(FOX News) — A shooting at Ft. Hood that reportedly left at least four dead — including the shooter — and 14 injured Wednesday was a “soldier on soldier” incident without any preliminary terrorism link, a senior Department of Homeland Security source told FoxNews.com.
A senior law enforcement official tells Fox News that at least four people, including the gunman, died in the shooting and 14 were injured, but there was no immediate information on the condition of the injured.
The Homeland Security source, who stressed the information was preliminary, added that there was “currently no [counter terrorism] nexus” and said it appears the shooter killed himself.
Senior U.S. officials confirmed the shooter’s identity as Spc. Ivan Lopez, who was based at Ft. Hood.
President Obama said the U.S. government will get to the bottom of what happened in the shooting, and said officials are doing everything they can to make sure everyone is secure.
“We’re heartbroken that something like this might’ve happened again,” Obama said.
