Shooting on Fort Hood
April 2, 2014

(KCEN) -- There was a shooting on Fort Hood on Wednesday afternoon.

Three people are dead along with the shooter, and 16 others were injured. All were active duty military.

Thirty-four-year-old Fort Hood soldier Ivan Lopez was identified as the shooter. General Milley said that the shooter was being treated for mental issues, but not yet diagnosed with PTSD. The shooter is married with family in the local area, and he just arrived at Fort Hood in February.

Lopez is said to have been the only gunman.

Gen Milley believes the shooting started when he opened fire in a building. He then left the building, got into his vehicle, and fired. He then got out of his vehicle again and went into another building.  After entering the second building, he became face-to-face with an officer and that is when he shot himself.

After a second press conference by Scott & White, officials said there are 7 male patients and 1 female patient currently at Scott & White. Three patients are in critical condition and five are in serious condition. The three that are in critical condition are currently on ventilators, and are unable to speak. Two had to undergo surgery. Injuries ranged from mildly superficial to life-threatening. The majority only had single gunshot wounds that included injuries to the chest, abdomen, and neck.

During the time of the shooting, the shooter was said to be, at one point, in building 33026 which is the Medical Brigade Building. Also at the time of the shooting, reports of victims in the Battle Simulation Center on 65th and Warehouse.

Reports said that the shooter was driving a gray Toyota, described as a white male in an Army Combat Uniform, and carrying a .45 handgun.

Fort Hood Commander: “We Will Get Through This”
April 2, 2014

FORT HOOD (April 2, 2014) An Iraq war veteran undergoing diagnosis for post-traumatic stress disorder opened fire late Wednesday afternoon on post, killing three soldiers and injuring 16 others before taking his own life as he was confronted by a female military police officer, Fort Hood and III Corps Commander Lt. Gen Mark Milley said Wednesday night.

He declined to identify the soldier, who he said arrived at Fort Hood in February.

The married soldier, who was assigned to the post’s 13th Sustainment Command, was receiving mental health treatment and was on medication, he said.

Other sources, however, identified the gunman as Ivan Lopez, 34.

Lopez, an Army truck driver, was in uniform at the time of the shooting.

He was armed with a .45 caliber Smith and Wesson automatic pistol that he recently purchased locally, Milley said.

The weapon was not registered on base as required, Milley said.

He opened fire first in a building in the 1st Medical Brigade area, Milley said, and then got into a vehicle, firing several shots he drove to a second building in the 49th Transportation Battalion area.

He got out, entered the second building, and opened fire again, Milley said.

The female military police officer confronted him in the parking lot and shot him as he pulled out his gun, Milley said.

There’s no indication the shooting was terrorism-related, Milley said.

Federal, state, military and local authorities are involved in the investigation of the shooting, he said.

Senior officer: Fort Hood gunman sought mental health treatment
April 3, 2014

 
Within hours of the Wednesday attack, investigators started looking into whether the man's combat experience had caused lingering psychological trauma. Fort Hood's senior officer, Lt. Gen. Mark Milley, said the gunman had sought help for depression, anxiety and other problems.

Among the possibilities investigators planned to explore was whether a fight or argument on the base triggered the attack.

"We have to find all those witnesses, the witnesses to every one of those shootings, and find out what his actions were, and what was said to the victims," said a federal law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity, because he was not authorized to discuss the case by name.

The official said authorities would begin by speaking with the man's wife, and expected to search his home and any computers he owned.

The shooter was identified as Ivan Lopez by Texas Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee. But the congressman offered no other details, and the military declined to identify the gunman until his family members had been notified.

Lopez apparently walked into a building Wednesday afternoon and began firing a .45-caliber semi-automatic pistol. He then got into a vehicle and continued firing before entering another building, but he was eventually confronted by military police in a parking lot, according to Milley, senior officer on the base.

As he came within 20 feet of an officer, the gunman put his hands up but then reached under his jacket and pulled out his gun. The officer drew her own weapon, and the suspect put his gun to his head and pulled the trigger a final time, Milley said.

