars, certain Cabinet members, and Obama’s growing narcisisstic obsession with himself : His phrase: “I am what I have been waiting for.”
