New developments in a mass shooting at the Fort Hood Army base in texas. The military is still trying to figure out why an iraq war veteran would apparently turn on fellow soldiers. The investigation is now looking into the gunmans history of mental health. The accused gunman is identified as 34yearold Army Specialist ivan lopez. Investigation described the mass shooting as deliberate and calculated. Reporter Polo Sandoval joins us from outside the furred, texas base with a look at the suspected shooter and what could have set him off. Reporter you know, that is the big question of the day. A lot of people are trying to find out exactly what led to yesterdays shooting. Meanwhile, we have to mention its been a very busy night for investigators. They have been probing into the past of this Army Specialist. He was a father. He was a husband. Police say he was a soldier who turned against his own. This sprawling army post in fort hood, texas is yet again the scene of a shooting. This time authorities the say an Army Specialist killed three people before turning his gun on himself. 16 others were wounded. The base commander says specialist ivan lopez opened fire in one building. Then continued firing while driving to another. Military Police Caught up to him as he started shooting in that second building. Lieutenant general mark millie says he took his own live when a military Police Officer confronted him. That was heroic what she did at that moment in time. And she did her job and she did exactly what we would expect of a United StatesArmy Military police. Reporter ivan lopez had only been stationed at fort hood since february and had previously served four months in iraq. Military Officials Say lopez was being treated for depression and anxiety and was being evaluated for posttraumatic stress disorder. We are digging deep into his background. Any criminal history, psychiatric history, his experiences in combat. Reporter neighbors tried to console his wife. She was worried and crying and she had a little girl with her. I walked over to her and i tried to console her and comfort her and let her know that everything was okay. But it didnt seem to, you know, pretty much, you know, sink in. As far as i knew, he was a nice guy. He always smiled and waved. Thats about it. Reporter shooting bears a sad resemblance to the 2009 mass shooting at the same post when major nidal hasan opened fire. There is still so many Unanswered Questions here. Investors are starting up right now. Their first full day of look nothing this case. We look into this case. We have to note this there are several vehicles making their way into the base. A lot of them men and women in vid. They are showing up to work, 1516 hours after those shots rang out. Something has to be said about the resilience we are seeing here on this base. A lot of people not allowing Something Like this to get in their way. But still this whole investigation does shadow over whats supposed to be business as usual on this major base in central texas. Tori. And, polo, at this point do officials believe there is any tie to terrorism . Reporter you know, that was one of the first questions that we asked, you know, just moments after this happened. They were very quick, officials were very quick to downplay any potential tie to terrorism. However, they did not eliminate it all together. So at this point, tori, all cards are on the table. All possibilities here. This could go either way. They still have a very long way to go. A lot of people to talk to. A lot of crime scene photos to take and a lot of evidence to gather. All right. Polo sandoval joining us from fort hood, texas. We want to note this just into the newsroom. The Army Secretary is saying the fort hood shooter saw no combat in iraq wand was not wound wash and was not wounded. Time 7 18. Meantime, the Senate Intelligence committee is expected to vote today on the classifying of secret report about interrogations of terrorists suspects. The report allegedly found that techniques like waterboarding and other controversial techniques were cruel and ineffective and didnt help in the hunt for osama bin laden. The cia is disputing many of the allegations and the report may cause a bigger rift between the cia and congress. An entire month without a single death. In all, 2309 American Military members have died in afghanistan since the war started in 2001. The pentagon says american casualties have been dropping as a number of u. S. Forces has grown smaller. Their role has also shifted away from combat to training and advising the afghan forces. Their mission over there is due to wrap up at the end of the year. All right. It is 7 19. We want to check in with sal, who is keeping a close eye on the commute. How are it things in Contra Costa County, sal . Its busy on 24. We are going to start there. But also on 680 and highway 4. And we do have a live picture here to show you that 24 and lafayette as you head up to the tunnel, the traffic is going to be busy. One of our directors here, jeff green and be i, discovered years ago in the 90s that people slow to take a look at the people at the lafayette bart station. People can be seen from the freeway. If you wave, you might distract drivers. Its a strange phenomenon. After watching flask for traffic for so long, i thought id share that knowledge with you. The bay bridge toll plaza. This is a 30minute drive into San Francisco, unless you are in the carpool lane. No problems on the upper deck of the bay bridge. A problem on the peninsula southbound 101 at wood sideroad. It is a crash. Its on the shoulder. It was blocking lanes. Traffic is backed up out of san mateo heading on south. 280 is a decent alternative. 7 20. Lets go to steve. Hold on, sal.
