#FortHood

In very sad news, there was a shooting at the Fort Hood Army complex in Texas, few days ago. And no, this is not a repeat story from last year's shooting at Fort Hood; that of course resulted in 45 people shot, 13 being killed. And unfortunately, this time, people died again. 16 people reportedly injured, 3 people killed, and the shooter now dead.



Additionally, it's being reported that the shooter was an army specialist. Federal officials saying that the army serviceman was being treated for anxiety, depression, and was under evaluation for posttraumatic stress disorder at the time of the shooting on the base.



Earlier reports are saying that the man used a .45 Smith & Wesson; at around 5 PM (local time), he walked into the building and opened fire! He then hopped into a vehicle, drove to another building, went in and opened fire again!! And finally, when the military police confronted him he turned the gun on himself.



And it's just a terrible story; just senseless violence, senseless death, once again. And obviously, there will be a conversation of guns again. But, I do believe that there's a bigger story: how the US labels, and how they deal with mental disorder, mental disease, what do they actually do with the guys they send over to Iraq once they're back? It's a sad story made even more terrible by the fact that it's not even a unique story anymore; and as of right now, they have no motive for why this shooting happened – and, once again, it's because it seems senseless. Hopefully, they'll figure out how to stop this from happening again in the future.