The gunman, who served in Iraq for four months in 2011, had been undergoing an assessment before the attack to determine if he had post-traumatic stress disorder, Milley said.

He arrived at Fort Hood in February from another base in Texas. He was taking medication, and there were reports that he had complained after returning from Iraq about suffering a traumatic brain injury, Milley said. The commander did not elaborate.

The gunman was never wounded in action, according to military records, and there was no indication the attack was related to terrorism, Milley said. His weapon had been recently purchased in the local area and was not registered to be on the base, Milley said.
 
Asked Wednesday about security improvements in the wake of the shootings, Hagel said: "Obviously when we have these kinds of tragedies on our bases, something's not working."

Investigators seek motive in Fort Hood shooting that left four dead
Posted April 2, 2014, Updated today April 3, 2014 8:37



FORT HOOD — Military officials say the Fort Hood gunman blamed for killing three people and wounding 16 others before taking his own life was from Puerto Rico.
A spokeswoman for the Puerto Rico National Guard on Thursday said Ivan Lopez was from the U.S. territory and joined the island's National Guard in 1999.
Lt. Col Ruth Diaz says Lopez went on a peace and security mission to Egypt's Sinai Peninsula in the mid-2000s. He left the Puerto Rico National Guard in 2010 to join the U.S. Army.
At least three military personnel remain in critical condition after the shooting.

A spokesman for Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Temple on Thursday said three patients are critical and six are listed as serious.

Hospital officials: Three Fort Hood shooting victims remain critical, no more fatalities expected
April 3, 2014

Update 10:50 a.m.: Three people remain in critical condition at Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Temple, one with a spine injury, another with a neck injury and a third with injuries to the abdomen.
At a press conference this morning, Dr. Matthew Davis said patients with spinal and abdominal injuries will require further surgery, one today and one tomorrow.
However, no fatalities are expected, said Davis, the director of the hospital’s trauma department.
The hospital has been treating nine patients since Wednesday’s shooting, eight men and one woman ranging in age from the low 20s to mid-40s, Davis said.
Six other people are in fair to good condition Thursday, he said.
Those people have superficial, grazing injuries, such as bullet wounds through muscle, as well as “shrapnel-type” injuries from bullets striking nearby objects, Davis said.
Patients who are awake are “in good spirits and talking,” and some could be discharged today, he said.
Hospital officials plan no other press conferences today, Davis said.
Doctors have contacted relatives of all the patients, and families are receiving counseling at the hospital, Davis said.
 

Update 10:45a.m.: A manager at Guns Galore, the Killeen shop that sold the gun used by Maj. Nidal Hasan in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting, said Thursday that the store had been in touch with the FBI in connection with Wednesday’s shooting but declined to say anything further to the American-Statesman — including whether Ivan Lopez bought his gun there — citing an ongoing investigation.
Meanwhile, more information has come to light about the man who officials have identified as the shooter.
While Lopez’s four-month tour to Iraq was unusually short – most deployments at that time were nine to 12 months – personnel records show Lopez didn’t deploy until August, according to a Pentagon source who said the timeframe indicates Lopez’s tour likely wasn’t cut short by mental health issues.
Lopez, a military truck driver, would have been in high demand at the end of 2011 as U.S. forces moved massive amounts of equipment and personnel out of the country.

Update 10:10 a.m.: Gov. Rick Perry has directed that all U.S. and state flags under state control will be lowered to half-staff Thursday and Friday in honor of the victims of Wednesday’s fatal shooting at Fort Hood.
“Individuals, businesses, municipalities, counties and other political subdivisions are encouraged to fly their flags at half-staff for the same length of time as a sign of respect,” according to a statement from the governor’s office. “Anita and I send our deepest condolences and prayers to the soldiers, families and support personnel touched by this terrible event.”
Fort Hood officials are planning a press conference at the post at 1 p.m.

