EYEWITNESS NEWS REPORTER DARRAH WILCOX JOINS US LIVE IN THE STUDIO WITH MORE OF THE SHOCKING DETAILS. DARRAH? PATRICK... THE MAN OPENED FIRE AT FORT HOOD IN TEXAS YESTERDAY ABOUT 1-30 LOCAL TIME. IN ALL ... 13 PEOPLE WERE KILLED AND 30 WOUNDED. MAYBE THE MOST TRAGIC PART OF THE INCIDENT... THE SHOOTER WAS ONE OF THEIR OWN. HERE'S THE LATEST FROM ABC. SOLDIERS AT FORT HOOD MILITARY BASE WERE PREPARING FOR DEPLOYMENT THURSDAY AFTERNOON.. THEY WERE *NOT* PREPARED FOR A GUNMAN.. ONE OF THEIR OWN.. ARMED WITH TWO HANDGUNS.. WHO OPENED FIRE, KILLING 12 AND INJURING 31. THE VICTIMS, MOST OF THEM SOLDIERS, WERE UNARMED AND UNABLE TO DEFEND THEMSELVES. THE SHOOTING FINALLY ENDED.. WHEN A RESPONDING POLICE OFFICER SHOT AND INJURED THE GUNMAN. RUMORS OF OTHER SHOOTERS KEPT THE ENTIRE BASE ON LOCKDOWN FOR SEVERAL HOURS , INCLUDING THE COMMUNITY'S NINE SCHOOLS. Mom sot: It's really disheartening to be, you know something's going on and you cant' get to your child. THE SUSPECT, IDENTIFIED AS 39 YEAR OLD ARMY MAJOR NIDAL MALIK HASAN, IS A MILITARY PSYCHIATRIST TRAINED TO *HELP* SOLDIERS IN HIS UNIT. INITIAL REPORTS MISTAKENLY INDICATED HE HAD BEEN KILLED IN THE EXCHANGE OF GUNFIRE. Lt. Gen Robert Cone: He was not killed as previously reported, he is currently in custody and in stable condition. Obama It's difficult enough when we lose these brave Americans in battles overseas . It is horrifying that they should come under fire at an Army base on American soil. FORT HOOD'S FIRST CAVALRY DIVISION - 15,000 TROOPS - ARE SERVING IN IRAQ. THEY'VE SUFFERED THE HIGHEST CASUALTIES THERE OF ANY SINGLE MILITARY INSTALLATION IN THE COUNTRY.. BUT YESTERDAY.. THEIR CONCERNWAS FOR THOSE THEY LEFT BEHIND. Cynthia: He has to get up at 5:00 to do a mission, and he has to worry about if we're okay back here where he left us where he thought we were safe. STAND UP: HASAN REMAINS IN STABLE CONDITION AT AN AREA HOSPITAL. MUSLIM GROUPS ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE CONDEMNED WHAT HAPPENED HERE.. WHILE CALLING FOR FELLOW MUSLIMS.. TO TAKE PROTECTIVE MEASURES. DIANA ALVEAR, ABC NEWS, FORT HOOD, TEXAS. IF MAJOR HASAN IS CHARGED, HE WOULD BE PROSECUTED IN MILITARY COURT. IF CONVICTED, HE WOULD FACE THE DEATH PENALTY. REPORTING LIVE IN THE STUDIO... DARRAH WILCOX... EYEWITNESS NEWS.
