Fort Hood shootings suspect alive; 12 dead

So we have another thrice-named gunman. What happened to the initial reports of two gunmen, one dead and the other on the run?

A soldier suspected of fatally shooting 12 and wounding 31 at Fort Hood in Texas on Thursday is not dead as previously reported by the military, the base’s commander said Thursday evening.

A civilian officer who was wounded in the incident shot the suspect, who is “in custody and in stable condition,” Army Lt. Gen. Robert Cone told reporters.

“Preliminary reports indicate there was a single shooter that was shot multiple times at the scene,” Cone said at a news conference. “However, he was not killed as previously reported.”

A soldier who asked not to be identified told CNN that an e-mail went out to all base personnel instructing them not to speak to the media.
