The civilian police officer credited with stopping the shooting rampage that killed 13 people at Fort Hood is a Carolina Beach, North Carolina native. Her father was once the Mayor there...right down the road from where I live.

I'm an ex Military wife, plus worked as a civilian for The US Army back in 1970-80s. We lived on several bases & outside several with our family. We think of incidences like this happening in other countries, but not here in the USA. After 9/11/2001, we need to realize there is no place "safe." I know all the military & their families will appreciate your prayers and positive thoughts on their behalf.

I am so sorry for them.

There was only one gunman. And he was a muslim extremist terrorist. What else would you call an incident like this?
