A U.S. Army official at Fort Hood confirms that a shooting has occurred at the base, though the number of people injured and the severity of their injuries has not been confirmed.

 

KCEN reports at least one person has been transported to an area hospital in an unknown condition and that possibly three others have been injured.

 

The shooting is believed to have taken place at the Medical Brigade Building. KCEN-TV reports there are also reports of victims at the Battle Simulation Center.

 

The shooter is believed to be at-large and the base is on lock down. Just after 5 p.m., the base tweeted that all personnel are being asked to shelter in place.

Meanwhile, just yesterday:

http://washingtontimes.com/news/2014/apr/1/fbi-alert-former-army-recruit-planning-fort-hood-i/

 

Federal agents are actively seeking out a former Army recruit they believe is plotting a “Fort Hood-inspired jihad against U.S. soldiers,” they said.

 

The FBI sent out an alert for a man they identified as Booker, based on statements his friends made that he was intending “to commit jihad,” Fox News reported. The suspect also goes by Muhammad Abdullah Hassan.

 

He was recruited in February into the U.S. Army in Kansas City, Mo., and was supposed to have reported for duty at basic training on April 7, agents said. But after authorities learned of his alleged jihad, they discharged him, Fox News reported. Now both the FBI and the 902nd Military Intelligence Group at Fort Leavenworth are seeking his location.

WTF kind of security is the Army providing at its bases?

I'm sure its like most other facilities where arms are not permitted to be worn.  

 

I hope there are no fatalities.

FBI, military hunt ex-Army recruit suspected of plotting 'Ft. Hood-inspired jihad'

EXCLUSIVE: The FBI is searching for a recent Army recruit believed to be planning a "Fort Hood-inspired jihad against U.S. soldiers," FoxNews.com has learned.

The alert, whose legitimacy was confirmed by military and law enforcement officials, stated that a man identified as Booker had told friends of his "intention to commit jihad." Booker, who is also known as Muhammad Abdullah Hassan, was recruited by the U.S. Army in Kansas City, Mo., in February 2014 and was scheduled to report for basic training on April 7. But he was discharged last week, apparently after law enforcement authorities learned of his alleged plan.

Both the FBI and the 902d Military Intelligence Group at Fort Leavenworth are involved in the hunt.

The alert, a copy of which was obtained by FoxNews.com, was sent out by the FBI's Kansas City Division on Friday and distributed through the U.S. Marine Corps. The portion obtained by FoxNews.com did not include Hassan's photo or age. It was also sent to the Kansas City Police Department, which could indicate authorities believe he may have remained in the area where he was recruited.

The alert is titled, “Planned Fort Hood-inspired Jihad against US Soldiers by Army Recruit” and was issued “to inform and protect officers who may encounter this individual or others exhibiting the same aspirations.” The source of the information contained in the alert was listed as “An FBI agent.”

According to the alert:

“On 20 March 2014, the Kansas City Division FBI became aware of an individual named BOOKER aka Muhammad Abdullah Hassan who had publicly stated his intention to commit jihad, bidding farewell to his friends and making comments indicating his jihad was imminent. BOOKER had been recruited by the US Army in Kansas City, Mo., in February 2014 and was scheduled to report for Basic Training on 7 April 2014. Kansas City Division Agents interviewed BOOKER on 20 March 2014.”

Marine Corps spokesman Capt. Ty Balzer confirmed the alert's legitimacy, but referred questions to the FBI. A spokeswoman with the Kansas City Division of the FBI -- the same division responsible for sending out the alert and who, according to the alert, spoke with Booker on March 20 -- said she did “not have any information to provide in regards to your inquiry.”

Law enforcement sources familiar with the alert said it appeared to suggest that there may be others in addition to Booker who also might have expressed similar intentions to commit jihad against U.S. military installations.

A military source said it appeared the bulletin was provided by the FBI, then distributed by the Marine Corps under the normal protocol of sharing any information relating to a potential threat to U.S. military installations or personnel.

A spokesman for the Kansas City recruiting station where Booker enlisted referred FoxNews.com’s questions to 902d Military Intelligence Group, which did not immediately return requests for comment.

The Fort Hood shooting, referenced in the alert, took place on Nov. 5, 2009. U.S. Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, a psychiatrist who had become a radical Muslim while serving in the military, killed 13 people and injured dozens more inside the Texas Army base. Hasan, who represented himself at a military trial after clashing with his appointed attorneys, was sentenced to death in August.

Very little, apparently. Anyone can get onto Ft. Dix from the main roads. It's where I met my sister as she returned from her deployment in Iraq. Perhaps not McGuire AFB (that's pretty well guarded), but then again, they have a wing or 2 to protect. I don't know if Ft. Dix has that big an armory. That said, the federal Stockade in Ft. Dix is very well protected. :D

Army- Recruit says he wants to kill soldiers like in Fort Hood. Let's just cut him loose.

 

FBI- YESTERDAY! We're looking for that guy that wants to pull another Fort Hood massacre.

 

Army- TODAY. Some guy is at Fort Hood, killing people.

 

So much WTF!

You guys should read the novel "Freehold". The earth military described in the beginning is getting to be awfully close to what we have today. Heck we are starting to approximate the entire planet as described in that book.

Shooter is in building 33026 which is the Medical Brigade Building.

CBS affiliate KWTX reported one death had been confirmed and 14 other people were wounded. The gunman died of a self-inflicted wound, law enforcement sources told CBS News.

Sources identified the suspect as 34-year-old soldier Ivan Lopez. A source said the violence apparently stemmed from some sort of soldier dispute.

How much shit has to happen at Ft Hood before they beef up security at that place.... jeez!  Same at Fort Dix, security is so lax!! Just wait, begining of May, there is an air show on fort dix.... they just open the gate.... can't wait for that crap (sarcasm)
