Fort Hood Shootings Latest News: US Soldier Nidal Hasan Shoots 13 Dead

fort-hoodIN the Soldier Readiness Centre Fort Hood, Texas, 13 are shot dead and 31 are wounded. Nidal Hasan is captured. The news:

At least eight people have been shot in an Orlando, Florida, high-rise office building, CNN affiliates report.

As Chelsy say: “Here we go, now we will be getting a rash of shootings”

Woman saves: Kim Munley, a civilian police officer, is the woman who brought Hasan down by shooting him four times before he could murder more.

Woman killed: Chicago – FOX Chicago News has learned that a 21-year-old pregnant woman from the Northwest Side of Chicago was killed in the Fort Hood shooting spree Thursday.
