Terror at Fort Hood

Seven dead, 20 injured - and at least two, possibly three, gunmen - at a military base in Texas.

Not much more is known at this stage, but if more than one shooter was involved, it was almost certainly planned in advance. (Not necessarily a plot by a larger organization, though - Columbine also involved two shooters.)

Update: the Austin American-Statesman has started a twitter feed with updates. One shooter is alive and in custody.

Update II: according to @chucktodd, NBC says at least one of the gunmen in custody is a military officer.

Update III: many, many more updates at Hot Air. Some disturbing stuff - but remember the 24-hour rule.
