army major nidal hasan did that.tually convicted of 13 counts of murder, 32 counts of attempted murder. that is a really rare occurrence, isn't it, general honore? >> absolutely, wolf. i think the data will show that. when it happens -- in the nidal case, hopefully we don't have a repeat of that, it's a double hit on our military families and our soldiers. because anywhere you wear that uniform people are looking at you with that eye of what might have happened on that post. it reflects on our community. but that's a strong community. they're resilient. they'll bounce back and they'll get better. hopefully not having to respond to another one of these anytime soon. and hopefully those families can get back to their lives. >> all right, general, thanks so much, general russell honore is joining us. let me show our viewers what's going on right now. you're looking at live pictures from fort hood,texas. we expect lieutenant general mark milley to be speaking momentarily. in fact i think he's at the microphone right now

he was hasan the coward, hasan the terrorist, as far as i am concerned. i will never consider this man as a major in the united states army. so i think that what we have to do -- what they are doing right now to law enforcement authorities, sean, is they are looking into every aspect of this man's life to try to determine what was the motive? the motive that would make him go on that base and to shoot and kill some of his fellow soldiers. >> we're awaiting the press conference. our hope and prayers is that we get more information about the motive was. regardless of which, those families and many families getting bad news tonight, as four are dead and many more wounded. 14 are wounded. ted, thank you for being with us. be on stand by. we welcome into the studio our panel is with us tonight and k.t. mcfarland, a former fbi special agent and former navy s.e.a.l. and also a foxnews.com reporter. some of the news covered tonight, almost immediately people go, it is not terrorism. and i'm not like -- i'm not saying it is. i'm saying we don't know. why do people

hasan had lots of red flags. >> hasan there was no excuse what happened with hasan.been stopped there was so out there. military. hopefully this case is not like major hasan because all the red flags were there with major hasan. >> we are looking actually at the screen. this is a hospital where at least some of the victims have been taken. we have heard that there were 14 injured but then that number hasn't been confirmed. you can see the shot there of that hospital. and then we're waiting for a statement from president obama at this horrible, horrible situation down in fort hood. i guess getting back to my question is that is -- i assume the military is being more active to the red flags after hasan? >> yes. they should be and they are. but, again, when senator lieberman and i conducted the hearing more struck by the facts people in the military concerned about. we didn't believe t. at the time there were enough safeguards in place against individuals in the military who may want to carry out violent acts. >> congressman, thank you. standing by for president obama a

remember, something similar happened in 2009 involving nidal hasan. i want to go now to a psychologist who interviewed nidal hasan who killed 13 people and injured 30 plus in 2009. he joins me now by telephone. doctor, were you surprised when you heard about another shooting at ft. hood, texas? >> i can't say i was entirely surprised, no. no, i wasn't. >> is this because of the stress that our soldiers are under? is this because of ptsd? why aren't you surprised? >> well, first, a lot of your guests have been talking about security. it's impossible to secure a fort of that size. there are over 45,000, 50,000 active soldiers and their families, 8,000 civilians. i've been on that base numerous times. i was never searched. it's not a place you can make entirely safe from gunfire. but in addition to that, in the wake of major hasan's shooting in 2009, the military leaders acknowledged that we have r rampant emotional problems in our returning vets from iraq and afghanistan. our suicide rate from returning iraqi veterans is 11% higher than those from vietn

eerie reminder what happened with major nadal hasan where 13 people were murdered.re's what happened on that want base today. you hear the voice on the loud speaker saying take shelter immediately. you hear a child's voice, a child is afraid. with the size of this base there are residential areas and that's what we're looking at right here where you heard the loud speaker telling people to take shelter immediately. our understanding it's still a take shelter situation on that base, an active situation. i want to get to our ed lavandera, he's on his way to fort hood and ed you were covering day in and day out the horrific murder and shooting situation there in 2009 with major nadal hasan. >> reporter: erin, very true. the scars of that horrible day back in 2009 is something that is still very evident there at fort hood. in just a few months ago army installation there went through the intensely secure situation murder trial of major nadal that ended in his conviction and his death. they live with this constantly. a very traumatic situation once again. i can tell you

