I know what I might get for saying this, but I also feel so bad for the shooter and his family. Mental health needs to be more rigorously screened--especially in the military. Lots of guys come back (I know, I know, this one hadn't been deployed--but he heard it ALL first hand and scared the bejeebus out of him) and are going through a lot of emotions and are just thrown back into society. Please pray for ALL of our soldiers--God bless them, they give more than we know.

I'm not generally a religious person, but God be with the victims and their families.

Who ever would have thought that a soldier could do that to scores of innocent people on his own base? I hope the army starts implementing more rigorous psychological screening processes.

Rest in peace. Heroes, all of them.

Ex-army wife here. My fear was always that something would happen when he was overseas...never would have thought in a million years that the danger might be the soldier standing next to him. My heart aches for the families of those fallen heroes.

Lutefisk, the general said one of them was a civilian police officer. So a whole other set of families who have to panic until they hear from their loved ones.

I feel sometimes like these times are an unofficial civil war in America. It's so sad, so many senseless deaths.

12 gone and 31 hurt. What do you hope for at that point? I suppose that no one else dies.

Killeen is where the shootings at a Luby's restaurant took place in the 1990's. About 30 innocent people died, if I remember correctly.

Very scary. Let it end soon.

Wow, you go to lunch and this happens.
