OT: Prayers going up for those at Ft. Hood!
2:50pm they are saying at least 2 possibly 3 shooters. At least 7 dead and 20+ injured. Really scary and sad.
Some reports are that it occurred at the Soldier Readiness Center.

i know we have a few 'lurkers' here on the board that are stationed there. I FULLY and STONGLY believe the govt doesnt take PTSD as seriously as they should (even if that wasnt the case here). My heart, thoughts and prayers to those folks, the familys and the teams that are dealing with this, both now and in the future.

FAMILY-I had some HORRIBLE hours this afternoon. My oldest nephew..my first "baby"...is an Army Sgt-just moved to Ft Hood last month. Sunday he told me he would be working in the Soldier Readiness Center all week, training new guys. It took several hours for him to be able to call me today and let me know he's okay. He was crying and couldn't talk about what he saw, etc-just that he was not physically injured. Please keep my "Rusty" in your prayers. Y'all might remember his little son ,Ian, was the one who was burned badly summer before last-and made a full recovery-because of YOUR prayers!
What a horrible, horrible tragedy for all concerned. CRAP doesn't begin to describe it...
Thanks to our LORD for protecting my loved one.
