Heard on the scanner that was posted earlier that a man with a gun and in fatigues has taken a Dollar General store and local PD has dispatched SWAT. I don't know if it is linked and cannot confirm that but definaltey sometthing to keep in mind.

They (local PD) cleared the Dollar General. No further info if there actually was a gunman or not...or if it was someone patrolling off-base.

Get real, folks.

What the hell man?

Bullets still flying and people are still posting this BS.....geez

Did you forget you are on a conspiracy website, not a 'nothing to see here people move along' website?

I think we all have our own brains and know where to go if we want the straight facts with no speculation.

Why is your post still up when it was entirely off topic?

to you

On topic CNN reporting gun and MISSILE fire...

Haha LMAO! Of course Wolf Blitzer mr. elitist scum doesn't know the difference between a Dollar General Store and on base PX. If he did he'd know Dollar General is a civilian store located off of Ft. Hood. Blitzer probably never even heard of Dollar General before today.

12 dead confirmed. Looks like it will probably up. Always does.

worse cases happen on a daily basis in other countries. and i dont see anybody crying over them. they are still human nonetheless so it doesnt mean u can sympathize for this event and not for all the daily massacres and bombings in the middle east.

dont be fickle.

And you think you are adding to this thread exactly how? Who the hell are you to assume what I or anyone else posting feel or think about bombings in the middle east. Sure you sit there at your computer acting all smug, but do *YOU* actually sympathize? Somehow I doubt it.

i never assumed ANYTHING about you. im just throwing it out there that i think its funny how ppl will IMMEDIATELY contribute to a thread that has already built 6 pages of comments, but i havent seen one thing about the recent bombings that killed 90 something ppl in the small market place in the middle east. its almost as if ppl simply care about what happens in their backyard. dont get me wrong, i do not sit here "at my computer" sympathizing over these tragic events, bc if i did so, i would be depressed 24/7. cuz this happens every - single - day. dont single out issues based on their locations.

Live Press Conference any second now.

Obama to speak on Fort hood shooting on FOX.

Awaiting Obama televised event....

I think a graduation was going on at Ft Hood today, but not sure.

And the Commanding General is speaking right now.

Oh while we are at it.............11th victim found in serial rapists house in Cleveland. Is Obama going to speak on that tragedy as well or only this military tragedy?

All shooters were soilders...OathKeepers anyone?

12 dead, 31 injured.

It isn't the 7th of October but it is close.

There are currently other threads regarding that.

This topic is about the Ft. Hood shootings. FYI.

Obama to speak @ 5pm EST. TX Gov was to speak at the same time, but seems to be on hold due to the newly erupted gunfire.

US Army Reports 12 dead / 31 wounded.

It is not the most secure base. In fact, it sounds like one of the most lax bases Ive ever heard of. All you need is a drivers license and vehicle registration to get on Ft. Hood.

And anyone can buy military clothing - including patches. So, it would be so easy to blend in, and get on base.

Also, its not the largest military base. It is the largest Army post in the United States.

As someone who grew up in Killeen, let me give you some background. It's relative laxness comes off of a time just 8 years ago following 9/11 when civilians found it nearly impossible to get onto post. There have been no plots against the US to raise levels of security so high to require anything more than proving your identity.

At each entrance, there are check-in stations where they can (and do) search your vehicle at times. If there is anything that triggers suspicion they will do it, in addition to just random searches.

I had friends who got married on Post following 9/11 and let me tell you, it was a pain in the butt just to make it to their weddings!

As far as size, Ft. Hood is the largest military base in the free world, as I can not speak for restricted nations who keep such figures under wraps.
