Breaking News - Fort Hood Shooting

Ladies and Gentlemen, as you may already know there has been another shooting at Fort Hood Army Base in Texas this evening. For my fellow classmates, this news came while we were in class. I find this news very disturbing and am not trying to politicize the incident but at the same time, I feel this tragic event will raise some questions about guns in the days and weeks to come. I also believe that the issue and questions may tie into my research and analyst for my blog. The incident and details are still unclear and I am waiting to hear what the press conference will disclose about the incident.

A few questions and opinions of my own came to mind upon news of the shooting tonight. Some questions I have relate to my topic at hand. Although these questions may sound premature, they may be valid and actually come into debate very soon. First off, who was the shooter and what was his background? (i.e. religious, mental state). Reports are initially saying it was a soldier on soldier incident, but nothing further. Second, what type of gun was used and how was it obtained? These reports are unknown at this time. I ask these two questions because the answers are important and will be used in the ongoing nations 'gun debate.'

After then press conference, I will try to post updates and maybe some answers to my own questions. Please pray for the injured and family members involved...
