Attack at Fort Hood: 12 Dead After Fort Hood Shooting, What’s Next?


The attack at Fort Hood is scary. The Fort Hood shooting and Fort Hood attack are horrendous, as 12 Fort Hood residents are dead.  The body count for the attack at Fort Hood and Fort Hood Shooting could be rising.

Today, at least 2 suspects stormed the Fort Hood military base near Austin, Texas.  Fort Hood is home to over 4,000 active duty officers and over 40,000 enlisted military professionals.  Fort Hood also employs about 9,000 civilians.  At least one of the gunmen have been killed.

After the Fort Hood attack, you have to wonder what is next.  Was the attack orchestrated by soldiers fed up with the system, or worse yet – someone that wanted American soldiers dead?  Our questions about the Fort Hood attack have yet to be answered, and many are searching frantically for the newest Fort Hood updates.

The FBI is en route to Fort Hood to help with the investigation.  This factoid is raising a lot of eyebrows, as typically the FBI tries to stay out of military investigations.

The attack at Fort Hood leaves many people questioning: what’s next?  Military bases are supposed to be the safest places in the United States.  Incidences like the Fort Hood shooting should never take place at a military base.

Our hearts go out to the victims of the Fort Hood shootings and the attack at Fort Hood.  Although there is no logical explanation for what happened, hopefully the media will be able to inform concerned citizens about what happened at Fort Hood.

Fort Hood Shooting: A Bad Shooting in Fort Hood, Texas Kills Several


The Fort Hood shooting is breaking news. The Fort Hood shooting is scary. The Fort Hood shooting happened in Fort Hood, Texas military base leaving several dead and many more injured.

Fort Hood is a military base that houses 4,929 active duty officers and 45,414 enlisted military professionals.  The Fort Hood Base also employs nearly 9,000 civilians.

Never have we seen such an attack at a military base.  So far, one gunman is in custody and a second is on the loose.  It is unknown at this time whether the injured and killed are military or civilian.

The Fort Hood shooting took place near the soldier readiness facility, where soldiers go up to 60 days before they are deployed to begin rounds of various vaccinations and medical tests.

A nurse at the hospital where those injured were taken told reporters that all the victims thus far at her hospital have been military.

This is not the first Fort Hood shooting.  In 2009, a 21 year old soldier killed his lieutenant and then killed himself.  Today’s Fort Hood shooting is a heinous act that claimed the lives of many Americans.

Currently, the FBI is en route to Fort Hood to help with the investigation.  The suspects were wearing Army fatigues, but Fort Hood officials have not indicated whether the suspects are military professionals.

Repeat deployments and battle stress have taken a toll on many soldiers, according to Fox News. A record high suicide rate has been experienced in recent times.
