  • Why did he crack? The best explanation we have so far? Nidal Malik Hasan, a single 39-year-old who was recently promoted to Major, was angry that he had to go to Iraq. The place he shot up was used to prepare soliders to deploy. Other suspects are in custody as well. Evidence does NOT point to terrorism. source

U.S.: The Fort Hood shooting developed quickly. Here’s a timeline.

  • A lot happened in a very short period of time. It was, in fact a very scary, very sad incident that killed many. Thanks to Dipity, a timeline-focused information portal, we can pinpoint – to the moment – that the story broke, and all the developments in the case. We wish we could take credit for coming up with this vital resource, but instead we’ll defer to Amy Webb of Webb Media Group, who put this together.source
