By: American Decency Staff

he commanding officer of the Army's 3rd Corps at Fort Hood confirmed at a press conference Wednesday night that the shooter was a male soldier who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after killing three other military personnel with a .45-caliber Smith & Wesson semi-automatic pistol that had been purchased recently.

Lt. Gen. Mark A. Milley said there was no indication the shooting was related to terrorism, but he was not ruling anything out in the investigation.

The number of those injured increased to 16, all of which, according to Milley, were military personnel.
