As many as four people were killed and 14 were wounded after a gunman in uniform opened fire at Fort Hood on Wednesday, shutting down the sprawling Army base and inciting a huge police response, a member of Congress said. The shooting echoed the deadly rampage carried out there in 2009 by an officer who turned on his fellow soliders.
Officials at Fort Hood released few details about the shooting but said that it appeared that the gunman was among the dead.
On a conference call with reporters, Mr. McCaul said the authorities had identified the suspect as Ivan Lopez but that a motive for the shooting remained unclear. The shooter was wearing an Army uniform, but it was unclear whether he was on active duty, Mr. McCaul said.
In Chicago, President Obama described the shooting as a fluid situation that White House and Pentagon officials were closely following. “We are going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened,” the president said. “We’re heartbroken something like this might have happened again.”
