Another Shooting At Fort Hood
— Ace

"Shelter in place," residents are advised.

An early description just came over the transom: White male armed with a .45, gray Toyota. As you know, these early reports are almost always wrong.

I have no idea if this is connected at all, but authorities have been searching for an ex-army recruit who revealed a desire to commit a Fort Hood-style attack against US servicemen.

It could be that he chose to do so at Fort Hood.

But there is no evidence, apart from the coincidence in timing, to link these stories.

Update: Commenters are telling me the Booker guy, who was wanted in connection with a possible plot to stage a Fort Hood style shooting, was caught yesterday and is in a mental health facility.

One quotes this report:

John Thomas Booker, 19, of Topeka, Kan. enlisted in the Army in February and was due to report for basic training on April 7. But the FBI interviewed him in March and alerted the Army, which formally discharged him last week. He is now in an undisclosed mental health facility, sources told FoxNews.com.

My Pet Jawa links a similar report.

However, on the live feed from KCEN below, they keep saying that guy is still wanted.

More details about Booker here.

“On 20 March 2014, the Kansas City Division FBI became aware of an individual named BOOKER aka Muhammad Abdullah Hassan who had publicly stated his intention to commit jihad, bidding farewell to his friends and making comments indicating his jihad was imminent. BOOKER had been recruited by the US Army in Kansas City, Mo., in February 2014 and was scheduled to report for Basic Training on 7 April 2014. Kansas City Division Agents interviewed BOOKER on 20 March 2014.”

Again, while KCEN is also noting the coincidence of timing, they too are saying there is no reason, apart from timing, to connect Booker to this shooting.

I don't know if he's in the mental hospital or not.

Maybe the KCEN people are talking about another guy that hasn't been named yet. I got the sense they meant Booker/Hassan, but I don't know that.

There are a couple of late reports:

CNN says there are two shooters. One is in custody. At least one person is dead.

21 The FBI is searching for a recent Army recruit believed to be planning a "Fort Hood-inspired jihad against U.S. soldiers," FoxNews.com has learned. The alert, whose legitimacy was confirmed by military and law enforcement officials, stated that a man identified as Booker had told friends of his "intention to commit jihad." Booker, who is also known as Muhammad Abdullah Hassan, was recruited by the U.S. Army in Kansas City, Mo., in February 2014 and was scheduled to report for basic training on April 7. But he was discharged last week, apparently after law enforcement authorities learned of his alleged plan.

31 I am so disgusted and sick at heart over the useless political jerks who refuse to allow our service members to carry on base for protection.

I remember after the first mass shooting at Hood, some liberal idiot saying, "Well, of course guns are useless for self protection. Here's an army base with a whole bunch of trained people with guns all over the place, and they couldn't manage to shoot back competently at this one guy."

No words. Just boiling hot bone deep anger.

44 Going back to the wacko recruit story for a bit.

From what I remember yesterday, even though he was described as a "Recruit", it would be more correct to call him a person in Delayed Entry, waiting to be sworn into active duty, and go to basic training.

He had not yet been to Basic, and had never taken the oath for Active Duty.
This is why it took a bit to locate him.

He was sworn into Inactive Reserves at the MEPS station, then returned to his civilian life to await shipping out.

The whole story was rather poorly written, and misleading.

125 The ironic thing:  here in GA, the current law is that if you are military stationed in GA and over 21 you can legally carry concealed without a Georgia Weapons License (our term for a CC permit).  HB60, which just passed and has been sent to the governor, lowers that to age 18 with a caveat that the soldier has handgun training from the military.  But none of those guys can carry on a military base.

Female sentry. And he then killed a male sailor with the gun. A male sailor who dove in front of the female to protect her.

Of course, there has to be more to this story, because we all know from Hollyweird movies and TV that when a large muscular male tries to take something by force from a slightly built female, she always just casually hurls him into the next century with a flick of her wrist. Usually with a sarcastic quip.