Ivan Lopez was upset over recent deaths of mother, grandfather, family friends say
April 3, 2014

Family friends of suspected Fort Hood shooter Ivan Lopez told the American-Statesman on Thursday that the soldier was upset at the recent deaths of his mother and grandfather and may have felt conflicted about his role in the Iraq war because of his religious convictions.
His mother, Carmen, a nurse, died of a heart attack in November in Lopez’s native Puerto Rico. A month earlier, his grandfather had passed away.
“It had a big impact. It surely had to do with his psychological state,” said family friend Glidden Lopez Torres, speaking from Guayanilla, Puerto Rico.
Lopez-Torres said given his strict Catholic upbringing, Lopez may have also been conflicted about his participation in the war. “One never knows the repercussions going to war can have in a particular individual,” he said.
A childhood friend told the Nuevo Dia newspaper in Puerto Rico that Lopez was also upset that Army leaders only gave him a 24-hour leave to attend his mother’s funeral. The friend said that more recently Lopez had had an argument with someone at Fort Hood and may have been robbed.
According to Fort Hood officials, Lopez was being treated for depression and anxiety and being evaluated for post-traumatic stress disorder. He also told his superiors he had suffered a traumatic brain injury.
U.S. Army officials said Lopez, 34, joined the Puerto Rican National Guard in 1999, when he would have been 19 or 20 years old. He served overseas in the mid-1990s, on a “peace and security” mission to Egypt.
Reports of when he left the national guard differ, but military officials said Lopez enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2008. Officials said he served in Iraq for a four-month period in 2011; however, they added, he did not see combat, but rather was a truck driver.
While Lopez’s tour to Iraq was unusually short – most deployments at that time were 9 to 12 months – personnel records show Lopez didn’t deploy until August that year, according to a Pentagon source. The source added that the time frame indicates Lopez’s tour likely was cut short by its mission, not necessarily by any personnel issues. As a military truck driver, Lopez would have been in high demand at the end of 2011 as U.S. forces moved massive amounts of equipment and personnel out of the country.
Military spokesmen said the Lopez family had transferred from Fort Bliss, outside of El Paso, to Fort Hood two months ago.

Four victims released from hospital, conditions improved for 3 others
April 3, 2014

KILLEEN, Texas (KXAN) — Four patients were discharged from the hospital Thursday and the condition of three others previously in critical condition had improved, officials at Scott & White Hospital in Temple said.

The three patients who in critical condition were upgraded to serious condition, while two others remained in good condition and could be discharged Thursday, the hospital said.

According to what doctors said earlier Thursday, the victims who were in critical condition still have a long way to go before they are discharged. Still, they expressed high hopes for their patients and added they aren’t expecting any more deaths. Several survivors who are already awake are in good spirits and doctors may discharge them later today after a final assessment.
 

Out of the nine victims of the shooting who were in the care of Scott and White Hospital, eight of them are male. Their ages range  from the low 20s to mid 40s.
 

Earlier on Thursday, Army Secretary John McHugh said the suspected gunman Ivan Lopez had not seen combat during his four-month tour in Iraq and was seen by a psychiatrist in April. Officials added this did not mean Lopez was not suffering from serious psychological problems — only that they did not appear to be combat related.

Fort Hood gunman vented on Facebook about Sandy Hook shooter, Iraq
April 5, 2014

(CNN) -- Spc. Ivan Lopez vented about a range of subjects in Facebook posts before his shooting rampage at Fort Hood in Texas, including his outrage at Adam Lanza's mass school shooting in Connecticut, the overpowering fear experienced during an insurgent attack in Iraq and the feeling of all-consuming hatred after being "robbed."
Lopez took his own .45-caliber handgun onto the sprawling post Wednesday and killed three people and wounded 16 more before taking his own life, according to authorities.
They are trying to piece together what in his background and psychiatric treatment could have triggered a new round of bloodshed at the same Killeen post where an officer killed 13 people in 2009.
A 34-year-old Iraq war veteran with a history of depression and anxiety, Lopez was being evaluated for post-traumatic stress disorder before his shooting spree. He arrived at the post in February after being transferred from Fort Bliss in El Paso.
His Facebook posts, which were obtained from a Lopez family friend, appeared under the account name of "Ivan Slipknot," a reference to a heavy metal band. A family spokesman confirmed the account belonged to Lopez.
It is unclear whether his posts might help explain his mental state or a possible motive in the shootings. Authorities have said the motive is not known.
 

