Very sad... ...http://abcnews.go.com... http://www.foxnews.co... CNN reports The base is in lock down,and, Military officials, have caught one shooter,and,are trying to establish whether or not the shooters are " military impersonators"...apparently CNN is reporting that the 'shooters" were trying to get into the Graduation Ceremonies where the Officer Candidates were being honored...reports continue to come in....

RottnPugz Manhattan, MT Post #: 3,161	What a tragedy. I hope everyone takes a deep breath and considers this man from Jordan may have had some serious issues because of the job he did, counseling vets, and been reacting to his impending deployment, before assuming he MIGHT have been Muslim and acting out because of that.

I am listening to Fox and he is a Muslim convert.

JellyrollPugs Fort Worth, TX Post #: 1,141	I'm sorry, Shirley, but even if he is a post traumatic stress sufferer, it is no excuse.........no excuse at all, and from what I understand, he is not from Jordan, but an American convert to Islam. Edited by Bethy on Nov 5, 2009 7:37 PM

It was reported tonight he is from Jordan. There is no excuse, no where in my post did I excuse his actions, there also is no excuse to assume he did it based on what his religion may or may not be.
