星岛环球网消息：环球网报道，美国德克萨斯州福德胡特陆军基地枪击事件嫌疑人哈桑，此前报道称他被当场击毙，但基地指挥官罗伯特-康恩在发布会证实称，枪手受伤但仍然活着，目前被拘留。
目前袭击事件中，最新数字为12人死亡，31人受伤
Emergency Services officials at Fort Hood said the incident began about 1:30 p.m. CT (2:30 p.m. ET) when the gunman opened fire in the Soldiers Readiness Processing Center on the west side of the base. A spokesman for the base, Sgt. Major Jamie Posten, said the processing center was where soldiers "cycle through as they prepare to deploy."Retired Army Col. Greg Schannep, an aide to Rep. John Carter, R-Texas, who was on the post to attend a graduation service, told the Fort Hood Sentinel that he heard "three or four volleys of shots, with eight to 12 shots in each volley."
"Initially, I thought it was a training exercise," he said. But then, "a soldier came running past me and said, 'Sir, there is someone shooting.'
"As he ran past me, I saw blood on his back," Schannep told the base paper. "I don't think he even knew he had been shot."
The sprawling Fort Hood complex is home to at least 4,929 active-duty officers and 45,414 enlisted. Civilian employees total nearly 9,000.
A spokesman for the Army, Lt. Col. Lee M. Packnett, said he was unaware whether security measures were put in place at other military bases. Other U.S. military bases told local NBC stations that said the shootings were being treated as an isolated incident and that no special security measures were being implemented in response.

Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson, R-Texas, said in a statement: "I am shocked and saddened by today's outburst of violence at Fort Hood that has cost seven of our brave service members their lives and has gravely injured others. My heart goes out to their loved ones."Texas Gov. Rick Perry's campaign spokesperson said the governor was in Denton, scheduled to attend a campaign event, when word of the shooting occurred. There was no word on whether he had left Denton or whether he was headed to Fort Hood.
Fort Hood has seen other violence in recent years. In September 2008, a 21-year-old 1st Cavalry Division soldier shot his lieutenant to death and then killed himself. Spec. Jody Michael Wirawan of Eagle River, Alaska, shot himself to death after killing 1st Lt. Robert Bartlett Fletcher, 24, of Jensen Beach, Fla.

News8Austin Lt. Gen. Cone originally said that suspect had been killed...only to say some 3 hours later, that the suspect is alive.
An Army psychiatrist opened fire Thursday at Fort Hood, Texas, killing 12 people and wounding 31 others, before being shot and captured, military officials said.
The gunman, identified as Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, was wounded multiple times at the scene but was captured alive and was in stable condition, Lt. Gen. Robert W. Cone, commanding general of the Army's III Corps, said at a press conference late Thursday.
Eleven of the victims died at the scene, military officials said. A 12th died later at a hospital, NBC station KCEN-TV of Waco reported. Cone said that most of those who were shot were military but two were civilians.
Cone also said that a female first responder shot Hasan and was herself wounded and was being treated in a hospital. Cone said that Hasan was in custody at a hospital and that his death was not imminent.
It initially was reported that Hasan had been killed at the scene. But Cone said at the press conference that Hasan had been in custody since the incident occurred, and there was no explanation of how the earlier report arose.
U.S. officials said Hasan was an Army psychiatrist who had been promoted to major in May, NBC News reported. Defense officials said Hasan, 39, arrived at Fort Hood in July after practicing for six years at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, which included a fellowship in disaster and preventive psychiatry.
Hasan was scheduled to be deployed to Iraq on Nov. 28, officials said. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, said military officials had told her that Hasan was "pretty upset" about his deployment orders.
The Associated Press, quoting federal law enforcement officials, said Hasan had come to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats. The officials said they were still trying to confirm that he was the author.
One of the Web postings that authorities reviewed is a blog item that equates suicide bombers with a soldier throwing himself on a grenade to save the lives of his comrades. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case.
Medical records on file in Virginia, where Hasan was born and was registered to practice, and Maryland, where he received his medical degree at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, revealed no disciplinary actions or formal complaints.
Cone said the gunman used two handguns. He said that military officials believed that there was a single shooter.
Two other soldiers were taken into custody after the shooting, but Rep. John Carter, R-Texas, said they were released.
A senior administration official told NBC News that the shootings could have been a criminal matter rather than a terrorism-related attack and that there was no intelligence to suggest a plot against Fort Hood.
Military and local hospital officials said the victims were a mixture of men and women, military and civilian. At least four local SWAT officers were among those wounded, KCEN reported.
'They shot me!'
Among the wounded was Pfc. Keara Bono, 21, of Independence, Mo., who was shot in the shoulder. She called her mother, Peggy McCarty, to let her know she would be OK.Bono, who works with soldiers dealing with stress, arrived in Fort Hood only Wednesday from her previous posting in Topeka, Kan., NBC station KSN-TV of Wichita, Kan., reported. Her brother, Dustin, told the Kansas City Star that Bono was "mad more than anything."
"They shot me! And I'm still here in this country!" Dustin Bono quoted his sister as saying.
Robin Geiser of Random Lake, Wis., said her 24-year-old son, who commands soldiers at Fort Hood, knew some of the victims. He had been scheduled to be in the readiness center Thursday ahead of his deployment in January, but he was spared because his day's orders were changed and he was on the training ground, instead, Geiser said.
Fort Hood has set up a hotline for relatives of soldiers at the base to call for more information. The numbers, which are for family members only, are 254-288-7570 and 866-836 2751.
Relatives can also register and search on the Red Cross' Safe and Well site to find out more.
"I was terrified come January," Geiser told NBC station WTMJ-TV of Milwaukee. "I'm doubly worried now. If you can't be safe here ...."
Geiser said that in conversations with her son, he told her that "there's a lot of anger in a lot of these soldiers."
"Who knows what it stems from?" she asked.
Reminders of 1991 massacre
Fort Hood, one of the largest military complexes in the world, was put on lockdown until about 7 p.m. ET, as were schools in the area. Dozens of agents of the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives responded to the post, federal officials said.

