Shooter Alive, in Custody

Army had said Nidal Malik Hasan was killed after spree

Share

(AP) – A US Army spokesman says the suspect in today's shootings at Fort Hood, Texas, is alive and was not killed by authorities responding to the attack. Lt. Gen. Bob Cone also says the death toll from the attack remains 12 after another victim died.

Authorities said immediately after today's attack that they had killed the suspected shooter, named as Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, 39. But Cone now says the suspected shooter is alive and in stable condition. Cone offered little explanation to reporters at a news conference as to why the suspect was believed dead, saying only there was confusion at the hospital.

Military officials say the suspected shooter at Fort Hood, Texas, is Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.

i'm sure he hoped he'd be killed to, but instead he'll have to face trial and carry the deaths of 12 people on his conscience for the rest of his life, in prison. a much more fitting punishment. though i have some sympathy for him and the conditions he was facing that pushed him to snap. with the pressure our military is under with these relentless deployments, i am surprised this hasnt happened more often.

well armywife..I do have to admit YOU are a much more civilized and better person than I am...and obviously less prone to emotional reactivity...because If I was able to determine punishment it would be cruel, inhumane and barbaric...so it's probably a good thing I am not in that position :)
