My Daughters MIL works there, and they have not heard from her and they can't get ahold of her either.

Possible suspect at the Dollar General Store, mobilizing swat teams.

I'm hearing 3 gunman - 1 in custody....7 dead, 20 wounded...shooting began @ 1:30...now saying 2 shooters again....news guys saying they heard 30 wounded but army reporting 20 wounded...numbers are fluctuating.

this is crazy! I'm sick to my stomach again.

Maybe I turned the scanner off too soon. I did not think it would be an off post situation also. Am I wrong that there are off post calls of suspicious people in army uniform as well? Please advise!

Sounds like officers are searching close by, looking for the weapon.

I've heard civilian LE off base was shot. So it does appear that the community on the outside is affected.

shooting began minutes before a graduation ceremony was to begin at a base sports complex, Pentagon officials said

In town or on the base?

Now I have to wonder just how large scale this is! There is no way for them to even know how many shooters are involved unless the captured one talks.
