Shooting at US Army's Fort Hood base in Texas

shooting incident has been reported at the Texas
Army base that was the site of a gun rampage in
2009 that left 13 soldiers dead and another 32
wounded.
A shelter in place order was issued for the Fort
Hood military base, US media reported.
The shooting is said to have occurred at the Carl R
Darnall Army Medical Center, located on the base.
Emergency crews are at the scene, with a number
of injuries reported.

'Active situation'

The 1st Cavalry Division, based at Fort Hood, sent a
Twitter alert telling people to close doors and stay
away from windows.
FBI press officer Michelle Lee told the BBC the
agency and local police had responded to the report
of a shooting, but did not have any information on
how many people may have been shot.
"We are treating this as an active situation," she
said.
Fort Hood's Directorate of Emergency Services told
US media it had received reports, though
unconfirmed, that the gunman was dead.
An unconfirmed number of people with injuries are
being transported to area hospitals.
US President Barack Obama has been briefed on
the matter, a White House spokesman said.
Maj Nidal Hasan was sentenced to death last
September over the 2009 shooting rampage at the
same facility.
He claimed he opened fire at the army base to
protect Taliban insurgents from US troops who
were about to deploy to Afghanistan.
It was the deadliest attack on a domestic military
installation in US history.
