The U. S. Army now confirms at least 12 people are dead, another 31 wounded in a mass shooting at the massive fort hood army base near Waco, Texas.
General Bob Cone confirms one gunman is dead and was himself, in the army, as are two other suspects in custody.
"Shooter was killed.... two additional soldiers apprehended," he said.
An army spokesman at the pentagon says the shootings began at a personnel and medical processing center at Fort Hood.
"It's a terrible tragedy, it's stunning," said Cone.
President Obama weighed in during a late afternoon speech in Washington. "My immediate thoughts and prayers are with the wounded and the fallen and with the families of the soldiers..."
Neither the identities of the two soldiers in custody nor those of the victims have been released yet.
