AP Sources: Rampage gun purchased legally

By LARA JAKES and DEVLIN BARRETT Associated Press Writers © 2009 The Associated Press
Nov. 6, 2009, 5:15PM

WASHINGTON — A 5.7-millimeter pistol used in the Fort Hood shooting was purchased legally by suspect Nidal Hasan at a Texas gun shop, law enforcement officials said Friday.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case.

Records indicate Hasan bought the FN 5.7 at store called "Guns Galore" in Killeen, Texas, in recent months and that gun was used in the attack that left 13 people dead, one of the officials said. The pistol has been dubbed a "cop killer" by those who have tried to stop its use.

Army officials said Hasan also was carrying another handgun.

One of the law enforcement officials said that gun was an older model Smith & Wesson .357-caliber revolver, but the official added there's nothing so far to indicate the second weapon was fired. The official said the revolver was so old, investigators doubt it could be traced to a specific purchase.

The most powerful type of ammunition for the FN 5.7 gun is available only to law enforcement and military personnel. Gun control advocates call it a "cop killer" weapon because that ammo can pierce bulletproof vests, and its use by Mexican drug cartels worries police.

It is not clear what kind of ammunition was used in the Fort Hood attack.

Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, as well as the Texas Rangers have interviewed store personnel about Hasan's gun purchase. One official said the store records do not indicate Hasan purchased any ammo when he bought the gun.

Jason Dean Hunt, 21, from Oklahoma

Francheska Velez, 21, from Chicago

Aaron Nemelka, 19, from Utah
Details of the Victims Emerge; an Idealistic Group

The Dead Include a Mother to Be, a Newly Married 21-Year-Old Who Planned a Military Career and a Sports Enthusiast


By ILAN BRAT, RACHEL EMMA SILVERMAN and JEFFREY BALL

They were soldiers preparing to go to war, sometimes for the second or third time. They were also sons, daughters, fathers and a mother-to-be.

They were 21-year-old Jason Dean Hunt, who his sister said was proudest behind the wheel of his Bradley Armored Vehicle, from rural Oklahoma; Francheska Velez, 21, who was looking forward to the birth of her first child, from Chicago; and Amy Krueger, 29, a sports and outdoors enthusiast, from tiny Kiel, Wis.

These were three of the 13 people -- a dozen soldiers and a civilian Defense Department police officer -- killed Thursday when an Army major on the Fort Hood base in Texas fired guns into a crowded area where soldiers were being readied for assignments overseas.

The Pentagon Friday afternoon was still contacting families and hadn't released the names of the victims. Dozens more soldiers were wounded when the alleged shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a psychiatrist, opened fire with two handguns, one of them a semi-automatic weapon.

Maj. Hasan was shot four times by a police officer and was in stable condition in a military hospital Friday.

Interviews with relatives and friends of the victims paint a portrait of an idealistic group, energized by military service. Mr. Hunt had signed a six-year extension while in Iraq last year, said his sister, Leila Willingham. "When he got into the military, he realized that was for him," she said. In August, he married while on leave. He planned to make the military his career.

Classmates voted Mr. Hunt "most quiet" member of the 2005 graduating class at Tipton High School in Oklahoma. "He was a good kid, soft-spoken and with a great sense of humor," said Kathy Gray, whose daughter was a classmate of Mr. Hunt's.

Ms. Velez had completed tours in Korea and Iraq, where she drove an oil tanker. She aimed to become a sergeant and to continue in the military, according to her father, Juan Velez. She was two months pregnant and had recently returned to the U.S. The family was preparing to travel to Texas for a visit, he said.

"She was a girl; she was still a girl inside," Mr. Velez said, trembling and choking back tears outside his west Chicago home. Ms. Velez was a homebody; she loved to go to the movies and watched cartoons on her time off, he said.

Ms. Krueger, a former high-school athlete and outdoors enthusiast, was a mental-health worker in Afghanistan, treating soldiers with combat stress. She quit the University of Wisconsin her freshman year and joined the military after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, with a high-school friend, Kristin Thayer.
[Aaron Nemelka, 19, from Utah] Associated Press

"We knew we had to do something, so we joined the Army. We were in the recruiter's office the next day," said Ms. Thayer, who said she talked to her friend on Wednesday. Ms. Krueger was recently promoted to staff sergeant and was preparing for a 10-month tour in Afghanistan. Earlier, she spent three months counseling soldiers at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.

"She was feisty," recalled Dario Telerico, principal of Kiel High School. "She was a very determined kid; she didn't back down from anybody." Ms. Krueger graduated from the school in 1998.

