Since I have lived in Fort Hood, Tx a few months before the shooting I wonder how did Nidal Hasan do all of this? For one it is difficult getting a gun on Fort Hoods Military Base, because of the security; and two how did he get so far and not get suspected of anything? Based on the shooting incident I believe the military bases across the country should increase their security in all of their main buildings; not just the main entrance gate and the office where the highest ranking officer works. It is disappointing that the largest military base in the United States has a not well enough security to prevent this from happening. It hurts me to know that a couple of my close friends dads or moms could have been killed due to lack of security on Fort Hood.

Is there any security anymore?
The article, "Fort Hood witness says he feared there were more gunmen," was about Maj. Stephen Richter telling the Army Medical Corps that on the day of the shooting he felt like he was being stalked by Nidal Hasan, prior of the shooting in the SRP building. I thought when I read this, "why didn't he tell anybody sooner?" If he did so it would have prevented 13 lives lost and dozens more of other soldiers injured. Maj. Richter was lucky; he remembers the red laser reflecting his eyes; just before Nidal Hasan shot he got distracted by the gunfire from the civilian police; which saved Maj. Richter's life.
