Fort Hood Military Post / Base

I have a daughter down there on the military base. She is fine. They were on lock down till almost 10 pm.

You will hear the words military post and military base. I can tell you that it is the same thing. I believe this Major has killed 12 people and 31 were injured or wounded. I am glad that the post MP's were able to keep him from harming others by shooting him before he had time to flee.

The fact that his name is of middle eastern I am sure that there will be some who will now want to take revenge on those of the muslim faith. I hope that the local police and the MP's are ready to stop that from happening.

My heart goes out to the families of those who were killed. I am hoping that this Major pays dearly for the lives he took and attempted to take.
