A U.S. soldier opened fire Thursday at Fort Hood, Texas, killing at least 11 people and wounding 31 others, military officials said. The gunman was shot to death, and two other soldiers were in custody.

Lt. Gen. Robert W. Cone, commanding general of the Army’s III Corps, who briefed President Barack Obama on the shootings, said the gunman used two handguns.

NBC News’ Pete Williams reported that a U.S. official identified the gunman as Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan, who was 39 or 40.

This is horrible. Condolence to anyone who lost loved ones. The shooter Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan, who is a a mental health professional. I wonder if this could be terrorism. The DC Sniper, John Allen Muhammad, is set to be executed next week. This could be terrorism. Hopefully, the death toll will not rise. At least another person with a gun killed Hasan. More proof that gun control is a bad idea. Fort Hood is not far from Killeen, where once the deadliest mass shooting happened at a Luby’s on October 16, 1991. George Hennard attacked Luby’s and killed 23 people before he committed suicide. It was the worst mass shooting until Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 people at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007. I will keep you posted.
