Now updated to 12 dead and 31 injured.
My heart goes out to the victims and their families. A base should be a safe harbor for these brave young men and women. A place where they can train and relax before putting their lives on the line to protect liberty and freedom. I hope the slime that perpetrated this crime are brought to justice swiftly.
Apparently it was a 39 yo officer that shot them He is one of the dead. 2 others have been arrested.
Doubleday,
Most likely the "slime" that did this is a soldier himself - back from multiple deployments.
Sad -- watch the movie "In the valley of Elah" Excellent non-political view of our Heros.

Turns out the shooter is a mental health psychologist on the base.
They are now saying the gun man is not dead. He is a Muslim who they were aware of his anti war postings on the Internet.

I'll stick with my definition of slime ...member.
13 are dead and 28 wounded. Hasan yelled "Allahu Akbar" (God is Great)as he gunned down his victims. He was never deployed outside of the US. While studying mental health he took extensive weapons training courses. He was disgruntled after receiving a poor performance review. He didn't believe in the missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. He made interent posintgs that discussed suicide bombings and other threats.
I hope he recovers so that he can face the consequences of his actions. Congratulations to the civilian police officer that put 4 bullets in him to stop the rampage after he had been wounded himslef...a true hero.
This puts many things into perspective...not the least of which are that life is precious, don't waste a day, tell your family and your friends how much you care for them, and baseball is fun but it ain't life or death.
the officer was a lady with a daughter. keep the people in our area in your prayers.
