There are reports of a shooting attack at Ft. Hood Army Base. Seven are dead, 12 wounded. One gunman is reported in custody. There is a search for another gunman.

MSNBC is reporting that officials have surrounded a PX. They are also reporting that the suspect has a high-powered sniper rifle.

The base's website says the base is on lock down. We'll report more details as we get them.

The shotting vacinity is near multiple acers of woods around an outdoor running track, old paint ball trails and a golf course. It could take hours to flush out an armed person.

Not really. Have you ever been to Ft Hood ? I think it is the largest military post in the country , in terms of personnel and acreage. The place is huge.

They have so many resources available to use depending on how hard they want to 'squeeze' him. Helicopters, CS (tear gas ), 50k soldiers stationed on base, police dogs, snipers, night vision goggles.........he is not going anywhere.

And I suggest they not feed the dogs before they do it.
