Fort Hood Shooting: Soldier With 'Mental Health Issues' Kills 3, Self
ABC News | April 2, 2014
The soldier who gunned down three colleagues today at Fort Hood before
killing himself was a combat veteran who suffered from "mental issues"
and was being evaluated for possible post-traumatic stress disorder, a
Fort Hood commander said today.
Lt. Gen. Mark Milley declined to identify the shooter during a news
briefing, but law enforcement and military sources told ABC News the
assailant was Spc. Ivan Lopez. Milley said the shooter was assigned to
the 13th Sustainment Command, which is based at Fort Hood in Killeen,
Texas, and had served four months in Iraq in 2011.
A motive had not been identified, Milley said. He added that there was
"no indication" the incident was related to terrorism, although
investigators were not ruling anything out.
