At least seven people are dead and 12 wounded in a shooting at Fort Hood in Texas, the base's public affairs office told NBC News on Thursday.

The official would not give his name nor additional details. It was unknown whether victims are soldiers or civilians. One gunman was reportedly in custody and another was on the loose, NBC News said. A third shooter may be involved, according to NBC News affiliate KCEN, which said the person had opened fire on the SWAT team at the base.

KCEN reported that a policeman was among those shot.

Sad day...

Wonder just how Obama will blame all this on Bush.

I'm sure that they are working on it...

Now is not the time to start slinging a bunch of partisan horseshit about, OK? Can we at least wait until the dead are identified?

Matt

Jesus guys - they were confirmed soldiers (shooters)
In an all volunteer military - that makes zero sense.
