Hi!
I don't know if you've heard. It definitely made the news here.
You see I live in Cedar Park, well the suburbs of Austin, TX. And this tragedy took place just up the road a piece in Ft Hood. It's less than 2 hours away.
This is President Obama's address shortly after hearing about this tragedy which was
committed on one of the largest US military bases. At the time that I left work
12 were confirmed dead, 31 seriously injured. And the people that committed this terrible act were US military too.