That _is_ how it works in real life, right? Right?

Female sentry. And he then killed a male sailor with the gun. A male sailor who dove in front of the female to protect her.








Remember Brian Nichols? The rapist who overpowered the female bailiff in an Atlanta courthouse, used her gun to kill his trial judge and a bunch of other folks, then held a woman hostage in her apartment for a day before she was able to call the cops. Sounds familiar, yes?

Pendragon at April 02, 2014 07:06 PM (wJliR) According to Snopes, the order came from the Department of the Army in 1993, two months before Clinton took office. Dick Cheney was the Secretary of Defense. Per Snopes: A change in U.S. Army regulations issued in March 1993 (just two months after President Clinton assumed office) did affect the issue of personnel carrying firearms on military bases, but that change in regulations was issued by the Department of the Army and was not implemented by President Clinton via an executive order. Moreover, that change in regulations came about in response to a U.S. Department of Defense directive issued in February 1992, during the presidency of George H.W. Bush, and not at the sole behest of President Clinton. Additionally, that change in regulations (which applied only to the Army, not other branches of the U.S. armed forces) did not ban the carrying of weapons by soldiers on Army bases; it restricted the authorization to carry firearms to personnel engaged in law enforcement and security duties, and to personnel stationed at facilities where there was "a reasonable expectation that life or Army assets would be jeopardized if firearms were not carried": a. The authorization to carry firearms will be issued only to qualified personnel when there is a reasonable expectation that life or Department of the Army (DA) assets will be jeopardized if firearms are not carried. Evaluation of the necessity to carry a firearm will be made considering this expectation weighed against the possible consequences of accidental or indiscriminate use of firearms. b. DA personnel regularly engaged in law enforcement or security duties will be armed. c. DA personnel are authorized to carry firearms while engaged in security duties, protecting personnel and vital Government assets, or guarding prisoners.

Yup. Same with me in the 80s. I nearly got Article 15'd for having a box of 357 Mag in my wall locker once. I'd gone to the range with some other folks over the weekend and ended up with leftovers. Had a H and  W inspection first thing Monday morning. Oops.

Only thing that saved me was my receipt from the range and the fact that I had the box out in the open on the top shelf. Plus, I gave the box to the First Sergeant, who needed some ammo for his Smith.

Posted by: A. Pendragon

The MPs had guns when on duty, the civilian cops on base have been a fixture since the late 80's, maybe earlier on the larger bases.  The contracted guards started unarmed, but have been up gunning for a while.  Private Snuffy hasn't had access to arms unless specifically under arms on duty or training since, and I'm guessing here, then end of the Indian Wars in the west. 

In the 70s many officers carried private handguns - but that was on the down low.

The possession of private arms in the non-dormitory base housing -- varies.

(Dr.) Nadja West, regaled attentive listeners with stories of how women persevered through hardships, ridicule and challenges to pave the way for future generations of leaders. “I wanted to talk about today’s national theme: celebrating women of character, courage and commitment,” she said. “How tiny that is, but how appropriate that we stir a significant historical change in our military.”

To close the program after West’s motivational speech, the Live Oak Ridge Middle School Varsity Female Choir further roused the crowd by singing “Roar” by recording artist Katy Perry.




Thinking a little more weapons training might have come in helpful long about now, but hey -- fashionably inclusive!

319 Hope they get the bastards....we used to keep spare ammo and an M14 and a .45 or two in the squad bays back in the day but that's before the limp dicks took over....I think we need to make it mandatory now even if an occasional butter bar gets fragged now and then.

I think a well regulated militia is allowed to have firearms. There is some kind of document that says this.

We are not militia, we are professionals.  So, of course, there is no reason to allow us to have weapons. 

 

After all, the officers are always afraid of mutiny.

