Fort Hood Shooting

I cried for the families who were caught up in this unnecessary violence.

Very very sad. I can imagine how this must affect you if you're the mom of two servicemen. Thank you, and them, for your service by the way.

But, seriously, what is it about Fort Hood? Twice in five years now...is there something wrong there? Seems strange.

I'm not sure if it's what you wanted, but it looks like red cross might have something set up, but I think the monetary donations are more for the shelters/food/drink they provide after any disaster, and not just this one.

My son is a soldier at Ft. Hood and it was terrifying to hear what had happened.  My phone was dead and it was the longest 2 minutes of my life getting it charged so I could see that he was ok!  My heart truly hurts for the families that got the worst news possible. 

I'm also heartbroken for the shooter's family.  Does anyone know what happens to them, now?  Do they lose home (if they were on base) and benefits?   Just a horrible, horrible thing all the way around.
