HOUSTON (Reuters) – At least seven people were killed and 12 wounded in a shooting at a U.S. Army base in Fort Hood, Texas, on Thursday, local media reported.

One gunman was in custody and another was on the loose, local media reported.

One station said there was a third shooter involved.

The attack happened at the Soldier Readiness Center at Fort Hood, according to the FOX 4 television station.

The base is currently in lockdown mode, according to Fort Hood's website.

Fort Hood is halfway between Austin and Waco, about 60 miles from each city, in Texas.

This isn't at Luby's but on post. Seems odd that there's more than one shooter. I saw report claiming the shooter was wearing a major's uniform but the whole story seems garbled from initial sketchy reports.

They mentioned the theater on the 1st CAV side of post but I used to live across from the other the one on the 4th ID side.

I just looked at CNN again. There is a bit of an update.

(CNN) -- Two gunmen in military uniforms shot and killed as many as nine people and wounded as many as 20 at Fort Hood in Texas on Thursday, officials said.

One of the shooters has been apprehended, Fort Hood spokesman Sgt. Maj. Jamie Posten told CNN.

"At this point we're looking for the other shooter," Posten said. Asked for a description, he said, "we're trying to develop that information."

The shooters were wearing military uniforms, but it was unclear whether they were soldiers, said U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas

President Obama has been informed of the incident, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters.
