4. Reports today say "friendly fire" cannot be ruled out
meaning people on base shooting AT the shooter may have hit soldiers.
Reports on various news pages still confusing.

5. Or people shooting at people shooting at the gunman.
Which may be how a gunman was reported dead, yet THE gunman is alive.

8. Here are a few.
# after everything that has happened today, the shooter is still alive!! i also dont believe it was only 1, there had to be 2about 14 hours ago from web

i cant believe they let the 2 suspects go, all day the news was saying there were 3 possible shooters and they drop 2 suspects!!??

# a soldier i treated here said he was waiting in line @ SRP when another soldier stood up and started shooting about 18 hours ago from web

cant twitpic anything thats going on right now, otherwise i WOULD!

# i see swat outside 1 side of the building, and HUMVEEs on another with soldiers in full gearabout 20 hours ago from web
# my soldiers are doing well, still on lockdown, cell phone usage is restricted per LTG Cone here on fort hood. when will the nightmare end?about 20 hours ago from web
# wow..... umm the entire FORT HOOD just restricted all CELL PHONE usage, unless its govt authorized... twolla @ me yall...

# this is ridiculous, how are the numbers increasing in death and wounded on fort hood ?about 20 hours ago from web

suspect had maybe a 9mm and got @ least 4 magazines off
___________________________________________________________________________________________

Those were the ones of interest to me. Others described the fear, the lockdown and the condition of the tweeter.

Lowest ones are the oldest.
