NBC: 7 dead, 20 injured in Fort Hood shooting

SWAT teams battle at least one gunman on the military base

At least seven people are dead and 20 wounded in a mass shooting Thursday at Fort Hood, Texas, and at least one suspect is believed to be holed up in a building and shooting at SWAT team members, NBC News and affiliate KCEN reported.

It was unknown whether the victims were all soldiers or civilians at Fort Hood, one of the largest military complexes in the world.

One gunman was reportedly in custody and another was on the loose, NBC News said. A third shooter may be involved, according to NBC News affiliate KCEN in Waco, which said the person was holed up in building 42006 on the base and had opened fire on SWAT team members. KCEN quoted a source as saying the shooter had a high-powered rifle.

KCEN reported that a policeman was among those shot.

Temple ISD is on a "soft" lockdown. Parents will be able to pick their children up at the normal times, though they may experience delays.

aperiozar: LOL!!! That was awesome!
Thank you for taking the time to write that. It was immensely entertaining for a lot of people here when I read it aloud (of course I did use a funny liberal voice, but who knows, you might really speak that way as well).
You dovetail so perfectly with the liberal stereotype, you have us arguing over whether you're a real person, or someone's idea of a joke, like a characiture of a liberal.
If you have the time, could you check out some of my other clips and comment on them as well? I would be eternally grateful. Thanks!

It's a daycare center.

Who did you read my comments to? The local KKK meeting?

You are a typical example of the pathetic, closed-minded type of creature one finds in the American Right.

In the rest of work you are seen for what you are: Right wing nutcases.

Nothing will lead to a faster end to any leadership role America could ever hope to play in the world again than another couple of right wing presidents.

As things stand, few people outside America have any respect for the US. George W Bush made sure of that.

aperiozar, I'm sorry to break this news to you, but the KKK are socialists. Socialism is a far left-wing system. I wouldn't be caught dead with a racist lefty group of people such as that.

Since you brought up the KKK, did you catch any of the clips regarding Margaret Sanger (Planned Parenthood founder and darling of the left) and her KKK rallys? You can read all about them here: http://bit.ly/1nXiNg

I think it was your precious Senator Robert Byrd who filibustered civil rights legislation for 14 hours in 1964. It was among the longest in Senate history! The civil rights bills that later passed assuring blacks their equal rights could not have passed were it not for the strong support of the Republican Party.

I have no particular preferences for any American political party. All I am concerned with is to rid the world of American warmongering.

Just look at this long list of countries that have been invaded unilaterally by the US since WW2. http://bit.ly/34rMUt

Then have a moment's silence for the countless civilians that were killed in all these attacks. Attacks that were nothing but organised gangsterism - state funded terror.

aperiozar, it seems that your best source for evidence of US warmongering is someone's blog. Surely you can do better than that, or are you prone to believing whatever you find on the internet?

by aperiozar on 11-8-2009 5:19 PM

That information can be verified one by one. If you have doubts about any particular country on that list, that according to you was never invaded by the US, then let us see your facts.

by aperiozar on 11-8-2009 5:20 PM

And no, I am not prone to believe anything I find on the Internet. I don't believe you, do I?

aperiozar, if you want to be taken seriously, you'll provide reputable sources for the things you claim to be fact. You can't expect everyone else to prove that everything you say is wrong (that's lazy and a little pathetic), it's up to you to prove your claims are true.

If you decide to ramble on with more unsourced claims, go for it. I won't delete your comments, but I'll likely not read because I've grown tired of responding to you.

What a lame response. It sounds like you spent some time with George W Bush dear....
