It's my understanding the guy is in a medical induced coma. He did use a 5.7 fn pistol. The 5.7 is a very small diameter cartridge with a high velocity. It was designed, I think, to punch holes in bullet proof vests. I could be wrong.
As I'm writing this there is a lot of speculation about the army being broken, stress experienced by our troops, and screening people who enter the armed forces for mental instability. I don't believe any of this has anything to do with what has happened at fort hood.
I feel this is the result of a man who put his religious convictions ahead of his country. I feel that when push came to shove he simply decided he was a muslim first and an american second. Worse, it's becoming clear there were warning signs that were ignored. Why, I can't say at this time but I'm already wondering if PC considerations were at play. I'm guessing time will tell all.