"Unfortunately, this is a day we had dreaded," said Hilary Shine, a spokeswoman for the city of Killeen. "Every time you hear of a mass casualty situation in Killeen, you think of Luby's. ...
"Here in City Hall, it's panic," Shine said. "We all have friends and family members who work or have business on Fort Hood."
Speaking in Washington, President Barack Obama called the shootings a "horrific outburst."
"It's difficult enough when we lose these great Americans in battles overseas," Obama said at the Interior Department. "It's horrifying that they should come under fire at an Army base on American soil."
Noting the Arabic nature of the gunman's name, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington interest group, condemned "this cowardly attack in the strongest terms possible and ask that the perpetrators be punished to the full extent of the law."
"No political or religious ideology could ever justify or excuse such wanton and indiscriminate violence," the council said in a statement. "The attack was particularly heinous in that it targeted the all-volunteer army that protects our nation. American Muslims stand with our fellow citizens in offering both prayers for the victims and

星岛环球网 www.stnn.cc2009-11-06美国时间11月5日下午，美国陆军得克萨斯州胡德堡基地(FortHood)发生枪击事件，目前已造成12人死亡31人受伤。袭击者是美军士兵，有3人，其中1人已被击毙，另有两人被逮捕。美国总统奥巴马称这是一次"恐怖暴力的大爆发"事件。中国日报网记者就此事件连线采访了中国人民大学国际关系学院美国研究中心主任时殷弘。
时殷弘教授表示，美军在越南战争、伊拉克战争中也曾因士气低落而发生枪击事件，而此次美军枪击事件的发生虽是"个案"，是偶然性事件，但这背后也透露出了事件发生的"必然性"。
第一，美军所存在的问题，因为海外战争的失败，毫无疑问近年来的形势也越来越坏。伊拉克表面上看起来安定，但实际上却存在很多安全隐患，爆炸事件时有发生，这对驻伊拉克美军的士气有着很大影响。而据媒体报道称，胡德堡军事基地枪击案袭击者之一的美军少校也即将被派遣到伊拉克。
第二，美军士兵的低收入问题已存在好几年了。美国党派政治与军队的构成已经发生了严重的问题，使得美军面临的情况更加复杂。美军中种族结构也有变化，非洲裔士兵在部队中的人数超过了美国白人士兵。这也反映了美国社会相当尖锐的阶层差异和阶级差别。
时殷弘教授还提到，也许美军堪称世界上效率最高的军队之一，但另一方面，位于古巴的关塔那摩监狱也暴露出，美军的纪律出现了非常严重的问题。譬如虐待俘虏事件。一方面是华盛顿政府的政策存在问题，另一方面则反映出美军士兵在纪律上的各种问题。另外，美国军队士兵吸毒问题也非常严重，这都是目前美国军队所面临的复杂问题。
