Number of shooters

"One gunman was reportedly in custody and another was on the loose, NBC News said. A third shooter may be involved, according to NBC News affiliate KCEN, which said the person had opened fire on the SWAT team at the base." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33678801/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/?GT1=43001 Other sources also seem to say 2 or 3. Rich Farmbrough, 21:12, 5 November 2009 (UTC).[reply]

OK we now have two in custody and one possibly at large. We should say "Two were quickly arrested, while authorities persued a possible third shooter." Rich Farmbrough, 21:32, 5 November 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Press conference said 2 in custody, 1 shooter dead. So 3 perpetrators. Dumbell24 (talk) 21:59, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

fort hood shooting _S_?

Sounds like multiple shootings, change the article title? JoeSmack ^Talk 21:44, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, because they likely worked together. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 21:45, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The title can wait to be settled, it always takes a little time. Rich Farmbrough, 22:00, 5 November 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Incidentally it will be whatever the event is generally known as. We could predict with a fair degree of accuracy, but lets not. Rich Farmbrough, 22:02, 5 November 2009 (UTC).[reply]

This might be a BrE/AmE difference? Currently watching both BBC World and CNN, BBC has "Fort Hood shooting" and "US shooting" while CNN has "Fort Hood shootings" cha ndl er 22:08, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense. I agree wwith Rich here though. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 22:13, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think BrE should have shootings (plural). But that is unimportant. Martin451 (talk) 22:23, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

suspect

ABC is reporting a suspect but no other major outlets are. Should we mention that ABC has reported a suspect (don't say name or info), but others have yet to confirm or agree? JoeSmack ^Talk 22:41, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

BBC have also reported http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8345713.stm cha ndl er 22:45, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

CNN has now chimed in according to a 'law enforcement source'. Again, I don't want to be a WP:DICK and promulgating misinformation if we don't know for sure yet. JoeSmack ^Talk 22:45, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

image

anyone have a useable image or something we can put up? maybe even something AP? not sure if we can use news supplied images as they come, but maybe theres a license that will allow it. JoeSmack ^Talk 22:43, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism doesn't seem to be an issue at this point. I'm keeping an eye on it, though, and I'm sure other admins are as well. Kafziel ^{Complaint Department} 22:49, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's started, I think semiprotection is best for now. Dumbell24 (talk) 22:52, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