329 I wonder: what is booker aka Hassan's legal name? Did he legally change it to that Muslim name? I wouldn't be surprised if he did. But the media wouldn't want to report on that if he actually were involved. Can't allow anyone to connect it to Muslim terrorism afterall. But of course if some mental patient that wants his cock and balls chopped off wants to be called Chelsea the media will bend over backwards to call him a "she" instead of their legal name which isn't changed.

365 The North Carolina State Board of Elections has found thousands of instances of voter fraud in the state, thanks to a 28-state crosscheck of voter rolls. Initial findings suggest widespread election fraud. ** 765 voters with an exact match of first and last name, DOB and last four digits of SSN were registered in N.C. and another state and voted in N.C. and the other state in the 2012 general election. ** 35,750 voters with the same first and last name and DOB were registered in N.C. and another state and voted in both states in the 2012 general election. ** 155,692 voters with the same first and last name, DOB and last four digits of SSN were registered in N.C. and another state – and the latest date of registration or voter activity did not take place within N.C. The second point is key, as double voting is election fraud under state and federal statutes. Punishment for double voting in federal elections can include jail time.

516 No communists should be allowed to enlist. No Muslims should be allowed to enlist. Islam is a political ideology as much as it is a religion; in fact the religion is based on political basis. I argue with people about the existence of "good" Muslims all the time. Of course they exist, but they still believe in a religion which demands the conversion, enslavement, or murder of non-believers. A religion whose core message of "submission" is at 100% odds with the American ideal. Of course people manage that conflict well in life...the "good" Muslims. But I don't trust them in the military. If they want to be fully American, they will have to drop the Muslim faith...or start a Reform movement within Islam. ...and we all know how well Islam regards apostates...

532 The Active Shooter/Shelter in Place strategy has been around for years on military bases.

The logic is, if the people hunker down in their offices then the security forces won't accidentally shoot you.  And if you hunker down in your office, lock the door, turn off the lights, unplug or turn off your phone, and stay real quiet then just maybe the shooter won't find you and kill you.

*sigh*

Now if I was running the security, it would be two people at all times in each building armed.  In a shooting event they will join-up, lock all outside doors to prevent anyone from getting in, and sweep their building.  Room by room. 

Once they verify their building is clear because A The shooter was never there or B The shooter ran out.  People can come out of hiding but not leave the building at all until a general All Clear is announced on the Giant Voice system.

Then that is one less building for the security forces, which are typically not that big, to worry about.

535 I'm responding to those who are against the shelter in place advisory, as if it's a good idea to go out with one's weapon in an improvised dragnet. That sounds like a bad idea to me. MPs have armbands but citizens and regular soldiers do not. So if an MP sees a single guy with a gun outdoors, what does he do? Hopefully he challenges and doesn't shoot. But my point is that there are some situation where yeah, it's better to leave the manhunt to a coordinated group who can mutually recognize one another.

538 "475 no but seriously is it a good idea for armed men to be walking around hunting a suspect whose identity is unknown?

Posted by: ace at April 02, 2014 07:56 PM (/FnUH) Signs and counter-signs have been proposed, but actively resisted, partly because they're public and therefore easily co-opted. It *is* dangerous, the question is whether it's more dangerous than an unopposed notjob. There is no "answer" (yet), so the question will keep being argued over and over. I'd say once the territory is under the management of police/MPs/whatever, *that* is definitely not the time to go wandering. Knowing when that is, well, that's another matter. "Taking up defensive positions, armed" seems to make the most sense from a distance, but then I'm not in a house three blocks from where a bunch of kids are in a building with an active shooter. Basically there's nothing good to choose there and no safe option. You'll almost certainly regret doing or not doing something.

Ace, I'm thinking a guy who started shooting on a base full of armed soldiers wouldn't get to the point where he'd be walking around much after hitting the first person. He'd fire - and go down immediately. There wouldn't be a lengthy search.

 

As someone said earlier, there's a reason nobody walks into police stations and starts firing away.

