The Fort Hood shooting appears to be over, with the shooter reportedly dead of a self-inflicted wound and according to the latest CNN update, three other people dead, and as many as 14 others injured, some in critical condition. Reports of a second shooter are so far unconfirmed. CNN also reports that the name of the shooter is 34 year old Ivan Lopez. The shooting is also said to not be terrorism-related, but instead a "solider on solider" attack.

The official statement by Fort Hood:

Shooting incident at Fort Hood

 

UPDATE: Fort Hood's Directorate of Emergency Services has an initial report that a shooter is dead but this is unconfirmed.

 

The injured personnel are being transported to Carl R. Darnall Medical Center and other local hospitals. Numerous law enforcement agencies are in support and on the scene. The number of injured are not confirmed at this time. No further details are known at this time.

 

The post is currently still on lock down.

 

FORT HOOD, Texas -- There has been a shooting at Fort Hood and injuries are reported. Emergency crews are on the scene. No further details are known at this time.

 

As further details are available, they will be released through FortHoodPressCenter.com.

Obama was at a fundraiser when the shooting happened. He promptly provided several soundbites:

  • PRESIDENT OBAMA SAYS HE SPOKE WITH JOINT CHIEFS ABOUT FORT HOOD
  • OBAMA `HEARTBROKEN THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENED AGAIN
  • OBAMA SAYS SHOOTING `REOPENS THE PAIN' OF INCIDENT 5 YEARS AGO
  • OBAMA VOWS FULL INVESTIGATION INTO FORT HOOD SHOOTING

Full statement courtesy of BNO News:

I just got off the phone with the vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff to get the latest on the shooting at fort hood. Obviously, we’re all following it closely. The situation is fluid right now, but my national security team in close contact not just with Defense Department but with the FBI. They are working with folks on ground to determine exactly what happened and ensure that everyone is secure. Want to assure all of us we going to get to bottom of what happened. Any shooting is troubling. Obviously this reopened pain of what happened at Fort Hoo 5 years ago. We know these familes, we know the service to their country and the sacrifices that they make. Obviously our thoughts and prayers are with the entire community and we are going to do everything we can to make the community of fort hood has what it needs to deal with a tough situation but also any potential aftermath. We’re heartbroken that something like this might have happened again. I don’t what on the comment on facts until we know exactly what happened. But just for now I would hope that everyone across the country keep the families of Fort Hood in our thoughts and our prayers. The folks there have sacrificed so much on behalf of our freedom. Many of the people there have been on multiple tours of Iraq and Afghanistan, they served with valor, they served with distinction. At their home base they need to feel safe. We don’t yet know what happened tonight but obviously that sense of safety has been broken once again. We need to find out exactly what happened.

And last but not least, Obama promises that he will shortly get to the bottom of this.

Duh, ever think about giving our soldiers the ability to PROTECT themselves?  Nah, that's too easy.  If you arm them all, you might end up having a shooting on base or something.

"Duh, ever think about giving our soldiers the ability to PROTECT themselves?  Nah, that's too easy.  If you arm them all, you might end up having a shooting on base or something."

Do you mean like in Israel - where soldiers carry their weapons with them at all times - on base and off?

That's crazy talk that will get you branded as a Zionist by the likes of sawyer, et. al.

This is what happens when you make military bases gun free zones, for fuck's sake.

My sympathies with the victims, every one of which qualified to shoot back in basic and was denied the ability to do so.

With all due respect.  I served in the army in Nuremburg during the discotech bombings in 86 and 87 and we were on curfew and the whole works and we still didn't get live ammo, even though you could say we were on high alert.  Additionally you didn't even see your rifle when you weren't "employed", it is in the armory with all the other rifles.  Even the guards at the face of the buildings didn't get live ammo.  We often questioned and laughed at this notion. But here's the thing....if you ever lived with half of the fucking psychopathic or dumbass people in the military you would understand the policy.  Sleep with one eye open....and not for the enemy.

 

That being said, Nowadays I always look for the false flag first.  The clues will come in the days that follow.

Someone has to say this.

If you're going to pull another false flag in order to motivate, urge on, coerce the public into something you need them to do... then why the fuck would they pull the same stunt in the same exact place they did it before the last time?...

I could say the same thing for the Malaysian flt 370 that is still missing? 

At the rate they are going and as absolutely brain dead fucking stupid as they already have shown themselves to be on this subject countless times, maybe they will dig a 50 foot by 20 foot trench in Shanksville PA and tell us tomorrow that they just now found the wreckage!!!

Why the hell not?

Same stunt repeated - like school shootings? Gotta keep repeating until enough peeps are made angry/fearful and resort to government solutions because its just too hard to critically evaluate the real causes and media moves us quickly to the next fearful issue muddling our little minds. I just wanna a 30second sound bite telling me its fixed so I can get back to my tv.

In over 50 years of paying attention to news, I cannot recall an incident like this prior to the first shooting at Fort Hood. That includes the Vietnam conflict. I haven't heard stories of it from any previous era either. Now it is 2 at same place.  Does this happen at military bases of other countries? This smells as fishy as hell........

What the eff is going on at that base?

It seems it can't be the 'guns' - there have always been guns on milatary bases one would assume. Is this a psyops base or something? The first guy was a muslim,

Ivan Lopez.......a Russian, Mexican, muslim? And, conveniently self inflicted wound so can't be questioned.

Stuff is out of control.

And the plan for this was discussed in the media yesterday.  FBI was looking for a recruit named Muhammad Abdullah Hassan.  Strange they were wary of the very thing that happened and the shooter is dead, will tell no tales.

I'm sure that the house republican's secret plan for amnesty that they are sticking in the next defense bill will solve these problems.

Illegals get amnesty by serving in the military.
