FORT HOOD (AP) -- The base commander at Fort Hood in Texas says soldiers who witnessed yesterday's shooting rampage reported the gunman shouted "Allahu Akbar!" - Arabic for "God is great!" - before opening fire.
Lt. Gen. Robert Cone tells NBC the suspected shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, is hospitalized in stable condition after being shot four times in the rampage that left 13 dead. Defense department officials say the Army psychiatrist was slated for deployment to Iraq.
