HOUSTON (Reuters) – At least seven people were killed and 12 wounded in a shooting at a U.S. Army base in Fort Hood, Texas, on Thursday, local media reported.

One gunman was in custody and another was on the loose, local media reported.

One station said there was a third shooter involved.

The attack happened at the Soldier Readiness Center at Fort Hood, according to the FOX 4 television station.
The base is currently in lockdown mode, according to Fort Hood's website.

Fort Hood is halfway between Austin and Waco, about 60 miles from each city, in Texas.

I'm listening to the story on XM right now.

One berserk soldier, I can maybe see...but 2, possibly 3, all shooting simultaneously on different parts of the base?? I don't see that.

I suspect something else is going on...

The gunman was MAJ Malik Nadal Hasam, a doctor specializing in psychological disorders and this would have been his 5th deployment. Also was a muslim convert.