Posted by: yankeefifth at April 02, 2014 08:07 PM (rDidD) -- I think you *both* have good points. In general employers, especially large institutions, should have emergency management plans that include active shooter exercises. Those are typically conducted in coordination with law enforcement and whatever the institution's own security happens to be. I understand the "shelter in place" notion in those cases. But it seems to me what yankeefifth is saying about having your sidearm handy when you're a trained (in firearm usage, even if not in police tactics) member of the military makes tremendous sense. It is bizarre even to me - a RINO raised in the land o' gun control - to disarm our military personnel on base.

Do the competitions require you use actual defensive pistol loads?  I'm asking because I know Cowboy Action Shooters use loads that basically are firing the rounds slightly faster than a child could throw them.  This allows the shooter to fire all super-fast without all the fuss of having your muzzle rise off target.

Ace, I have never been to a military base during a time of war where ANYONE except an individual in a uniform carried a weapon. Furthermore, EVERY military person who is challenged knows the drill: stop immediately, identify yourself by name and rank and wait motionless to be cleared. Failure to do so will likely get you planted. With regard to civilians; I have never been to a military base where civilians (outside of uniformed security guards) carried weapons unless they were going to or from a designated range. Even then, the weapon is carried in the trunk of the vehicle, not causally in the vehicle, let alone hidden or disguised.

The same should be true of any government that disrespects its citizens. The central belief and fatal conceit of the current administration is that you are incapable of running your own life, but those in power are capable of running it for you. This is the essence of big government and collectivism. He goes on to explain their accomplishments. Good piece. http://tinyurl.com/n83olqj

607 Define bizarre is the trick.

PVO used to let their pilots take their sidearms home with them.  Until one pilot got home early to find his wife in bed with someone else.  No more sidearms taken home for brave pilots defending the Rodina after that.

Or when I was SOUTHCOM working with host nation.  We had our little camp.  About 40 Americans.  With M-16s, flak jackets, helmets, and fighting positions.  But in case of attack, we were supposed to line up at the ammo shelter to get our issued magazines while hopefully the host nation soldiers on the outer perimeter defended us.

On a military post not everyone needs to be armed.  But forcing your security elements to be the only one clearing every building on a base will let the shooter run rampant longer with greater chances of them hurting more people. 

One of the easiest ways to reduce the shooter's options is to have building custodians lock all the external doors immediately upon announcement of active shooter.  Oh sure they might shoot their way into a locked building, but you definitely know where the thug is then.  And when each locked building reports they are clear, using duress words or not, then the task of hunting the mutt down gets easier.

629 Any word on if Ivan Lopez was upset about his taxes coming due, like the guy that flew his plane into the building in Austin? Or speculation that he was upset because, even in post 'don't ask, don't tell' days, he didn't feel fully accepted by male soldiers who declined his sexual advances? Or perhaps the argument stemmed from Lopez being upset about the new, ethnically unfair uniform code related to female haircuts?

641 The guys that I know, had to check out their weapon and were not issued ammo until at the range. All ammo had to be accounted for and returned. Personal firearms were checked in and had to be checked out upon leaving the base to shoot. Seems like a brilliant fucking idea - libtards and commies working toward the demise of the Country.

689 Posted by: Rob in Katy at April 02, 2014 08:30 PM (PiTBB) I had the same experience. I suspect that the reason for not getting ammo until you get to the range is so that it doesn't disappear (yes, I know; I too am shocked that theft occurs in the military) and it isn't a hazard if your in a wreck while in transit. Everyone I knew who lived on base had to check their personal weapon in/out at the armory. I had a .357 that I carried in my survival vest when we deployed on both Westpacs, and even on the ship I had to check it in and out for each hop. The only time we carried weapons and rounds on us in garrison was overseas during the Persian Excursion. Even then, no chambered rounds and the weapon(s) went with you EVERYWHERE.