and major nidal hasan convicted of that shooting, 13 people gunned down.ase obviously went through all kinds of security, all kinds of situations and review. now we're hearing of another shooting. we don't know the extent of this yet. but obviously, something that is extremely serious. >> also, a very difficult situation for this base. this is one of the largest army bases in the country, bret. difficult to secure a place like that that has so many armed people coming and going on the base, but yes, there has been very tight security there since the nidal hasan incident in 2009 in which the 13 people were killed. 30 others were injured. they were preparing to head overseas when he opened fire on them. so of course, ft. hood is unfortunately familiar with this kind of incident. they know what to do, and that's why they're putting out the alerts, and that's why the alarms are going off, and that's why they're not taking any chances right now. >> here is what the local affiliates there have, reports of an active shooter on ft. hood. reports there are several

you were shot seven times by hasan.s it because fort hood is the largest post, it's essentially a small city. >> it's a mixture of a lot of different factors. it's not just the base itself. it's just unfortunate you have to have two shootings that occurred at one base. so i would not say that fort hood is a bad place. i would not say that it's something the army did at fort hood is a bad place because it's not fort hood itself. we have to look at factors overall, military-wide, not just army but all components to see how we can fix this so we will not have it to reoccur again. >> alonzo lunsford, thanks for your support to your country. >> thank you. >>> a combat milestone the first time in decade but it's no mission accomplished. malaysia's updated cockpit security and one 9/11 widow says it's not nearly enough. ♪ [ male announcer ] this man has an accomplished research and analytical group at his disposal. ♪ but even more impressive is how he puts it to work for his clients. ♪ morning. morning. thanks for meeting so e

hood, texas, the scene of the major nadal hasan massacre in 2009. he's been convicted.in 2013. 13 counts of murder, 30 accounts of attempted murder. he was found guilty of targeting soldiers he wanted that were being sent to afghanistan. he said he wanted to protect the taliban and afghanistan and its leaders from the u.s. military. during his trial he declined to make a statement. 12 days of testimony. tom fuentes, our law enforcement analyst is here. this is escalating. it sounds more ominous when we get a trickle of information coming in. >> right. the last information makes it sound like it's not a contained situation and they think the person may have left the base and is endangering local residents outside the base. in the case of hasan, we had the army's police department were on site in about two minutes and engaged in a shoot-out with him and stopped him from any further shooting. in this situation, we don't know how soon the police responded, when they were notified to respond and whether or not it has been contained. so all of that has yet to be determined. >

hood by nidal hasan. >> u.s.sident barack obama says that investigators will get to the bottom of what happened. he spoke with memories of the 2009 shooting fresh in his mind. >> any shooting is troubling. obviously, this reopens the hurt of four years ago. we know the sacrifices that these families make. our thoughts and prayers are with the entire community. and we're going to make sure that the community has what it needs to deal with the current situation and any potential aftermath. >> paula, thank you for joining us. he was being treated for depression as well as anxiety. what does that say to you about what his state of mind may have been? >> well, that says there was a lot of vulnerability here. i listened to the commander's press conference. depression and anxiety, they're a bit different. depression, feelings of sadness and hopelessness. it's a big key in this. we talk about him shooting others, but this is really a suicide in many ways. anxiety is really about worrying. but the ptsd diagnosis is import

when army major and psychiatrist in dahl hasan went on a rampage, killing 13 people and injuring 32. it was the worst shooting ever on an american military base. the victims, most of them soldiers preparing to head to war, were gathered for final medical exams when hasan walked in and opened fire. the victims were unarmed and unable to defend themselves. shots were at close range with deadly accuracy. >> stunning. and as i say, as i've gone around to the hospital here, as i've been at the scene, the soldiers and family members and many of the great civilians that work here are absolutely devastated. >> reporter: a responding police officer finally opened fire, paralyzing hasan from the waist down. last year hasan was found guilty on all 13 counts of premeditated murder and has been on death row at ft. leavenworth since august. since then, there have been at least nine other shootings at u.s. military bases. and last year, a former navy reservist and military subcontractor, aaron alexis, fatally shot 12 people at the washington navy yard. a large portion of the city only miles away fr

