Fort Hood, Nov 6: Fort Hood shooter who infamously shot 13 people and injured dozens apparently shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ before starting his shooting spree.
‘The thirty-nine year old devout Muslim gunman, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, shouted the phrase ‘Allahu Akbar” which is Arabic for “God is great!” just before he began his shooting spree at Fort Hood military installation yesterday’, according to the base commander, Lieutenant General Robert Cone.
Contrary to initial reports, the heartless shooter is alive but has not yet been investigated yet by the police and army officers, as he is on a ventilator. “He is in a stable condition,” an army medical spokesman said.
However the same can’t be said about his victims. Some of the victims were shot multiple times, and out of the 10 injured victims, 6 were in critical state and were taken straight to the ICU for treatment and monitoring.
Internal shooting at a place that the soldiers call ‘home’ has shaken many. “I’m pretty shocked and bewildered,” Spc. Eric Blohm said, “Going to war and experiencing combat overseas and then … to have your sense of security shattered, that’s just kind of unreal.” “I thought I was more worried about my daughter going over to Iraq than here, just doing training in Texas. She just got there yesterday,” said McCarty, mother of a solider.
