WTF is Prosciutto?
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
Something betwixt ham and bacon. Italian curing.
- Michael W. May
Prosciutto is AWESOMENESS incarnate. This looks so nommy, except for the mushrooms, which I don't like. But, actually, I can't see the mushrooms in the picture, so it STILL looks nommy. :)
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Prosciutto is pure goodness cured in awesomeness and salted with perfection.

Trying to remove myself from TV/news. I think I have watched nonstop news since 2pm.

How are you doing today, Michelle?
- Trish R
I am fine, Trish. Things seem different here, though. Maybe it is in my mind, I don't know.
- Michelle Martinez
I'm sure you're not imagining it. The entire area is traumatized, in shock and mourning.

The ignorance of the media on the military right now is astounding. No, officers don't carry around weapons in garrison.

But that's what happens on Army Wives...they also all drive around post in HMMVs all the time
- jamar78
Again, news people, soldiers on Fort Hood DO NOT carry weapons. Why is that so hard to understand?
- Michelle Martinez
*Shakes head*
- Helen Sventitsky
The story in SFGate.com pointed out that they don't carry weapons if they're not on training exercises. Well, TV news...I guess.
- Spidra Webster
They have weapons on training exercises but they do not have ammo. The only time the soldiers have live ammo is while deployed to a hot zone of if they are at the range qualifying. And they don't receive the ammo until they are on the range about to qualify.
- jamar78
You can tell how military oriented Killeen is when you go outside, and none of my neighbors are home because of Fort Hood lock down.

You guys doing ok there? How far are you from Killeen?
- Helen Sventitsky
It's crazy how that could just as easily happened at my base. My heart goes out to all those families! :(

We live in Killeen, Helen.
- Michelle Martinez
It's super scary, David. I used to work about 3 or 4 blocks from the theater.
- Michelle Martinez
Ah...
- Helen Sventitsky
I'm sorry, I initially assumed you didn't live near there. My bad.
- Helen Sventitsky
Oh, it's ok, no worries :)

People are now being allowed to leave Fort Hood.

"Army officials have confirmed a violent incident has happened Thursday afternoon on post. The reports indicate there may be at least twelve and maybe even as many as fifteen victims involved in this incident. Details have not been released but it is known that ambulances and police are converging on a location in the center of the sprawling military post. Ambulances from several agencies have been dispatched. One unconfirmed report indicates an armed gunman has fired several shots and may have hit several people. Ft. Hood officials report the area is not secure."

oh shit
- Dragon Goldmaple
Near my house. My husband was supposed to be on Fort Hood, but had a teleconference instead.
- Michelle Martinez
Joel said it is locked down, no one in or out. Scary.
- Michelle Martinez
So very glad my cousin's husband left a few days ago.
- Yolanda
Yikes.
- Kevin Pedraja
Glad your husband isn't there Michelle.
- Dragon Goldmaple
CNN says 7 dead, 12 wounded. Edit: local news
- Michelle Martinez
so scary and sad.
- Yolanda
What the hell happened here? Jesus.
- Eric @ CS Techcast
They are saying 2 shooters, high powered rifles. One has been caught and one is holed up in a building. Fort Hood still locked down.
- Michelle Martinez
I was actually about to go to Ft. Hood, when got msg for teleconference and about 30 min later when meeting was complete we got word of the shooting on Ft. Hood. Company I work for is doing roll call making sure all their employees on post are accounted for
- jamar78
3rd shooter opened fire at the PX. What the eff is going on?
- Michelle Martinez
oh wow. Very scary. Glad you're safe! What's the PX?
- Jim Hearts FF
Joel, What is the STC or SPC center?
- Michelle Martinez
which Px?
- jamar78
The PX is the post exchange, just a store.
- Michelle Martinez
Clear Creek PX
- Michelle Martinez
Wow this is insane :( Sad
- Dragon Goldmaple
The local news on TV here in Seattle just said 7 dead, 12 wounded. :(
- Rochelle
STC is the soldier center where we outprocessed
- jamar78
Joel, The big building on Battalion?
- Michelle Martinez
BNO says 20 injured.
- Rochelle
yup
- jamar78
Local news hasn't changed the amount of injured, but that doesn't mean anything.
- Michelle Martinez
Now they don't know if it was 2 or 3 shooters.
- Michelle Martinez
Prayers being said.
- Jim Hearts FF
Scary! :(
- Carmen
Heh. The local news just said that Fort Hood is 120 miles east of Texas.
- Rochelle
Ha, that is news to me.
- Michelle Martinez
Oh geez, saying a possible suspect got away.
- Michelle Martinez
Also saying one of the buildings suspect was in was a traumatic brain injury building.
- Michelle Martinez
Rochelle, Now they are saying 20 wounded.
- Michelle Martinez
3 shooters, one still on the loose per local news
- Michelle Martinez
Oh good Lord!
- Jim Hearts FF
No, no, no. :(
- Derrick
Not clear if all shooters were military.
- Michelle Martinez
damn, this is surreal.
- Jim Hearts FF
I know Jim. I spent so much time at some of these buildings where people were shot.
- Michelle Martinez
Two suspects have been caught
- Michelle Martinez
Saying there was only 2, not 3 suspects.
- Michelle Martinez
phew.
- Jim Hearts FF
Hold on someone tweeted: "Dispatcher on Killeen police scanners near Fort Hood: "Male with a gun in a military uniform at the Dollar General in the parking lot.”
- Michelle Martinez
this makes me so sad...what a horrible thing for anyone to do.
- Karoli
I don't think anyone knows what is going on.
- Michelle Martinez
Sounds like the casualty count just upped to 30.
- Steven Perez
Now someone else is saying "The City of Killeen has confirmed three shooters were involved in the #FtHood mass shootings. 1 arrested, 1 surrounded, 1 at-large."
- Michelle Martinez
w t f!
- Jim Hearts FF
"Warning sirens are going off again on Fort Hood. Reports of another shooting at the Comanche 4 housing area."
- Michelle Martinez
Michelle, how far away are you?
- Trish R
Just heard from my cousin, her husband is back in town but at least he wasn't on post today. God. She says so far their circle of friends seems to be okay.
- Yolanda
about 15 min drive
- jamar78
Yeah, about 10 or 15 minutes, Trish, depending on what gate you go in.
- Michelle Martinez
Thank goodness, Yo!
- Michelle Martinez
President speaking about this momentarily.
- Jim Hearts FF
I can't believe the shooter was a soldier.
- Michelle Martinez
Well, mental health issues effect everybody-- particularly the military. They're under stresses that some of us can't even imagine.
- Jason Huebel
Current casualty count is 12 dead and 31 wounded.
- Jason Huebel
I know, but I still can't believe it.
- Michelle Martinez
Both soldiers who are also possible suspects are now in custody.
- Jason Huebel
@MIchelle, sorry for the thread-jack. I'm updating as I hear details on the news.
- Jason Huebel
It's okay.
- Michelle Martinez
And he was a major! Wow, just wow.
- Michelle Martinez
Civilian police shot and killed the soldier. One civilian police offer also killed. Lawmakers plan a moment of silence on the House floor soon.