we've made reference to the nidal hasan shooting.you think about that, wide enough to get the lay of the base again. that area is actually down over toward the far end down here, the western end. that's where all of that occurred. and there are some schools over here, a college out here. one thing we should mention here, john, we talked about the nidal hasan shooting, the incident today. but 23 years ago, if i remember, the neighboring community here, collee n, had the largest mass shooting in the history at the time, the luby cafeteria massacre. if you think about the military community and civilian community working together has faced many extraordinary things in recent memory. many people there remember the luby cafeteria massacre as well. >> i do think it's important to note it's a community that most people should know for the bravery and heroism for the people who serve at that army base. there are people, soldiers rotating in constantly including many who have come back from afghanistan recently and thousands of members of the

we had just been through the hasan trial.een great. they've been helping out here at the post, sending in firefighters, sending in police officers and also opened a temporary shelter for the folks who couldn't get back on the post who live here. she said they were just worried and concerned. but the good thing is, this day and age, they had cell phones, so they were texting with their loved ones, making sure they weren't in any danger. an update from the hospital, we heard that those that are in stable condition, that they are expected to be upgraded to fair condition later today. so that's great news as well. back to you. >> we could use good news. ainsley down at the front entrance there of fort hood in texas. >> so who is the shooter? we know his name is ivan lopez. we know that he's 34 years old. we know that he had behavioral and mental health issues. however, no one is diagnosing definitely as ptsd. >> he was being treated for depression, so that would qualify. he served four months in iraq. he had just gotten to this p

booker who is also known as mohammed abdullah hasan was recruited by u.s.rmy in kansas city, missouri, in february of this year. and was scheduled to report for basic training on april the 7th. but he was discharged last week, apparently after law enforcement authorities learned of his alleged plan. both the fbi and the 902nd military intelligence fort leavenworth in texas are involved in the hunt. it's our understanding that this person be a dliewl la hasan also known as booker has not been located. hunt for him. 24 hours later, four people are dead and 14 are wounded at fort hood. could it be a coincidence? it absolutely could be. does it appear that it is at this hour according to jana winters' reporting? it does. by my goodness, jennifer. >> according to law enforcement officials talked that we talked to in the last 24 hours. these appear to be separate incidents. >> indeed. >> in fact, we were told late yesterday that person that they were looking for, in fact, they were no longer looking for him. they knew where this person by the name of booker was a

here is ans's lama hasan. >> i just heard that. they just said racist. >> reporter: walking down the street with tommy robinson is dangerous business. >> what's he saying now? he is the founder of what many kid to be britain's biggest hate group. his name has become a symbol for anti-muslim hatred. >> why the [ bleep ] you bring your camera? >> in this neighborhood that makes robinson a marked man. robinson calls himself a soldier. >> oh, god. no, no, no, no. and this is his war. >> america is going to see firsthand what is going to happen. this is what its happening. this is coming your way. on one side, british born radical muslims. >> we don't follow presidents or prime ministers. >> reporter: who believe they're fighting a holy war against the west. and want the law to rule. >> there is no such thing. >> on the other, the far right movement robinson founded. >> he is our one leader. the one and only leader. >> english defensemen says their mission is to fight radical islam. >> what can we do? it is too late. it is never, ever,

we have standards in place since 2009 since the major nadal hasan incident. we do regular examiners to exero prepare for these types of events for plant mobilization and security for fort hood has to do with this. personally i'm responsible for the training areas and arranging the training that takes play at fort hood. one of the things that we did in reaction to this of course was we shut down our ranges, we actually had some live fire events going on down there, we shut down the ranges and opened up the air space for evacuation of casualties. and you know i've just checked with my deputy who's in charge back there. you know there's a full accountability taking place for all personnel. of course, the timing of it being right around the 16:30 time frame half of my people were leaving for the day. >> so when you say full accountability if they are leaving does that mean you get back right away? >> no, no, no, if they left they stay out. obviously the gates are shut down immediately. we have to account for them, we have to know where they're at to report. so th

