yo

Yo, I heard there is more than 1 shooter.--150.216.62.225 (talk) 23:38, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request for semi-protection

A lot of vandals are beginning to attack the page (seemingly from 4chan) --Zrowny (talk) 00:13, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

shooter identification

The [Hinterland Gazetter] used as a source for the name of assailant is a blog -- we should wait until a mainstream news source reports the name. NE Ent 00:27, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Does this work? ~Helicopter Llama~ 00:29, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Move request made

I have created a disamb page for Fort Hood Shooting and have made a move request over at Talk:Fort Hood shooting#Requested Move. I feel the two articles should be dated to differ the two events. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:43, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This seems premature to me - I can see little evidence that this latest shooting will meet Wikipedia notability guidelines, and I accordingly expect the article to be deleted. AndyTheGrump (talk) 00:48, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well Obama spoke out against the shootings, and they are on a military base, this was not just some domestic violence shooting. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:51, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, that it's unlikely that a shooting at a military base with multiple casualities will stand much chance of being deleted. Its not your every day occurrence.--70.49.72.34 (talk) 03:32, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

At the time I made my post, it was unclear that there had been any casualties beyond the gunman. With four dead, notability guidelines will have been met, I would assume. AndyTheGrump (talk) 03:51, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Better Image

A more detailed map instead of the one used by the last shooting - TwoFace — Preceding unsigned comment added by TwoFace728 (talk • contribs) 08:06, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
