Sorry

http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/shooting-incident-fort-hood/story?id=23166944

four are confirmed dead, including the shooter, possibility of another shooter hiding on base

They are now clearing the base which has been on lockdown since it first started

Even seeing some speculation about this possibly being linked to a report about someone planning an attack that was news yesterday

With things like these it's better to just wait awhile before following it. The News spits out hundreds of "facts" quickly before they even know anything

Well, that's a bummer. Seems like they need some better base security.

If these people need to shoot someone shoot politicians not the people who protect us.

You are grossly misinformed, You are not allowed to just walk around with guns on military bases, they are considered Gun Free Zones

So how do you propose this could of been avoided? Fully search every vehicle that enters base? Why not search everyone that enters the mall then? Yes, gun free zone. However, wtf mate?

It can't be avoided in any practical way. If someone who's supposed to be on our side can't be trusted, what the fuck are you supposed to do? Crazy people are the problem and I don't know the solution.

Exactly. Yes, the gun killed those people. However, it did not act alone. Someone had to pull the trigger.
