Fort Hood Tragedy

Thirteen servicemen and servicewomen were tragically killed by a gunman, and many injured earlier this week, reportedly and bizarrely by an officer in the Army, at the Army base in Fort Hood, Texas. This was obviously a senseless tragedy and "Commons," along with the nation in general, was shocked to hear about this sad news. For stopping the gunman and averting a further tragedy, praise and credit goes to female police officer Kimberly Munley, who was also severely injured during the gun battle.

"Commons" expresses condolence to the families of the deceased and hope, with prayers to the Almighty, for the speedy recovery of the injured.
