Yes, it's really sad and unfortunate. They have one shooter apprehended.

It is being discussed here:

Is this looking like homegrown terrorists or foreign terrorists?

Reports are shooters were wearing camo uniforms. Otherwise no solid details yet.

Default Sister stationed there

Some news reports say that parents can pick up their kids, not the case at this time. Base is on full lockdown, so are the schools.

Last I heard 9 confirmed dead, unsure whether they are soldiers or civilians at this time.

The shooters went to a graduation ceremony and used AK-47's, in military uniforms, not sure if they are military or not.

Sister and fam are all ok at this time.

I hope if anyone has family stationed there that your family members are well.

What a crazy world.

any excuse they can come up with to restrict our freedoms. Problem/Reaction. I hear El Presidente is going to address the "unwashed masses" tonight...

Listening to Fox news now, they just stated that the "ease" of getting military uniforms helped with this shooting. So expect restrictions on camo now in addition to more media kneejerk against AK's if true they were used. And the allknowing fbi says not "terrorist" related, what a crock.
