Official: 1 dead, 14 injured in Texas army base shooting

FORT HOOD, Texas — One person was killed and 14 wounded in a shooting Wednesday at the U.S. Army's Fort Hood base in Texas, and officials at the base said the shooter is believed to be dead.

The base was the scene of a mass shooting in 2009.

The details about the number of people hurt Wednesday came from a senior U.S. defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the information publicly.

Fort Hood's Directorate of Emergency Services said it had an initial report that the shooter was dead, but that the report was unconfirmed.

In 2009, 13 people were killed and more than 30 wounded in what was the deadliest attack on a domestic military installation in U.S. history.
