#13 NAS WI has activated the phone tree and begun notifying personnel that '...due to an incident at Fort Hood to expect tighter security tomorrow morning and plan accordingly....'

#14 22 suicides a day in the military. And then a homicide/suicide. Maybe the Commander in Chief will now have no choice but to address the moral and mentality of our troops.

#18 Comment from that Killeen Daily Herald link:

"All personnel on Fort Hood should shelter in place immediately, close doors and stay away from windows."

"Gentlemen, you can't defend yourselves here! This is the Department of Defense!"

#19 Gun free zones is a shooters paradise. the person who was armed who could end it in that zone was himself. Which he did by shooting himself. But the higher ups in this regime will never learn.
