Fort (ft.) Hood Texas shooting CNN reports – A solider suspected of fatally shooting 12 and wounding 31 at Fort Hood in Texas on Thursday is not dead as previously reported by the military, the base’s commander said Thursday evening.
Major Nidal Malik Hasan Supected for Fort Hood Shooting
A civilian officer who was wounded in the incident shot the suspect, who is “in custody and in stable condition,” Army Lt. Gen. Robert Cone told reporters.
“Preliminary reports indicate there was a single shooter that was shot multiple times at the scene,” Cone said at a news conference. “However, he was not killed as previously reported.”
The suspect, identified as Major Nidal Malik Hasan (Malik Nadal Hasan), opened fire at a military processing center at Fort Hood around 1:30 p.m., Cone said.
Three others initially taken into custody for interviews have been released, Cone said.
Hasan, 39, is a graduate of Virginia Tech and a psychiatrist licensed in Virginia who was practicing at Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, according to military and professional records. Previously, he worked at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
A federal official said Hasan is a U.S. citizen of Jordanian descent. Military documents show that Hasan was born in Virginia and was never deployed outside the United States.
In a statement released Thursday, Hasan’s cousin, Nader Hasan, said his family is “filled with grief for the families of today’s victims.”
“Our family loves America. We are proud of our country, and saddened by today’s tragedy,” the statement said. “Because this situation is still unfolding, we have nothing else that we are able to share with you at this time.”
Hasan was scheduled to be deployed to Iraq “and appeared to be upset about that,” Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, said.
