do military MPs take first response to these on base shootings, and then local /state authorities come in?

Looks like a local and a MP there on that pic

and i hope to god it isn't about gun control

Why don't you want to talk about guns? Are you afraid of them? Guns = freedom. Why do you fear freedom? Fear leads to hate, why do you hate freedom?

Why do you hate Murrica?



Oh, and in before page thirty. ^_^

I've already tried several threads about mental illness, and nobody even here really wants to talk about it. Soldiers are extremely prone to mental breakdowns...that said we have no clue what's going on here right now.

Michelle Lee, spokeswoman for the FBI in San Antonio, said the FBI had “no indication” the shooting at Fort Hood is related to a alert sent by the agency in recent days regarding an Army recruit named Muhammad Abdullah Hassan, aka 'Booker,' who was discharged in February from a Kansas City, Mo., base. An alert sent March 20 by the Kansas City FBI Division that was titled “Planned Fort Hood-inspired Jihad against US Soldiers by Army Recruit” and stated Booker had publicly stated his intent to harm soldiers, according to Fox News.

Lee, though, confirmed Booker has been deemed not to be a threat after investigators met with him.

From one of the AP reports:

After that shooting, the military tightened security at bases nationwide. Those measures included issuing security personnel long-barreled weapons

Sigh...there's a word for them things...