696 We are very disturbed to hear about another instance of workplace violence at Ft. Hood. The President has been informed and is getting updates on his iPad via the CNN website. Over the coming days, we will work to identify the YouTube video or similar trigger that caused this tragedy. Vice President Biden will be named Sheriff of the investigation and will work with the President to draft solutions to get guns out of our schools, daycare centers and military bases... for the children and the middle class. We hope that Republicans will accept responsibility for their violent rhetoric and continued support of people who want to shoot people, however, we expect more of the same obstructionism. No matter, the President has a pen and a phone and will be calling Vladimir Putin this weekend to ask his advice and take notes on how to respond to this tragedy.

And we are going to do everything we can to make sure that the community at Fort Hood has what it needs to deal with the current situation, but also any potential aftermath.” *** Somehow it doesn't sound like he's terribly broken up about it.

733 "Having everybody on the base running around looking for an inknown armed might have been a bit crazy" That's not what anyone is saying. First of all, if the guy is shooting people, he wouldn't be able to go running around base if the people he first shot at could shoot back. But, if somehow he did manage to get though the wave of people shooting back, he'd face another crew of armed soldiers behind every door he broke down. What would you rather have to protect you if a gunman burst through your door, a stapler or a gun?

740 Let me try that again: “Any shooting is troubling. Obviously this reopens the pain of what happened at Fort Hood five years ago. We know these families. We know their incredible service to our country and the sacrifices that they make. Obviously our thoughts and prayers were — are with the entire community. And we are going to do everything we can to make sure that the community at Fort Hood has what it needs to deal with the current situation, but also any potential aftermath.” *** Somehow it doesn't sound like he's terribly broken up about it. "My mother was just diagnosed with terminal cancer." "Well, obviously, my prayers go out to her."

so, your answer is to disarm 40% of our soldiers that are deployed?

Hence the Russian names like Leon here Leon Trotsky, founder of the Red Army, after leading a failed struggle of the Left Opposition against the policies and rise of Joseph Stalin in the 1920s and the increasing role of bureaucracy in the Soviet Union, was successively removed from power in 1927, expelled from the Communist Party, and finally deported from the Soviet Union in 1929. As the head of the Fourth International, Trotsky continued in exile in Mexico to oppose the Stalinist bureaucracy in the Soviet Union

well obviously when you are eating, you can put the sidearm and rifle down.  you dont need to keep them at the ready 24/7.  but they all should be able to have one if they want.  if they dont want to carry then thats fine.  however it ISNT fine to disarm soldiers.


hate to tell you, but i bet there already is a 5% armed force on bases.


what is more of a security risk?  armed man vs unarmed soldiers or our soldiers being armed if they so choose?

832 NASA has suspended contact with Russian government representatives, citing ongoing violations of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, according to an internal letter written by a top official on Wednesday. The authenticity of the letter has been confirmed by Fox News. “This suspension includes NASA travel to Russia and visits by Russian Government representatives to NASA facilities, bilateral meetings, email, and teleconferences or videoconferences,” states the letter, which was written by Michael F. O'Brien, NASA’s associate administrator for international and interagency relations. However, ongoing activities at the International Space Station (ISS) have been exempted from the rules, as well as “multilateral meetings held outside of Russia that may include Russian participation.” There are currently two Americans onboard the ISS. ????

I was just thinking that it has been under attack for almost 30 years. As soon as Reagan was out of office, GHW started undoing everything he did, and it's been moving to the left ever since. The best we seem to manage is a slow down, but with Obongo it was like poppers and meth at the same time. The metronome is bouncing off the walls.

Meanwhile, there's plenty of money in the Navy budget for holding mandatory multihour sexual harassment and/or "diversity" training sessions approximately every 72 hours.

