I am not sure why, but part of me really hopes these guys were not soldiers.
Just heard the gunmen were soldiers on CNN from a Ft. Hood spokesman.
One of the suspected gunmen (if there was more than one - two other soldiers are in custody as "suspects") is identified by ABC News as Major Malik Nadal Hasan.

CNN is now saying that the shooter was Maj. Maliq Nadal Hassan. Spelling is just a guess.
At least 12 dead and 31 wounded
One of my former medics emailed me and asked,
I replied,"How can you shoot your fellow brothers.......... I am lost for words sir."
That's about all we can do at this point until it's all sorted out."I don't know brother. As I studied the female suicide bombers from Diyala, the emotions of hate, anger, and revenge overtook rational thought, and they just wanted to kill themselves and take as many with them as they could. All we can do right now is take a knee and pray."
NBC evening news just reported he was not only a an officer but he was a Doctor
He was a psychiatrist.
From one of my FSOs,
He is an army psychiatrist. my wife worked for him on the mental health floor at darnell medical center on post.
