Good Grief! Not again...

Wasn't the FBI looking for someone threatening this yesterday?

Yep. My SIL just bought a new but, of course he wouldn't be able to carry on post.

I'm hearing about two shooters.

Obviously, the information that's coming in can't be relied upon.

Is this the same fort that had the shooter who killed almost 20 people a few years back?

this is not a laughing matter, but. Do you know how big Texas is? Ft Hood is bigger than most small towns.

Guns are in every state, situations like this aren't exclusive to Texas.

CNN just reported the shooter is dead.

Yep. Sure is.

One has to wonder what's going on in the military that such incidents are happening more frequently. Pretty soon, these incidents are going to be as common as school shootings, even if they are still shocking each time they happen.

Didn't something similar happen on a base or installation in San Diego last year or a couple of years ago? Is California off limits too?

I don't recall suggesting this is exclusive to Texas. However, the gun violence in TX is not to my liking..

You may not be laughing but your comment was laughable.

Well, the last one was a jihad thing and yesterday the FBI was looking for another guy who was threatening the same. We'll see how this pans out.

You may be thinking of the Navy yard in Washington DC.

Let's hope it's not another "workplace violence" incident.
