Sharing some stuff that was shared with me:
many of our military children are going to be exposed to the tragedy at
Fort Hood as we listen to radios, watch images in newspapers, on the
Internet and TV. Please be aware of the affect this has on children.

Well, apparently both suspects were in uniform. One of the reporters is wondering if it's PTSD related. I think that's pretty much the only new thing I've heard.

WTF is wrong with people? I think it bothers me most that two people got together and decided this was a good idea.
