A picture is beginning to emerge of 34-year-old Army Spc. Ivan Lopez, who officials have said is the man who opened fire Wednesday at Fort Hood, killing at least three people and wounding another 16 before apparently taking his own life.
As details about him emerge, and if some things that officials say turn out to have been mistaken, we'll update. Meanwhile, here's a quick look at what's been reported so far:
-- On Morning Edition, NPR's Tom Bowman said Lopez was "a military truck driver ... married with a family" and that he had been assigned to Fort Hood in February.
According to Fort Hood's commander, Lt. Gen. Mark A. Milley, the gunman (who Milley did not name) was being treated for depression and anxiety before Wednesday's incident.
There's no record that Lopez was wounded during a 2011 tour in Iraq, NPR's Tom Bowman said, but the soldier had "self-reported a traumatic brain injury" — possibly a sign that he had suffered a concussion at some point.
-- USA Today says "Lopez arrived at the installation in February from another Army post and had not been assigned to one of the Army Wounded Transition Units, military units that are set up to care for wounded, injured or ill soldiers. Those assigned to these units have case managers who help them track appointments and manage their medical treatments."
-- The Dallas Morning News writes that Lopez served in Iraq for four months. "Police spent Wednesday night searching his apartment in nearby Killeen," the newspaper adds.
-- Gen. Milley told reporters Wednesday "that the .45-caliber Smith and Wesson hand gun used in the shooting was recently purchased locally, and that the suspect was not authorized to carry a concealed weapon," Stars and Stripes writes.
-- The gunman "was in uniform at the time of the shooting," according to KWTX-TV in Waco.
