Share Print Font: + - The Fort Bliss commander says two people are dead after a shooting at a small grocery store on the West Texas Army post.

Col. Joseph A. Simonelli Jr. declined to discuss details or identify the victims of the Monday afternoon incident.

Simonelli said the area was roped off for an FBI investigation, but the sprawling facility next to El Paso was never under lockdown.

Simonelli says the shooting was reported about 3 p.m. local time and authorities responded in about three minutes.

...Insert tasteless, politically incorrect coment here.....

A lot of people joined the Army because they were promised careers and an education. What they found out was that they were in the military.
That coupled with low pay and long deployments makes for a very stressful environment. Plus the Armed Forces have been lowering their standards to get enough recruits.

I think activism trying to prove a point is technically terrorism.

Like the man who flew the plane into the government building making a point. I think that is called a suicide bombing.

Some of these single women on here could turn Cougar and help those boys lose some stress.

Do yer part to support the Troops!

Yea, because they probably shot the wrong person!

The brothel's here do, soldiersw returning home get freebies! Or so I've heard........