How fucked up is this? Posted by: Nevergiveup at April 02, 2014 09:17 PM (nzKvP) I saw that at Drudge earlier. American astronauts and Russian cosmonauts have trained together and flown together for about the last 10-15 years or so. They know each other and their families. They know they are in it together in the unforgiving space environment, and depend on each other for survival. They have developed a real professional camaraderie that transcends politics. I can't believe that anyone in NASA ordered this. It had to have come from higher up.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess (and I agree):


Most service members, in fact, the vast majority, are not actually trained with weapons to any great extent...most are support personnel with only a very basic familiarity with weapons, especially handguns.  Also, junior enlisteds can be absolute irresponsible boneheads.  As the old joke goes, you can put a private in a room with no windows, just him and two ball bearings.  Come back ten minutes later, and he will have broken one and lost the other.  So yeah, from a former NCO viewpoint, I'd be less inclined to trust them with carrying, outside of extensive training.

986 There are truisms to all bases 1. The commander of the base has the ultimate authority of who is armed on his base 2. The mission of the command comes first 3. Not all things are created equal With those stated, the primary worry of security isn't the people, it's what the base needs for the mission Things vital to national defense come first such as strategic systems, airfields, weapons depots, etc Then it goes to command and control such as comms, hqs, etc Then secure areas such as the armory, disbursing, etc Then personnel In Conus, with a basic threat level, if everyone was armed it would be a security nightmare As the threat level grows, you supplement security with aux forces so you have more weapons to bring to the game Thats why in a warzone everyone is armed, the threat is there In the military on base, it's the needs of the military not the members It sucks but it's true If it comes between saving a plane or a sailor...the sailor is dead

My parents are in excellent health at 84 each, but 84 is what it is and I am thinking about the inevitable. Fortunately, both were Roosevelt Depression babies, learned their lessons well, set themselves (no college) with a 7 figure estate and made sound financial decisions as long as I can remember. They are constantly on top of the planning process and all the bases are covered and have been for some time. We recently had a family conference call to divvy up the household furnishings, fixture, keepsakes, etc. I ended up with all of Dads' tools and the M-1 Carbine, which is all I wanted anyway. Good luck and take it as it comes.

1006 The commanding officer conducting tonight's press conference was challenged regarding allowing CCW soldiers on base to carry by a reporter who repeatedly asked about how long the MP's response time was,etc. Officer finally got pissed and told reporter he was not in favor of CCW carrying on base and he wasn't going to debate with the reporter. Response time until the end of the incident was appx.15 minutes. A female MP engaged the shooter . Shooter then pulled out a 45 from under his jacket and shot himself. He was currently being evaluated for PTSD and was taking meds for depression and anxiety. Can't wait for the anti gun mob to start up as to why anyone taking anything more than a vitamin shouldn't have a gun.

1012 "Well Bing tells me this little stunt of disarming the Military on Base was one of Clinton's first acts. Lovely." Bing is dead wrong, then. I was a Marine under Ronaldus Magnus, and only personnel assigned to an armed security watch carried weapons, and they were usually unloaded in the absence of an imminent threat (I was told "if you're locking and loading without a direct order from a commissioned officer, you'd better be bleeding" when I was on an armed watch in '84).

1013 This was hopefully mentioned before, but a typical S&W 1911 .45 has a 6 round Mag. + 1 in the pipe=7. That 10 round limit sure works, jagoffs!

1015 What we have here is history repeating itself, gun control on a military base, Fort Hood, or the Marine barracks, the results the same.  When the military commander neglects to safe guard his soldiers, his soldiers get slaughtered.  Base commander or C-in-C.  Also it looks like the incarceration and lavish money paid to the mad Major nidal didn't have much of a deterent effect, eh ?
Those that refuse to learn the lessons of history, are doomed to repeat them.  When will some body incomand figure out the obvious ?  The base comander should be charged with dereliction of duty, c-in-c if applicable.

1016 Isn't it amazing another shooting of soldiers and an imediate cover-up just like when the muslim major did it and a cover-up story immediate like after Ben Ghazi.  Same type incidents, cover stories instantly available, one might think a connection.
