BALTIMORE, Maryland April 2, 2014 - At Baylor University's Scott N. White Hospital, a Level One Trauma Center, eight of the most seriously wounded victims of an armed assasin are being treated for their injuries. Doctors in charge of their care say two were operated on and one more is now coming out of surgery. Three are in critical condition in the Intensive Care Unit at the Hospital. Four people are dead including the man who did the shooting. All of the injured sustained a single gunshot. Injuries were to the neck, abdomen and other areas of the victims' bodies. A total of 16 were injured. Four others are dead.
The shooter is an active duty soldier and Iraq war veteran. He recently purchased a pistol. The shooter has been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. He had been transferred to Fort Hood from another military facility in Texas, thought to be Fort Bliss. He is reported to have sustained some sort of head injury while in Iraq, but the injury was not thought to be battle-related.