of course, you know major hasan we know the tragedy and base police.a lone actor who radicalized on the internet with the radical al qaeda cleric. he was a terrorist acting like a cleric, anwar al awlaki. he was killed in a drone strike in yemen. he had recruited hasan and he did the attack on fort hood and shot a bunch of our heroes. it is sad to see a shooting back at fort hood for whatever the motivations may be because they have already been through it before. >> and then we are told that the fbi kansas city, missouri division sent out an alert about the recent recruit who we talked about who was also known as the man reportedly bid farewell to his friends and expressed the desire to commit an act of violence. again, we do not know if this is in any way connected to this shooting. but this alert was put out yesterday. let me go to a report by a local station to give us information. this was a few minutes ago. let's go. look at this. >> reporter: there are very, very few people other than media here near the front gate right now. we did speak to a f

the first one, nidal hasan in 2009, killing 13 people, wounding 32. now we have another member of the military killing three people and himself. i want to go to general james "spider" marks. we have been communicating by e-mail and you've been talking about pre and post deployment medical screening. that would indicate something to you. >> absolutely. before a soldier deploys, he or she goes through a predeployment medical screening and you get into all the details that might be affecting that soldier, physical, psychological and it has to be done online and a doctor has to validate that. when that soldier redeploys, you go through the same process. what you have is a before and an after view, and you want to overlay those two to see what the discrepancies are. what might have affected this soldier during that period of deployment. so what happened with this soldier as indicated, he deployed in 2011. if he went through the process as he should have done, he would have come back and within short order, probably a month or so, it would have been diagnos

that's something hasan did not do and something lopez did not do in this case. in terms of security, they said the rapid response training that they had after the hasan attack helped them in this case. he was put down very quickly. only after a few minutes police were able to find where this man was and he ended his own life when confronted by military police. >> let me bring in nbc news be pentagon correspondent jim miklaszewski. jim, talk about what changes were made at fort hood and other bases after this. i was under the impression that the change of having to register the weapon came after the nidal hasan shooting. what were the changes, then, if any? >> reporter: well, there was -- they put in a regulation at fort hood that nobody on base, whether they were a soldier or a civilian, could carry a concealed weapon. but then, if it's concealed, how would you know? because none of these soldiers who go through that gate, tens of thousands go in and out of that post every day. they are not searched. they don't have to go through a magnetometer. you can only ima

>> using fort hood and the trial of nadal hasan, and the court-martial and sentencing. >> again, we're not able to confirm any of that. that's your early take on this. and we'll have to see if that's what, in fact, happens. >> of course, purely at this point we have no knowledge other than it's extremely bold gesture by this individual. on this very secure base. >> can you give us insight into that explain to people just how difficult it is to get onto an army post? >> you have to show your military i.d. you have stickers on your car just by vehicle. if you are going on by foot you have t a difficult time. once you're on the base it's not like you have military police roaming from place to place. and in particular since 2000 the military has been more conscious of someone who seems out of place, seems disillusioned. this is taking place on the military base. >> because of everything you just said do you--i would think that the families probably have felt pretty safe in recent yea years, would you say? >> i think there is no question. even the measures that you hear are taking place rig

in 2009 major nidal hasan killed 13 people. secretary of the army spoke on capitol hill on this subject this morning. >> any time the army loses a soldier we all mourn when that loss comes at the hands of another soldier and indeed when that event occurs at the very place that suffered so much pain, so much anguish just four and a half years ago, it only adds to the sorrow and the all consuming sense of loss the army is feeling this day. >> the all-consuming sense of loss for the latest on this i'll turn to charles hadlock in texas and jim miklaszewski at the p pentagon. what's the status of the investigation? >> reporter: the army and fbi are trying to figure out why the soldier came on the post with a loaded gun and open fire on his fellow soldiers, killing three of them and wounding 16 others and then committing suicide. now, authorities say they don't believe this was an act of terrorism but say they haven't ruled out anything. part of the investigation involves the gun itself. it was a 45 caliber imagine numb hand gun boug

