11 killed in Fort Hood shootings, officials say

November 5, 2009 5:03 p.m. EST

(CNN) -- Eleven people plus an attacker were killed and 31 were wounded after a gunman opened fire at Fort Hood in Texas on Thursday, a Fort Hood spokesman said.

The gunman was a soldier, and two other soldiers have been detained as suspects, said the spokesman, Lt. Gen. Bob Cone.

Officials said they believe three gunmen were involved. At least two of the gunmen wore military uniforms, U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, said.

One of the shooters has been apprehended, Fort Hood spokesman Sgt. Maj. Jamie Posten told CNN.

"At this point we're looking for the other shooter," Posten said. Asked for a description, he said, "we're trying to develop that information."

At least two shooters were wearing military uniforms, but it was unclear whether they were soldiers, Hutchison said.

CNN is now saying the shooters were soldiers.

I heard the shooter had an Arabic-sounding name. No surprise. Muslims are in the army now.

"The victims were a mix of civilian and military, but no children were involved, officials said.

The FBI ruled out terrorism."

How can they rule out terrorism without doing a complete investigation??????

I sure would like to know WHY they did this. Did they target certain individuals? Or were the victims randomw?
