Army Major Malik Nadal Hasan? WTF??

WASHINGTON — A law enforcement official says a shooting suspect at Fort Hood has been identified as Army Major Malik Nadal Hasan.

The official said Hasan, believed to be in his late 30s, was killed after opening fire at the base. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case publicly.

The official says investigators are trying to determine if Hasan was his birth name, or if he changed his name and converted to the Islamic faith at some point in his life.
 
That part of Texas is a hot spot for gunfire gone bad......

Same area was were the guy drove his truck into Luby's restaurant and killed 12 in 1991 and in 1993 Waco had a meltdown. This base is kind of in the middle.
