Fort Hood Shooter Charged

It’s Official

13 counts of murder, 32 counts of attempted murder.

Nidal Malik Hasan, the alleged gunman in the Nov. 5 Fort Hood shootings, has been charged with 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder. The suspect has already been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder; the additional charges, according to the Army, stem from the 30 soldiers and two civilian police officers who were injured in the massacre. Since the murder charges already carry the death penalty, the additional charges of attempted murder may not affect the suspect's ultimate punishment, according to the Hasan's lawyer.
