Hasan to be Charged with 13 Counts of Murder

Military officials confirmed that Major Nidal Malik Hasan will be charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder stemming from last week's shooting rampage at Fort Hood. Other charges could be forthcoming.

The 39-year-old is accused of killing 12 soldiers and one civilian in the Nov. 5 rampage at the post's Soldier Readiness Center. Twenty-eight others sustained injuries. Investigators believe only one person is involved in the shooting.

Officials say many of the victims were either about to be deployed, or had just returned from combat.

The suspect has retained civilian council and is currently under pre-trail restrictions while he recovers in the hospital, said Chris Grey, an Army spokesman for the Criminal Investigation Division at Fort Hood. This means Hasan is confined to a contained, specified area.

In a press conference, Grey said two military police officers, one male and one female, stopped Hasan during the rampage.

He also said Hasan was not at the Soldier Readiness Center for directed activity or military business.

Grey said autopsies on the victims were completed earlier this week by the armed forces medical examiners office.

Investigators have not been able to speak to witnesses because many of them remain hospitalized. Twelve are still in the hospital with one in Intensive Care. All are listed in stable condition.

Investigators are still processing the crime scene at Fort Hood. This area includes the Soldier Readiness Center, two large parking areas, four buildings and surrounding areas. There is no timeline for when the crime scene will be released.

On Tuesday, Fort Hood held a memorial service for those who died in the attack. Thousands were in attendance, including President Barack Obama.

The Associated Press is reporting that some of Hasan's behavior, coupled with his overly zealous religious views, worried doctors overseeing his training, but saw no evidence that he was a threat.

Lt. Col. John Rossi said Fort Hood has received over $165,000 in donations since the attacks last week.