Among the others killed were Aaron Nemelka, 19, who joined the Army in October 2008 after graduating from West Jordan High School in West Jordan, Utah. Mr. Nemelka's sister, Lindsey Nemelka, declined to discuss her brother. "Too hard," she said.

Mr. Nemelka, who was due to be sent overseas early next year, was a member of the 510th Engineer Company, which builds roads and deconstructs explosive devices.

John P. Gaffaney, 56, of San Diego, and Russell Seager, 51, of Racine, Wis., were among five Army reservists killed. Also killed was Michael Grant Cahill, 62, who worked as a contract physician's assistant at the processing center where the massacre occurred.

Ogden soldier injured in Fort Hood shooting

By Joseph M. Dougherty
Deseret News
Published: Friday, Nov. 6, 2009 5:09 p.m. MST


WASHINGTON TERRACE — These emotions weren't supposed to come yet.

The worry, the heartache, the fear: They were expected later, once Aggie Foster's son deployed to Afghanistan, not on Thursday while he still was awaiting his deployment at a Texas Army base.

Aggie Foster was at work at Ogden Regional Medical Center when her daughter-in-law called to tell her that a gunman had walked into Fort Hood's Soldier Family Readiness Center and shot her youngest son, Joey, an Army private first class, in the hip.

Aggie Foster began to buckle, but Joey's wife, Mandy, assured her that Joey was OK, and the mother talked with her son Thursday and Friday.

Joey Foster, 21, has only been in the Army for a year, following in his brother's footsteps. But his training kicked in during the mayhem at Fort Hood, his mother said.

Thirteen people died and 30 were wounded when Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, believed to be the lone shooter, began firing. Included among the dead was 19-year-old Pfc. Aaron Thomas Nemelka of West Jordan.
Story continues below

Tyler Broadway, a spokesman for Fort Hood, said officials there don't plan to release a complete list of casualties until family members of all wounded or killed have been notified. But he expects to announce a base-wide memorial service within the next few weeks.

Joey Foster was standing in line when Hasan began shouting in Arabic and firing. He was hit in the fleshy part of his hip, his mother said.

Despite being wounded, Joey Foster began helping others evacuate the readiness center, his mother said, an act he told her was just part of doing his job.

In fact, Aggie Foster said, it embarrasses her son that some have called his efforts heroic.

"He feels that he's no hero," she said.

But Aggie Foster, a labor and delivery nurse who has seen plenty of emergency situations, says she's glad her son's training kicked in when it did so he could go to work and help people.

"You just do what you do, and that's your job," she said. "I'm proud he was able to do that."

It's too early for the Fosters to know if Joey's deployment to Afghanistan will remain in effect.

Now that they know he's safe, their hearts are reaching out to the families whose loved ones aren't coming home.

"I'm sad for the ones who didn't make it home," Aggie Foster said.

In a statement released Friday, Utah Gov. Gary Herbert thanked Foster for his service.

"(We) send our prayers to him for a speedy recovery from his injuries," Herbert said.


Aggie Foster, a registered nurse at Ogden Regional Medical Center, holds a photograph of her son, Pfc. Joey Foster, in Ogden Friday. Joey Fosterwas shot and wounded by a gunman at Fort Hood, Texas.

Army: Shooting suspect was bound for Afghanistan

Posted: Nov 5, 2009 09:35 PM
Updated: Nov 6, 2009 04:40 PM

By ANNE GEARAN
AP National Security Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - An Army spokeswoman says the suspect in the Fort Hood shootings had been scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan to counsel soldiers suffering from combat stress.

Army spokeswoman Col. Cathy Abbott says Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, an active-duty military psychiatrist, was to deploy with an Army Reserve unit that provides what the military calls "behavioral health" counseling.

It wasn't immediately clear whether Hasan sought the assignment or was being sent against his wishes.

Authorities say Hasan went on a shooting spree Thursday at the Texas Army post, leaving 13 people dead and 30 wounded.

Obama visits wounded US soldiers at Walter Reed

Friday, November 6, 2009 3:45 PM PST

President Barack Obama spent nearly two hours visiting wounded U.S. soldiers Friday afternoon.

The president met with 19 soldiers being treated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, as well as the families of three soldiers in intensive care, and hospital staff. He also awarded two Purple Hearts.

The president's visit came a day after an Army psychiatrist who once trained at Walter Reed hospital allegedly killed 13 people at Fort Hood. The White House says the hospital visit was planned before the shootings.

Friday's visit was Obama's first to Walter Reed since taking office, though he visited as a presidential candidate.