it's a weapon he got at the same gun shop where major nadal hasan got his. as you can imagine the whole ordeal taking a toll on the medical team treating the victims. >> this is an emotionally and physically traumatic event. that's what patients need to heal from. many staff have spouses or family members posting at ft. hood, who are in the military. >> national security correspondent jennifer griffin live at the pentagon. jennifer, what more have you learned about the shooter from your army sources? >> reporter: well, gretchen, we just learned he was transferred from fort bliss in february. his full name ivan antonio lopez. he's the father of three dependents. we have learned more about his second deployment, sinai, egypt, in 2007 as part of a group of multinational forces. his wife was questioned by authorities in texas last night. >> he did have two deployments, including one four month -- approximately four-month deployment to iraq as a truckdriver his records show no wounds, to direct involvement in combat. >> u.s. officials say he was being treated for

they are the same individuals that engaged in the shootout with nidal hasan back in 2009. you also are going to have military police that have the capability on that base of responding. so they are going to be your rapid deployment forces. then, of course, they can call in local law enforcement from outside the base, the fbi will be responding, atf will be responding. there will be a number of agencies that are coming but right now that search is going to be really in the hands of the uniform police and military police and probably army all that are going to be doing at the same time there is going to be a command post set up. every agency bringing in law enforcement to help search and hunt whether s.w.a.t. teams or search dogs to try to put a circle around the area where they think the second shooter might be and then close that ring in. so number one make sure that he or she doesn't get a chance to shoot anyone else and get that person in custody. >> so when you hear that this is two shooters and there is confirmation it is two shooters it automatically is some form of a

hasan now faces death by lethal injection. as authorities look for a motive, they do not believing there a link to terrorism. but more is being known about lopez, including that he served in iraq in 2011, was married, had been undergoing treatment for depression and was being evaluated for post-traumatic stress. now, fort hood was on lockdown for several hours, and traffic is loud to pass in and out. all physical trains today have been canceled. >> all right, brandon, thank you. >> any time the army loses a soldier, we all mourn. when that loss comes at the hand of another soldier, and indeed when that event occurs at the very place that had so much pain, so much anguish just 4 and a half years ago, it only adds to the sorrow and the all-consuming sense of loss that the army is feeling today. >> that's the army secretary there speaking not long ago to the army services committee. not long after secretary mchugh spoke, what did we learn about the man behind the gun? >> army secretary mchugh said that he was 34 years old as we k

hasan major nadal hasan was also a muslim or said he was. do we think that they hinge out in hindu or catholic community centers? no. they hang out in mosques. the shoe bomber frequented the mosque before he was classified as an operative al-qaeda. rewe really saying that thenal should be going into jewish temples to find terroris muslim terrorist? this is a bad joke, this is a bad "snl" skit. let's let them do their jobs finding where there are hidden terrorist cells or hidden al-qaeda cells. >> linda, how do you respond to that? >> he has not looked at this. yes, they were spying across new york city and even into places like new jersey. they have labels imams in our community radical and dangerous. they have mapped entire neighborhoods, businesses, you know, cafes, grocery store. this is not about following that one person. when we talk about the foiled plot that the new york police department supposedly foiled there were questions about those plots. where the fbi was quoted in the newspaper saying we did not engage on that case because t

in november 2009, there was a shooting where 13 were killed, and 30 wounded by nidal hasan. >> the shooting comes after the pentagon released three reports on the washington navy yard shooting, and a list of the recommendations to protect bases from gun violence. the defense secretary dited a lot of work to do. >> when we have these tragedies on the bases something does not worse. investigators will work out why the shooting happened. they may have a harder time assuring the public that this incident will not happen again. chile has been hit by a large aftershock and hundreds of people have been evacuated including the president michelle bachelet. the 7.8 magnitude tremors on wednesday off the coast near the northern city of iquique, a tsunami warning has been lifted. michelle bachelet was looking at damage from the quake that struck early on wednesday. six have been killed from the earlier quake. there's no reports of injury or damage from the latest aftershock. >> translation: the coastal border was evacuated. we, of course, continue with the cropping procedures. we thop that everyone is

