(11-16-2009) On November 5, 2009, a crazed gunman went on a shooting rampage at Ft. Hood, the largest army base in the U.S., leaving 12 dead and 31 wounded U.S. Army personnel in his wake.

Initial mainstream media reports first pinned the shootings on "five," then "three" assailants.

By day's end, the MSM had whittled their list of unnamed suspects down to one: Major Nidal Malik Hasan, an Army psychiatrist alleged to have been selected for deployment to Afghanistan. Initial reports were in stark contrast to amended updates, first, by the hour, then by the minute.

One shooter was proclaimed to have been killed and another wounded before escaping. "Major Hasan stormed into the base processing center wielding a 9-mm pistol and a .45 caliber handgun, shooting at everyone in sight" until he was subdued by base security officers. Described as a 'crack marksman', Major Hasan entered the processing center, emptied his two handguns, reloaded, and continued firing upon dozens of fleeing, unarmed victims.
