Everyone (media included) take a deep breath and let's let the authorities investigate this.

[ddeclue]

Let them investigate this instead of everyone suddenly becoming an expert on something they don't really know about:

guns
gun crimes
shooting sprees
muslims
the Army
the war
war stress
post traumatic stress
who the shooter(s) was/were
what the consequences are
etc. etc. etc.

Take a deep breath.

Stop speculating - you aren't going to reveal anything, there will be no "nirvana". You simply aren't close enough to what is going on to really know.

Out of respect - please just give it 24 hours and come back to it tomorrow. We'll know more then.

Thanks

From my other post:

Story: Fort Hood shooting: Nidal Malik Hasan 'said Muslims should rise up'
Source: The Telegraph
URL: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/6511591/Fort-Hood-shooting-Nidal-Malik-Hasan-said-Muslims-should-rise-up.html

Col Terry Lee, a retired officer who worked with him at the military base in Texas, described angry confrontations between Maj Hasan and other officers after he expressed his views.

Maj Hasan was reportedly fighting orders to be deployed to Iraq at the end of the month, claiming that he was the victim of harassment and insults because of his Arab background and his faith.

The major was a psychiatrist who had been treating soldiers returning from Iraq for post-traumatic stress and alcohol and drug abuse problems.

"He was making outlandish comments condemning our foreign policy and claimed Muslims had the right to rise up and attack Americans," Col Lee told Fox News.

"He said Muslims should stand up and fight the aggressor and that we should not be in the war in the first place." He said that Maj Hasan said he was "happy" when a US soldier was killed in an attack on a military recruitment centre in Arkansas in June. An American convert to Islam was accused of the shootings.

Col Lee said that other officers had told him that Maj Hasan had said "maybe people should strap bombs on themselves and go to Time Square" in New York.

He said he was aware that the major had been subject to "name calling" during heated arguments with other officers.

and reportedly he was under investigation for making internet postings that sympathized with suicide bombings.
