MSNBC is reporting a shooting at Ft. Hood. 7 are dead, 12 are injured. One person captured, one on the loose. Supposedly, the shooters wore military uniforms. The PX is surrounded.

This is just to hard to wrap my mind around. A Dr.? On our own soil?

Yesterday right before this story broke, there was a murder-suicide here. We never have anything like that here. A man killed his wife and 9 yr. old son. Then killed himself. We've had, until yesterday, one murder in 30 plus years here.

My prayers go out to all at Fort Hood.

Two women in this tragic shooting stick in my mind. One, the 21 y/o who was pregnant and had just left Iraq to go back home on maternity leave, and the other, the civilian security officer who put her skills to work and kept the shooter from killing even more people. Both of these women were trained in combat, both gave much for their country, one gave all...when she should have been safe at home. RIP
