Army: 7 dead in dual attacks at Fort Hood
The Army says seven people were killed and 20 wounded in a pair of
shootings at the Fort Hood Army base in Texas.

WASHINGTON  — The Army says seven people were killed and 20 wounded in a
pair of shootings at the Fort Hood Army base in Texas.

An Army spokesman at the Pentagon says the shootings began about 1:30 p.m.
Thursday at a personnel and medical processing center at Fort Hood.

The spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Nathan Banks, says two shooters were
apparently involved. There is no word yet on who they were, nor on
identities of the dead.

Banks says the second incident took place at a theater on the sprawling base.

He says it is too soon to tell whether there is any link to battle stress
or repeated deployments. The Army is suffering a record high suicide rate
and other signs of stress from fighting two wars.