Ohio wife of Army soldier describes Fort Hood shooting

MASON, Ohio (AP) — The wife of an Army soldier says she listened in horror as her husband’s cell phone picked up the screams and gunfire from the deadly shooting at Fort Hood, Texas.

Melissa Berry of Mason, Ohio, says her husband, Sgt. Joshua Berry, called her Thursday afternoon from inside the Army base’s processing center, where authorities say Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan opened fire.

Berry says her husband blurted out, “Honey, they’re shooting in the room I’m in. I love you.” After that, Berry says her husband fell silent but stayed on the line as she heard the chaos that followed. Her husband wasn’t injured.

Berry said Friday that the victims’ families need support and prayers. She’s taking a flight to Texas on Saturday to pick up her husband, who was previously scheduled to transfer to Fort Knox, Ky.

Kimberly Munley Hailed as Hero After Fort Hood Shooting

By WSJ Staff

Ana Campoy reports on the Fort Hood shooting.

Prayers and thanks flooded the apparent Twitter feed of Sgt. Kimberly Munley, the civilian police officer hailed as a hero for stopping the shooting rampage at Fort Hood.

    Associated Press
    Police Sgt. Kimberly Munley, in a 2009 photo obtained from her Twitter account

One admirer sent a “bear hug.” She “is one outstanding brave cop!” another wrote. And from a third: “thank you for stopping that mad man.” The Twitter feed includes what appears to be a photo of Sgt. Munley.

Sgt. Munley, 34 years old, was credited by Army officials with firing the bullets that brought down Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist who allegedly opened fire in the base’s Soldier Readiness Processing Center on Thursday afternoon.

Survivors described the scene as chaotic: the lone gunman spraying bullets in all directions, unarmed soldiers falling, screaming, scrambling to respond. Many soldiers ripped off their uniforms to use as tourniquets; others ignored their own injuries to help those more gravely wounded.

Lt. Gen. Bob Cone, the top commander at Fort Hood, said Friday that Sgt. Munley and her partner responded within three minutes of reported gunfire. Gen. Cone said Sgt. Munley shot the gunman four times despite being shot herself. “It was an amazing and an aggressive performance by this police officer,” he said.

Sgt. Munley is in stable condition.

Sgt. Andrew Hagerman, a military police officer on the base, saw Sgt. Munley being loaded into an ambulance moments after the shooting died down. Nearby, Maj. Hasan, bare-chested and wearing military fatigue pants, was being treated on the pavement.

“She’s an outstanding officer,” Sgt. Hagerman said.

As word of her role spread, Sgt. Munley acquired ever more online fans. Many cited the bio in the Twitter feed believed to belong to the police officer, in which she wrote: “I live a good life… a hard one, but I go to sleep peacefully @ night knowing that I may have made a difference in someone’s life.”

RAW: Interview with Kimberly Munley's father, Dennis Barbour



Dennis Barbour


CAROLINA BEACH, NC (WECT) - While Dennis Barbour attended a business meeting in Virginia Beach Thursday afternoon, his 34-year-old daughter, Kimberly Munley, was in the process of saving dozens of lives by shooting the man who opened fire at Ft. Hood in Texas.  Barbour had no idea what took place on the base until hours after it was over.

"I called her cell phone," said Dennis Barbour Friday in his home of Carolina Beach.  "She called me back after her surgery."

Barbour, the former mayor of Carolina Beach, says his daughter is expected to be okay.  She was shot, but managed to shoot gunman Nidal Hasan four times and end his shooting spree that took the lives of 13 people and injured dozens more.

Barbour says the past twelve hours have given him time to come to grips with what took place, but he'll never understand how this happened in the first place.

"Why?  Why would anyone in their right mind start something like this?" Barbour asked in an interview with WECT's Jon Evans Friday afternoon.

Barbour says he's very proud of his daughter, who at one time served the city of Wrightsville Beach as a police officer.  He says you can't prepare for a moment like this as a father.

"You just have to make yourself strong and deal with it," said Barbour.

Barbour says his daughter does not have any ill will toward the gunman and she is upset at the loss of life that took place at Ft. Hood.  He asked everyone to continue to pray for all the families whose lives were affected by the shootings Thursday.

Women answer the call of duty at Fort Hood

November 6, 5:07 PMLouisville Independent ExaminerGreg Skilling

Yesterday, amid the carnage of the shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, two intrepid women displayed tremendous courage under fire. Police officer Kimberly Munley and Army nutritionist Amber Bahr selflessly placed the needs of others above their own lives in the midst of a desparate situation.

Sgt. Munley took down the shooter, Major Nidal Hassan, while Pfc. Amber Bahr tended to the wounded. Both women ignored their own wounds while performing their duty. Lt. Gen. Robert Cone called Bahr an "amazing young lady." Munley described as a "tough woman", singularly put an end to the killing spree saving the lives of the trapped and wounded soldiers and civilians at Fort Hood.

