More: One attacker was Major Malik Nadal Hasan. 12 killed 31 wounded. This from a caller on Medved: If you a terrorist (lone ranger or AQ) want to get maximum bang for the buck, a military reservation is a great place to go. Why? Because of a handgun ban. Apparently the only people permitted weapons on a military base during normal ops are MPs.
One attacker was Major Malik Nadal Hasan I thought Chiêu H?i's were scouts on the front lines walking point. When did they make them officers in the military?
The dead gunman is a shrink who had been at Walter Reed and was angry about being posted to a war theater.

Yet another study in media double standards. Almost 2 minutes spent thanking people at a conference before he comments on the shooting. This guy's clueless. The MSM will disregard this callous performance. dave
At first I was wondering if by chance it was the guy who was discussed in the "Beards" thread, but once the subject's name was made public, I see it's not him. The bearded guy is a Sikh, not a Muslim. ~aj
More about what passes for armed forces MDs (commenter at HotAir): I served in the Air Force as a psychologist. I believe the way the rank works within in the medical corp is similar in the Army. If you were a medical officer, you had to try very hard to not make rank. They are not even required to go through much of the Military Education in order to make rank (a luxury other officers did not have). I had a friend who was a psychiatrist who...

It was also origionally reported that the woman who shot him was dead, but she is recopuperating in the hospital.

Kathy: "The house should definitely cancel the vote on the Obamacare bill - bet they won't." The public scrutiny is off..they can pass it, and the MSM will still be focused on boring the public to death about the shootings in Killeen.