In early March, around the time investigators said he purchased the .45-caliber pistol used in the shootings, Lopez wrote: "My spiritual peace has just gone. Full of hate. Now I think I'll be damned. Last night I was robbed and I'm pretty sure there were 2 skinny ones. Green light and thumb down. That easy."
The details of the robbery are unknown. Killeen, Texas, police said the records department was closed Saturday.
In another Facebook post, Lopez talked about Lanza, 20, who killed his mother, Nancy, before fatally shooting 20 children, six staff members and himself at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown in December 2012.
Lopez wrote that Lanza "pretends to be a victim of a mental illness followed by addiction to violent video games" and that the shooter sought "international attention" and a "minute of fame as a villain."
He added, "It is stupid to me that anyone can have easy access to a powerful weapon without being mentally evaluated. This makes the government indirect accomplice... These bastards have perfected their way of attacking studying previous massacres to gain publicity and their minute of fame as a villain. But thanks to Hollywood and the sensational profiling by the media [they] give more power to those intelligent cowards."
Another post dealt with his time in Iraq: "Celebrating life. It has been exactly 1 year and 2 days since left Iraq seeing in Fallujah the most brutal explosion... I was left paralyzed and started a discussion over the radio... I was only focused on breathing deeply so that I don't lose focus and continue the mission. [Those] were hours of agony waiting for an attack by the insurgency but we were able to exit Fallujah all alive. I was in vehicle #6.The worst was that #5 was a diesel truck, the perfect target. And I was only thinking about getting back with my family."
Lopez added: "To be in the line of fire is f----- up but even more f----- is the suffering of the families."
Lt. Gen. Mark Milley, the post's commanding general, said Lopez did not experience direct combat in Iraq.
"So far, we have not discovered any specific traumatic event, wounds received in action, contact with the enemy or anything else specific that he may have been exposed to while deployed," the general said.
Grey said authorities had "credible information" that Lopez "was involved in a verbal altercation with soldiers from his unit just prior to him allegedly opening fire."
 
Before Wednesday's shooting, Lopez stopped at the post's personnel office to pick up a leave form, according to the sister of one of the soldiers injured in the attack.
Armetra Otis, sister of Sgt. Jonathan Westbrook, said on CNN's "The Lead" that her brother "was at work and a guy came in and asked for a leave form."
The soldier was told he would have to come back later, Otis said.
"And apparently I guess he didn't want to hear that, so he came back and just opened fire, " Otis said.
Westbrook was shot four times, but released from a hospital Friday, his sister said.
Law enforcement sources told CNN that investigators were searching for possible motives, including whether Lopez was angry over canceled leave.
If Lopez sought a leave this week, it wouldn't be his first.
Glidden Lopez Torres, a family spokesman, said Lopez' mother, Carmen, an emergency room nurse in their hometown, died of a heart attack in November. A month earlier, Lopez' grandfather had died in Guayanilla,a tight knit municipality on the southern coast of Puerto Rico.
The spokesman, not related to the soldier, said Lopez attended the funeral but was disappointed that it took about five days for his 24-hour leave to be approved by the military.
In Friday's statement, the soldier's father said his son's medical treatment, the recent deaths of his mother and grandfather and changes related to a transfer of military installations "surely affected his condition."