that was the day that major nidal hasan got up from his station 18 and whispered in the ear of one of our civilian coders to vacate her workstation and that's when he turned around and turned on his weapon, put fist in palm and the end result, he killed 14 and wounded 32. >> and you're one of the wounded? >> in cold blood. yes, i am, sir. >> where were you shot? >> i was shot once in the head and six times to the body. >> how do you feel about the issue of gun-free zones on military installations, considering a lot of these guys, we give them guns, send them off to war, they come back here and they are not allowed to carry a gun. is that the right policy? >> negative. that's the wrong policy. and i will share with you the reason why. the war on terror started on u.s. soil so every u.s. base and military personnel are not targets. al jazeera put this out over their network. we have to be ready to defend at any given moment's notice. >> absolutely. that's a target, right? >> absolutely. >> let me go to sergeant ray for time convenience here. sergeant ray, you're often credited with savi

lama hasan, abc news, pretoria, south africa. >>> so we turn to dan abrams. three weeks into the trial, how is he doing? >> based on everything we've seen so far, he's got to be worried. i can't see how the judge isn't going to convict him of at least the lesser crime of culpable homicide. and a lot of evidence against him with the gun charges. he's got to be worried. >> so far, what is his biggest problem? >> he's saying he didn't realize that reeva wasn't in the bed. but he had to get the gun from underneath the bed. the biggest issue for him is, where was he when this all started? he said he woke up, went to the balcony. heard a noise in the bathroom, and realized someone was in there. he said, i concede, i didn't go in the balcony. this is important to evaluate, did he really believe that was an intruder there, or was it a fight? >> a really big change in testimony. some three weeks possibly to go, right? thanks. >>> and last week, we reported on those caring for america's wounded warriors. today, michelle obama and others linked arms to highlight new ini

a similar situation had taken place with major nidal hasan.e any detriment to moving somebody who is already on medication and experiencing mental difficulties. >> people with mental illness have more trouble with life transitions and change but it's difficult to tell until we have more information. martha: more to learn on this but also it's a red flag in terms of something that needs to get more attention. thanks, doctor. bill: a check of the markets. we are moving higher, 18 points. but the jobs number for the week is out as we mentioned. up about 16,000 from the previous week. tomorrow is the big number. the monthly jobs report will come out so we'll keep an eye on the markets. in the meantime the former acting chief of the cia grilled on benghazi, asked directly by law makers whether he issued bogus talking points on the terrorist attack. we'll talk to the uncle of sean smith, one of the four americans killed on that deadly night of terror. >> we have people running around who killed americans who are sipping maitais and we can't do anyth

hood shooting back in 2009 and highly hasan's motives seem clear, lopez's is much more of a mystery, and there are some very difficult days ahead for this community. >> rick levanthal live at ft. hood, rick, thank you. >>> yesterday's shooting is once again shining the light on the issue of mental health in the military. tonight correspondent john roberts looks at what is and what is not available for the people putting their lives on the line for you. >> how many of you in here know of someone who has committed suicide? >> reporter: the military is light years ahead of where it was just a few years ago in identifying and addressing mental health issues. new recruits are trained in suicide prevention while veterans now have a wide array of treatment options when they return for more. emery university's barbara rothbalm works closely with the military. >> what i've seen when we've toured the bases is if someone comes forward and they say they need help, they are getting help. i've been very pleased >> reporter: need is already enormous and growing. recent studies suggest as many as 30

five years ago in 2009, major nidal hasan killed 13 people and wounded many more. the latest shooting has some in town wondering how a gun got through the post security checks but killeen's mayor says he's not surprised. >> the truth is, you can't make sure that something like this doesn't happen again. it's impossible to search these tens and thousands of vehicles to ensure that nobody is bringing a handgun on post. you couldn't possibly do that and still have an effective workforce. >> reporter: and bill, we know since that 2009 shooting there are some new security measures in place. for instance, on post there's more of a community watch atmosphere, people looking out for each other. also, commanders have been given training to look for workplace violence and dispatchers to pinpoint the source, location of cell phone calls when they are dealing with a system like this. all of those systems were in play, bill. >> this is still a place that houses and employs over 50,000 people. it's like a city there. >> reporter: absolutely. it's a big city. yeah. >> george, tha
