A U.S. soldier was killed Friday after he opened fire on members of the Military Police at the Fort Hood Army base in the state of Texas, according to a source.
The MPs at Fort Hood while on routine patrol discovered a suspicious vehicle parked near the main gate of the base in the early morning, according to the law enforcement source.
While the MPs approached the automobile, a soldier sitting in the vehicle opened fire on the MPs who immediately returned fire on the vehicle and its shooter, the source told the Law Enforcement Examiner.
Officials from the U.S. Army stated that, although the MPs administered life-saving measures, the soldier died before emergency medical personnel arrived. None of the MPs were hurt during the brief gun battle.
While an investigation into the shooting is already under way, the 30-year-old soldier’s name and pedigree have not yet been was released. It was noted that the departed had been assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Hood, the source said.
It’s not known if the incident is terrorist-related.
"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich.

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E.
