Live coverage

EDIT: I believe the death toll has risen to 12

12 dead and 31 injured they know of.
The death toll could increase.

One of the shooters have been identified as Major Malik Nadal Hasan.

He's a Muslim convert, hence the first name Malik and his (I would assume) Spanish last name Nadal.

Latest figures is 12 dead, 32 wounded, also one gunman dead and two other "suspects" in custody..

I asked as a mod not to go down the religion route until it's confirmed as too many people jump on that bandwagon, I thank members for currently respecting that request until it is confirmed either way as to it's relevance or not.

I really wish/hope he isn't Muslim because the American/World media will have a field day and it will more than likely to infuriate Americans more than ever.

Let's just hope it gives more support for bringing troops home so there's no more need for this stress/trauma etc.

I think if it is a terrorist attack, they might want to whitewash it.

Re: 'Twelve shot dead' at US army base
 

Something though doesn't add up, he's a Major (so obviously spent quite a bit of time in the army) and he's a mental health professional. Sounds to me that there's more chance that he's cracked up and gone on the usual American with a gun spree than it being political..

Probably. It takes a long time to get to Major. Probably gone postal... (and not British postal... that's just on strike lol)
