12 dead, 3 shooters, more than 30 wounded.
One of the shooters, an apparent Jordanian emigre, was a  psychiatrist AND A RECENT MUSLIM CONVERT.
Said one of my 5th Listeners:

Please not a US Major ?  Why would “we the people”  worry about a U.S, ARMY  Major?  
 I promise you that I, as a former officer of the US military,  hope this information  is wrong. 
Is it time to take another look at the nasty business of profiling?
No Officer I ever have known would ever kill his or her own troops. This murder of our finest is in no way anything I can comprehend.
