As many of you know my fiance and I live at Fort Hood. The whole army base is locked down. The barracades are up. No one is allowed in or out. The phones are jammed for the most part and calls are nearly impossible. The whole ordeal happened across the street from where my fiance and roommate work. Yeager is home safe with me and can't get back on post with the rest of the unit. My fiance Ski is stuck on base near by three of the shooting locations. Last I heard at 2pm while this was all going on that he was safe and trying to account for the where abouts of all his soldiers. 12 are dead and 31 wounded was the last update and we dont' know if any are our friends or from Ski's unit yet. We have reports of at least 5 locations on the base where people were shot. All the local schools are locked down too. People living in on-base housing have been instructed to stay inside and close their ventilation systems. Basically this is being treated as an unofficial terrorism attack.

One shooter has been identified as an Army Major who worked as a psychiatrist in the military hospital and a recently converted Muslim. He was killed in the gunfire. There are other shooters unidentified as of now. The buildings attacked were centers used for training soldiers preparing for deployment and where they received help after returning from deployments. We are currently waiting for more news from the general and the names of the killed and wounded released.

Update: As I was writing this I just spoke with Ski. He is fine but his phone is dying because he's letting his soldier use it to call their families. Luckily he has one fo the few so far that haven't been getting cut off and disconnected. Everyone is locked down in basements and inside the buildings.

I will post updates as we find out here.
