Argument may have preceded base shooting

WASHINGTON D.C.: A troubled US soldier who shot dead three people and wounded 16 more at Fort Hood may have argued with one or more colleagues before his rampage, his base commander said on Thursday (Friday in Manila).

Lieutenant General Mark Milley told reporters that investigators were combing through the records of the gunman, Army specialist Ivan Lopez, to determine his mental state before Wednesday’s incident, which ended when he fatally shot himself.