While the Army and the rest of America try to make sense of the senseless killings at Fort Hood, one thing is clear; women are an indispensable asset in the defense of our nation. The core values of honor, courage and commitment are clearly not limited to any group or classification of individuals. On November 5, 2009, the struggle for gender equality bore invaluable fruit in the form of these two courageous women.

New details emerge in shootout between officer, suspected shooter

By Patrick George | Friday, November 6, 2009, 02:40 PM

Army police officer Kimberly Munley arrived at the scene of Thursday’s shooting about seven minutes after it began, the head of Fort Hood’s emergency service said today.

Munley was outside the Soldier Readiness Center building when the shooter, who officials say is Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, emerged from the building gun in hand, said Chuck Medley, the director of emergency services at Fort Hood.

Hasan ran toward Munley, firing at her, Medley said. Munley returned fire with her pistol, hitting him.

Munley was shot in both legs and one wrist but is expected to make a full recovery, Medley said. He did not know how many times she was shot.

Hasan was shot four times, officials have said. He is reportedly in stable condition at an undisclosed hospital.

Medley said he visited Munley, 35, in the hospital early this morning and she was in good spirits.

“She’s got some surgeries (ahead) but she’s stable,” he said. “She’s the most upbeat injured person I’ve met.”

He said the military is flying her husband, who is stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C., to see her soon.

Munley is a civilian police officer with the Department of the Army and serves as a SWAT team member and firearms instructor for the department, Medley said. He said she joined the police force in January 2008 after serving in the Army.

Medley said the Army police department had been doing ‘active shooter training’ as a precautionary measure since the 2007 mass shooting at Virginia Tech University in which a student killed 32 others before taking his own life.

“When you have an active shooter hurting people, our protocol is to move to the threat and eliminate it. That takes some courage and skill,” he said. “If there was a person there to respond, Kim Munley is the one we would want to be there.”

Some of Munley’s training in how to respond to a mass shooting came from instructors from a Texas State University-San Marcos program called Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training.

The program, known as ALERRT, teaches police officers and first responders how to engage “active shooters,” gunmen whose only intention is to kill.

Commander Terry Nichols of the San Marcos Police Department, who is also an ALERRT instructor, said Munley was part of a group of U.S. Department of the Army police officers who were trained by ALERRT instructors in Killeen. He said Munley attended a class in San Marcos as well.

“First responders have to be ready to engage the shooter, that’s what she did,” Nichols said of Munley. “She almost sacrificed her life to save others.”

ALERRT has trained about 20,000 officers in building entry techniques and rescue and survival strategies, how to deal with explosive devices and in other methods to take on active shooters.

Patrol officers are taught the kind of tactics usually given only to SWAT and the military, including how to get past a barricaded door safely and how to work in low light. Part of the training simulates what it’s like to be fired upon in combat — something many police officers never encounter until it’s actually happening,

The idea behind the training was to teach patrol officers how to to take on such shooters or at least minimize the damage until SWAT teams arrive. The methods were developed by members of the Hays County Sheriff’s Department, who joined with Texas State in 2004 for research support.

ALERRT has a training facility near the San Marcos Municipal Airport. Officers take classes, fire weapons at a shooting range, practice breaching various types of doors and train in a makeshift house, complete with old furniture and wall decorations. Tuition for the two-day, 16-hour basic course in San Marcos is free, thanks to grant money.

“The training we started in San Marcos was able to help this police officer stop violence, we’re very proud of that,” Nichols said.

Soldiers participating in their college graduation ceremony tend to a fellow soldier wounded after a mass shooting, on the steps of Fort Hood's Howze Theater November 5, 2009. Investigators searched for the motive on Friday behind the mass shooting at a sprawling U.S. Army base in Texas, in which an Army psychiatrist trained to treat war wounded is suspected of killing 13 people. The suspected gunman, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, a Muslim born in the United States of immigrant parents, was shot four times by police, a base spokesman said. He was unconscious but in stable condition. Photo taken November 5, 2009. REUTERS/Jeramie Sivley/U.S. Army photo/Handout (UNITED STATES MILITARY CRIME LAW CONFLICT HEALTH) FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY.

The suspected gunman, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, a Muslim born in the United States of immigrant parents, was shot four times by police, a base spokesman said. He was unconscious but in stable condition. REUTERS/Jeramie Sivley/U.S. Army photo/Handout (UNITED STATES MILITARY CRIME LAW CONFLICT) FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY.
