Ex-US Soldier kills 3, injures 16 in Fort Hood shooting before Shooting himself during confrontation with military policewoman

A deranged soldier dressed in combat fatigues opened fire Wednesday at Fort Hood, killing three people in a flash of violence that brought back memories of the 2009 mass shooting that left 13 dead at the Army base in Texas.
The gunman eventually killed himself, ending the carnage first reported about 4:30 p.m. But at least 16 people were wounded, four critically, in his mad rampage.
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, identified the shooter as Ivan Lopez, 34. He served in Iraq for four months in 2011 and had transferred from an unnamed Texas military base to Fort Hood in February for mental health evaluation and treatment, fort commander Lt. Gen. Mark Milley said in a news conference Wednesday night.
Lopez, who was married, was being examined to determine if he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, Milley said.
Terrorism was not involved in the tragedy, according to Milley, but he later said no motive has been ruled out. Lopez reported suffering from a traumatic brain injury during his Iraq tour, but Milley said he was not wounded in combat.
