- Orlando, Nov 7 (THAINDIAN NEWS) There have been 13 deaths so far in the Fort Hood shooting spree, and dozens were injured in it. The officials haven’t disclosed the full list of victims but some names are being talked about on the Internet.
Today in an address, the US President Barack Obama also condoled the deaths of those killed in the attack. US President Barack Obama extended his heart-felt condolences to the kin and kith of the soldiers injured or killed in the tragic Fort Hood shooting spree by Major Nidal Malik Hasan.
He condemned the act of violence because it hurt the patriotic Americans who were shamelessly killed or injured without any rhyme or reason. He said that it hurted all the more, because the incident happened on American soil, which the soldier’s call their ‘home’ and not on a hostile territory, where danger to life could be expected.
A grief-counseling center was also set up on Friday at the Killeen Community Center to give solace to all the affected people who are in a state of trauma, after this tragic shooting spree.
Matthew Cook has also been shot, Cook is from New York State and has been home from Iraq for about a year. “He’s been shot in the abdomen and that’s all we know,” Jamie Casteel told The Associated Press.
Amber Bahr, 19, was shot in the stomach but was in stable condition, said her mother, Lisa Pfund of Random Lake, Wis. Ashley Saucedo told WOOD-TV in Michigan that her husband was shot in the arm, but she didn’t know other details.
Peggy McCarty said that,” her daughter, Specialist Keara Bono, 21, of the Army Reserve, called her from a hospital and said she had been shot in the back, according to CNN. She had arrived at Fort Hood a day earlier and was scheduled to deploy to Iraq.”
