Major Malik Nadal Hasan Kills 12 Soldiers and Wounds 31 at Ft Hood, TX Murder Shooring Spree

Tragic News Out of Fort Hood, TX … Mass Murder at Fort Hood

Twelve people have been killed and 30 wounded at Ft Hood in Texas in a heinous and murderous shooting spree. The gunman has been identified as an Army psychiatrist, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan who was supposed to be deployed to Iraq later this month. According to reports, Hasan feared an impending war deployment is in custody as the sole suspect in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood.

Our sympathies and prayers go out to the brave fallen soldiers and their families.

Malik Nadal Hasan

So does this mass murder rise to the level of a hate crime? Or is it an act of terror?

Hasan was initially reported as killed in the following gun battle; however, according to later reports, the Fort Hood shooter is not dead. Hasan survived his wound and is not in danger of dying.

The shooter was initially reported to have been killed, but Lt. Gen. Robert W. Cone told a late night news conference that the suspect was wounded and in custody. Cone would not say what Hasan’s medical condition was, but said the suspect was not in danger of dying.

Hasan is not talking to authorities, said Cone.

Two other soldiers were taken into custody, but were later released.

Fort Hood Presser

Deaths are a result of a single gunman, even though initially two other officers were taken into custody. They were later released. Malik Nadal Hasan is a 39 year old graduate of Virginia Tech and a psychiatrist licensed in Virginia who was practicing at Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood. He had previously worked at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. It would appear that Hasan received a poor performance evaluation while at Walter Reed, SHOCKER!

Many updates at The Jawa Report, Hot Air and Patterico Pontification.

Statement from Hasan’s family:

“Our family loves America. We are proud of our country, and saddened by today’s tragedy,” the statement said. “Because this situation is still unfolding, we have nothing else that we are able to share with you at this time.”

Interview with co-worker Terri Lee of Hasan from Fox News via Macsmind. This individual worked with Hasan at the psych ward at Fort Hood. Hasan had made outlandish comments in the past condemning and critical our foreign policy. It cannot be lost on the fact that this killer was a Muslim and had made comments like according to this individual, “maybe Muslims should stand up and fight against the aggressor.” Hasan was referring to Muslims standing up to Americans as he believed that American should not be in Iraq or Afghanistan.

One thing is for certain, there are 12 people dead and over 30 injured. Families, friends, wives, husbands and children are suffering tragic losses tonight. This is believed to be the worst attack ever at a U.S. base, said the commanding general of Fort Hood, Lt. Gen. Robert Cone. This is no time for the press, military or our political leaders to get PC on this heinous mass murder. Call it for what it was … a terror act.

Anthony Sowell: More Gruesome Finds as 4 More Bodies & a Skull Discovered on Convicted Rapist Property

Just when you thought it could not get any worse. The house of horrors continues at the Cleveland, OH home of convicted rapist Anthony Sowell. The number of bodies found is at 10 and counting … Make it 11.

Anthony Sowell, Rapist, Murderer … Hiding in Plain Sight

If the previous grim finds were not bad enough, as investigators have found four more bodies from Sowell’s back yard and a skull from his basement. The skull was actually found in a bucket in the basement.  Anthony Sowell has now been charged with 5 counts of aggravated murder. 50 year old Anthony Sowell was also charged Tuesday with rape, felonious assault and kidnapping.

The gruesome new discovery comes after 6 bodies were found last week in the Sowell’s house, bringing the totaly number of bodies found to 10. Authorities do not know whether the skull belongs to an 11th victim.

Sowell will be arraigned Wednesday.

Cadaver dogs unsuccessfully searched Sowell’s backyard throughout the day, but found the remains while using a backhoe to dig up portions of the yard, Cleveland Police Chief Michael McGrath said Tuesday night.

“It appears that this man had an insatiable appetite that he had to fill,” McGrath said.

None of the victims has been identified, Caesar said. Two victims were black, but race hadn’t yet been determined in the other four bodies, he said.

