i.d. or a card used by civilian contractors or some other i.d. then if you go through that i.d. process if you don t have a military i.d. you have your vehicle inspected and are suggested to that. this guy had to get access to the base and probably have a legitimate reason to be there. why he did it, we have had everything from higher number of suicides over the last several years, the stress level has eased up somewhat because ourops tempo has dropped overseas. you have had military under stress. so, you know, i prefer i guess not to get out there and try to play mind reader for this guy. i don t want to do that. i would want to know is how you would go about trying to you have the shooter is dead and so motivation is important to try to find out how you go about
very large base, this is a city within the city. this is among where there s a lot of transient soldiers, frankly. soldiers getting ready to get shipped out, coming in. would you describe it, is it easier to get out of ft. hood because it s so large? the access points are the access points. and you have large bases all around the united states. like ft. brag is another example. can you get on there and it s really the difference between, are you showing up with a proper military i.d. or are you just showing up with a regular driver s license. if you had a regular driver s license, you re going to go through a more thorough screening process, if you re there with military and civilian contractor, it s easy for you to get on to the base with weaponsp and you can almost make the case, you may be better off.
single shooter and that shooter it appears has been shot and killed. it still remains an active shooting scene as the search continues for any other possible shooters. according to the officials as many as eight people were wounded and it s believed that four of them have been are in grave or critical condition as a result of this shooting. again, the search continues on the base because it is not clear whether there were others involved. no motive, no identification of the shooting as of yet. although there was some discussion among military officials about the possibility that this was another sort of jihadist attack as we have seen in 2009 when army major nidal hasan opened fire at the base killing 13 and wounding 32. he since has been convicted and is awaiting his death sentence on death row in military custody. so that s the latest we have
we are following breaking news out of fort hood. another shooting at fort hood. there are at least eight people injured from the shooting, one dead. it is believed according to our sources that the dead individual is the shooter and is the lone shooter. yes, there were earlier reports that claimed there were two shooters. just like in many of these situations that we have all unfortunately been through too many times some of the early reports about a secondt shooter turned out not to be true. they are still combing the base. it is still a lockdown situation to see if there is a second shooter. military personnel say they are confident there was a holone gunman and that person is dead. as for the eight injured at least four described to us as in
each location where the shooter actually fired his weapon. and then there will be be a determination which would be primarily by the military on how the weapon got there because soldiers aren t allowed to be armed on the base unless they are in a guard duty status as an np. they don t just use regular soldiers, they use trained nps and contract police personnel. tell me this about the military police and the differences in their capabilities from what the fbi can do. they have the same level of investigative ability? or is this something they need the fbi there to help them with? military police would not be doing the investigation. they would be the army c.i.d. command. they work very closely with the fbi. they have very similar training. the vast majority of them came out of the mp ranks.
