Nightmare at storied Fort Hood
11/5/2009 2:16 p.m.
Some 13 died and another 30 were hurt in a mass shooting on Fort Hood that stunned the nation on Thursday.
Accused gunman Maj. Malik Nidal Hasan is alive and in stable condition, Lt. Gen. Bob Cone said at a Thursday evening news conference just outside the storied military post - the largest in the United States.
(Ed. note: Some videos attached to this story were filmed while Hasan was still believed dead.)
Counter to initial reports, the 39-year-old psychiatrist - who was thought to be killed by local police - is hospitalized and not expected to die of multiple gunshots wounds sustained during the 1:30 p.m. attack. The local police officer who allegedly shot Hasan and injured him is in the hospital also in stable condition.
Cone also told reporters that Hasan was carrying one handgun and one semi-automatic weapon. But the fact that there were so many injured, apparently by one man, "counter-intuitively is concern," Cone said - spurring officials to continue their investigation to make sure they haven't missed any other shooters.