Cleveland Police Go to Arrest Sex Offender for Rape & Find 6 Bodies at Home … Anthony Sowell Arrested By Police

Here is something that police did not expect and talk about your ghoulish and heinous crimes. They go to arrest a convicted sex offender for rape and discover their suspect is a serial killer.

On Thursday, Cleveland, OH police went to the home of convicted sex offender Anthony Sowell to arrest him on charges of  felonious assault and rape. However, upon entering the home police found three bodies and expect to confirm three more.  Police found two badly decomposed bodies on the third floor of his home on Thursday and a third was discovered Friday afternoon in the basement’s dirt floor. The possible remains of three more people were found in Sowell’s house and backyard. Sowell had lived in the home since 2005.

Convicted Sex Offender: Anthony E. Sowell

Police say Sowell spent 15 years in prison for a 1989 rape. As we always say, there is no such thing as a one time rapist and they cannot be rehabilitated.

In 1989, Sowell lived on Page Avenue in East Cleveland. That’s where he lured a 21-year-old woman into his bedroom, choked her and repeatedly raped her, prosecutors said. That led to his prison sentence from 1990 until 2005.

This case once again brings up the question as to why we let serial rapist out of prison? Why are they not at least forever on probation? Since Sowell was no longer on probation, police needed a search warrant to get in.

Once released, Sowell had to register as a sex offender. He was required to report to the sheriff’s office once a year until 2008, when a change in the law caused him to report every 90 days.

He last checked in on Sept. 2. On Sept. 22, deputies did a spot check on him to verify he lived on Imperial. Sowell answered the door, but deputies did not enter the home. Since Sowell was no longer on probation, they needed a search warrant to get in.

Maybe the discovery of these 6 bodies can put some family’s pain to some rest in the case of any missing persons cases?

• Missing 43 year old Cleveland mom Nancy Cobbs left her home on April 24, 2009 and was never seen again. Family and friends of Nancy Cobbs feared one of them might be Cobbs. She lived only one street away from Sowell.

Daily Commentary - Thursday, October 29th, 2009 - DC Sniper John Allen Muhammad, Would You Like Electrocution or Lethal Injection?

• Posed with that question as to whether DC Sniper John Allen Muhammad should die from lethal injection of electrocution, the DC Sniper declined to answer. Interestingly enough, Muhammad murder victims were never given any choice. Dana says, “Can we just give him both?”

“Inmate John Muhammad was offered a choice in method of execution, and he declined,” Larry Traylor said. “Under the code, if the inmate declines to choose, it defaults to lethal injection.”

John W. Lomax III, Hakim Muhammad & Jamal Todd Arrested in the Stabbing Death of UCONN Football Player Jasper Howard

21 year old John W. Lomax III, 20 year old Hakim Muhammad and 21 year old Jamal Todd have all been arrested in the stabbing death of UCONN football player Jasper Howard. Lomax was charged with murder and conspiracy to commit first degree assault, Muhammad was charged with conspiracy to commit first degree assault and Todd was charged with falsely reporting an incident and reckless endangerment for pulling the fire alarm.

Lomax’s attorney Deron Freeman, who was on his way back from a trip to Florida because of the arrest, said in a telephone interview that Lomax was arrested at about 9:30 a.m. at his job. 

“I’m surprised, because my information is that my client had nothing whatsoever to do with the stabbing. … State police believe he knows more than he’s telling.”

Lomax’s silver Nissan Maxima was towed from the UConn campus by state police on the Sunday morning following the homicide, although at the time police did not say whether it had anything to do with the Howard case.

Not one of these individuals charged in connection with the murder and stabbing death of Jasper Howard that took place on the UCONN Storrs campus was a student of the University of Connecticut.

Lomax is being held on $2 million bond, Muhammad on $750K bond, while Todd was released on bail. Lomax and Muhammad are both expected to appear in court on October 28, 2009.
