Major Madness

The what, where and when are shocking... A heart of darkness causing mass casualties in the heart of Fort Hood, the free world's largest Army base.

The why may come later. Discerning motives are the trickiest part. But we always want to know... Forensic psychology is offered as the number two option on Google's auto complete after 5 letters.

But how does a mental health professional, a specialist in disaster psychiatry, become so crippled inside without ever having been deployed to a war zone himself? How could he turn to fratricide as a solution to his inner conflict? How could he turn into a mass murderer and someone who risked "suicide by cop" rather seeking help for himself?


Questions abound... Answers may come.
