I suspect at least one other shooter, and with a long gun.

You mean like a sniper ("long gun" )?

Potentially. I'd expect someone with at least a 16. To be that lethal and effective with handguns, unless you're loading hollow points (which would have increased the numbers dead significantly), you aren't going to score a dozen fatalities with 9's (guessing as that is a popular handgun) unless you're a competition level shooter.

Well, as much as I hate to intone Fumasu, we'll just have to wait and see. I'm waiting for this incoming news briefing.

They should bury him with a pig p***s shoved down his throat.

long gun is long

I think PTSD can safely be ruled out, or at lest I'm betting it wasn't just a soldier snapping. Conflicting reports of multiple shooters means coordination if there were. The Major is a convert to Islam, that raises an eyebrow. He was a psychiatrist which means 1.) If he had PTSD one would think he would know how to handle it and to get help and 2.) Exactly one kind of trauma would an Army head-shrinker who stays well behind the lines be exposed to?

Let's cue the second Muslim witch hunt; 50 bucks says the first victim will be a Sikh.

I'll bet 70 that it'll be a Sikh.

So, Hasan didn't commit suicide, he was shot down. Also there IS another suspect in custody still. Press conference is late by a half hour.

[LightWarrior]

I wonder if this might complicate the war and McChrystal's demand for more troops.

Actually, I make that comment because he is supposedly a recent convert to Islam and is directed toward him specifically.

Wait...this attack is having loose ties with Islam?
