KILLEEN, Texas (Reuters) - The suspect in a shooting rampage at Ford Hood Army post on Thursday in which 12 people were killed and 31 wounded is in a hospital in stable condition, contrary to previous reports he had been killed, an Army general said.
"Our investigation is ongoing but preliminary reports indicate that there was a single shooter," Lieutenant-General Robert Cone told a news conference. "The shooter is not dead but in custody in stable condition."
Cone said the suspect, whom he identified as Major Nidal Malik Hasan, had been shot multiple times.
