Didn't they just arrest someone who had plotted this? I can't believe this world sometimes.

Fort Hood again: Man kills 3 and himself in shooting rampage in Texas - CNN.com

Specialist Ivan Lopez went from one building at the sprawling Texas military base to a second, firing a .45 caliber handgun -- killing three people and wounding 16 more.
Lt. General: Don't know shooter's motive
Then the 34-year-old Iraq vet put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger, ending his life and taking with him the reasons for his action.

Lopez was new on the base, having only arrived there in February. He, his wife and their small daughter moved into their apartment a little more than a week before the shooting.

He served for four months in Iraq in 2011. And while army records don't show him as having been wounded there, Lopez himself reported that he had suffered a traumatic brain injury, Milley said.
He was undergoing diagnosis procedures for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
"He was not diagnosed, as of today, with PTSD," Milley said.

Lopez carried out the killings with a privately owned gun -- a .45 caliber Smith and Wesson semiautomatic pistol he purchased after arriving in Killeen.
When he took it onto the base, he was breaking the rules.

The exact sequence of events is not entirely clear. But around 4 p.m., Lopez walked into a building at the base and opened fire. He then got into a car, fired from the vehicle, walked into another building and fired again.
He killed three and wounded 16 -- all of them were army personnel.

It took law enforcement about 15 minutes to respond to the gunfire, Milley said.
An officer confronted Lopez in a parking lot.
He reached under his jacket for his pistol, and put it to his head. He fired. Death by self-inflicted gun shot wound.