"Fort Hood Shooter: Major Malik Nadal Hasan - source Drudge Report via ABC News "
- Michelle Martinez
News reports say there is no obvious link to terrorism, but they are investigating if this was an act of a lone gunman or if there was some coordinated effort to attack multiple locations within Fort Hood. I assume because of the other two suspects.
- Jason Huebel
No obvious link to terrorism, and they know this how? If the shooter was islamic this will be the last you hear of it.
- Spencer
I don't even have words. Michelle, I'm so glad that Joel is safe. Prayers for everyone involved.
- joey
I just read somewhere else that it is too early to rule out terrorism.
- Michelle Martinez
Thank you, joey :)
- Michelle Martinez
"no obvious link" doesn't mean there is /no/ link, just that they don't have definitive proof that terrorism was the intent.
- Jason Huebel
And just because someone has the last name "Hasan" doesn't mean that the soldier was part of some terrorist plot. The military won't make that claim until they have proof.
- Jason Huebel
It has been confirmed that the shooter was going to be deployed to Iraq soon.
- Jason Huebel
Saying he had something to do with Darnall Army Medical Center.
- Michelle Martinez
Major Malik Nadal Hasan is being described now as the "primary shooter".
- Jason Huebel
Hasan was reportedly "upset" about being deployed.
- Jason Huebel
They still haven't released the kids from some of the local schools.
- Michelle Martinez
Hasan was from Virginia and had converted to Islam some time in the past.
- Jason Huebel
Governor Rick Perry (R-TX) has a press conference in progress. He is stating now that there where "three shooters".
- Jason Huebel
That fits the definition of a "conspiracy". In my mind, that's an act of terrorism since it was a coordinated effort to attack a military installation.
- Jason Huebel
Another press conference in 30 minutes.
- Michelle Martinez
From @KXAN_News: - AP source: Shooting suspect was Army mental health professional.
- Michelle Martinez
Mental health professional? Oh geez...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
A general being interviewed is saying that the shooter was very precise and that this was a premeditated attack (which seems obvious since others were involved), so they aren't treating this as a case of PTSD.
- Jason Huebel
This same general says that there is currently no evidence that this was an "act of terrorism" and that there's also no evidence that the shooter(s) were "nuts". I think this general may be retired, so none of this is official.
- Jason Huebel
Its official, if you kill 11 innocent victims, you're nuts. Case closed.
- jcunwired
Well, yeah. But their definition of "nuts" is different.
- Jason Huebel
Congressman Carter just stated that there may be an additional suspect still at large.
- Jason Huebel
I knew there was a reason why they haven't opened Fort Hood yet.
- Michelle Martinez
They just said that Fort Hood is 200,000 acres. That right? Also there are five gates entering the base. So they have a lot of area to cover and the lock-down prevents potential suspects from escaping.
- Jason Huebel
Another source claims that the other suspect I mentioned has been apprehended now.
- Jason Huebel
Yes, Fort Hood is huge. And there are way more then five gates. I can think of 6 off hand.
- Michelle Martinez
We just counted 12 gates...probably more
- jamar78
A congressman is now saying that the two suspects taken into custody have now been released.
