An Army psychiatrist opened fire with two handguns at the Fort Hood Army post on Thursday, killing 12 and wounding 31 others, Army officials said, adding the suspect was shot several times but survived.
Authorities identified the suspected gunman as Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who had treated soldiers wounded in foreign wars preparing for foreign deployment at the post.
Our investigation is ongoing but preliminary reports indicate that there was a single shooter, Lieutenant-General Robert Cone, Fort Hood's commanding officer, told a news conference. The shooter is not dead but in custody in stable condition.
Cone said the suspect had been shot multiple times. He had previously said the suspect was killed by police officers during the attack at the biggest military facility in the world.
He's not currently speaking to investigators, Cone said of Hasan. Pressed on the suspect's condition, he said, I would say his death is not imminent.