Mourners gather for Fort Hood memorial service
April 9, 2014

FORT HOOD — Update 12:41 p.m.: One more soldier has been released from the hospital and returned to duty. Four remain, all in stable condition, according to Fort Hood officials.
The boots and rifles and helmets are once again arranged in symbolic mourning on the stage in front of Fort Hood’s looming headquarters building, marking the three victims of last week’s mass shooting here.
For the second time in five years, this Army post is gathering for a memorial service after a soldier opened fire on his fellow service members.
And once again, President Barack Obama will deliver a eulogy to the fallen soldiers at a ceremony scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.
Shortly before noon, hundreds of soldiers, family members and dignitaries began arriving at Sadowski Field. Among the mourners is Joleen Cahill, whose husband Michael Cahill was killed by Nidal Hasan in 2009.
The latest shooting happened just a mile from the site of the Nov. 5, 2009 shooting massacre, which left 13 dead and more than 30 wounded. The scene of that crime, a medical building where soldiers underwent their final checks before deploying to war, has been razed and a memorial is planned for the site.
A planned memorial in Killeen has not been built, with organizers saying they need to raise another $200,000 to erect a pavilion to house sculptures memorializing the victims.

Army: Fort Hood Lacked System to ID Threat of 2014 Rampage
January 23, 2014

FORT WORTH - Fort Hood officials say there were no clear warning signs before a soldier went on a rampage last April that left four dead and 16 wounded, according to a U.S. Army report released Friday.

There was no indication that Spc. Ivan Lopez would go on a two-block shooting spree before killing himself on April 2, the report concluded. It also said the chain of command would have had difficulty recognizing any personal problems leading up to the attack, because risk assessment relies on self-reporting and Lopez had been dishonest with his supervisors.

"In the absence of a system capable of identifying (Lopez) as a threat, and because the unit was unaware and unable to address the variety of stressors in (Lopez's) life, Fort Hood was not able to prevent the shooting," lead investigator Lt. Gen. Joseph E. Martz said in the report.

No single factor prompted the incident, the report said, despite Army investigators' previous findings that Lopez had been in an argument over a leave request.

Investigators have said the 34-year-old Iraq War veteran was undergoing treatment for depression and anxiety while being evaluated for post-traumatic stress disorder, but was not considered "likely" to commit violence.

He had recently lost two family members and faced financial difficulties, officials said. A spokesman for Lopez's family said in April that he was upset he was granted only a 24-hour leave - which was extended to two days - to attend his mother's funeral in Puerto Rico. Army spokesman Lt. Col. Donald Peters said it is "absolutely untrue" that he was granted only a day's leave, instead getting six days' leave.

The report said the deaths and financial problems could have had a cumulative effect on Lopez's emotional state.

"Since risk assessment tools depend on self-reporting, they are subject to the Soldier's willingness to identify risk factors accurately," the report said, adding that Lopez could sometimes be "misleading or deceptive."

The Army previously said it was logistically impossible to stop and search all 80,000 people who work on the sprawling base every day.

Recommendations in the report, for which more than 160 witnesses were interviewed, included exploring whether soldiers should register privately owned weapons with their commanders. Lopez flashed his badge to enter the base April 2 and carried out the shooting with .45-caliber Smith and Wesson that was not registered with the Army base.

Lopez's shooting occurred nearly five years after Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan gunned down 13 people at a medical readiness building at Fort Hood. Hasan carried a high-powered pistol and several cartridges of ammunition into the building under his green Army fatigues and opened fire for several minutes.

An FBI review found that authorities missed several messages Hasan had sent to a Yemen-based cleric tied to terrorist activity. Evidence presented at his trial two years ago included testimony that he had trained to quickly fire the pistol at a nearby gun range.

Since they investigated themselves, I take this report with a grain of salt.

Fort Hood shooting report pins no blame, calls for more communication

An Army investigative report on the April 2014 mass shooting at Fort Hood concludes there were no clear warning signs that commanders could have acted on to prevent the shooting, but also calls for better communication between units, Army medical facilities and between leaders and their soldiers.

Fort Hood spokesman Col. Christopher Garver said the Army post is evaluating and implementing the report’s recommendations.

“Fort Hood officials remain committed to doing what’s necessary to ensure the safety and security of all personnel on Fort Hood,” Garver said.

On April 2, 2014, Spc. Ivan López killed three of his fellow soldiers and wounded 16 others before killing himself.

A month before the rampage, a psychiatrist examined López, who had complained of a traumatic brain injury, and concluded he showed “no sign of likely violence,” according to Secretary of the Army.
