All three gunmen are soldiers...

How do at least 3 soldiers all decide to do this together???

One I can see, but 3 is really scary.

Was it Kat and family that were going to Ft. Bliss, Texas?

So it sounds like their was only 1 shooting, at 1:30pm, and all the casualties are from that. Any confirmations on shootings later than that?

Very scary, and the fact that this started at the soldier readiness station and they were getting ready to deploy might be at the center of their motives, who knows.

 

[Hopeful One]

so they have all of the shooters in custody now? Is this confirmed?

I agree. I can even see 2 - a stretch, but I can see that, but three? They be soliders, but I have to ask why? Why were they soldiers?

If these really were our soldiers who got together and concocted this, it makes it even more sick. And frightening. If we can't trust our own, who can we trust??????

There was only one shooting incident. All at the same location. Civilian officers arrived quickly and confronted the gunman and killed him, but a civilian officer was killed as well. All the 27 injuries were at this same location.

They basically said, only one incident, 12 killed and 27 injurred.
One gunman killed and two additional POSSIBLE suspects are being detained. They're NOT sure if these other two are involved.

HTH

That is what was said at the presser, 1 shooting.

I think so. i think they left Ft hood over the summer and transferred to Ft Bliss. Hope she logs in and lets us know.
