does anyone remember the press announcing a different name of the gunman in yesterday's shooting at Fort Hood?

I was watching online and thought I remember seeing the shooter's name which was not middle eastern. 2 hours later I went back to the original page to reread it, using my history, and saw where the page had been updated 12 minutes earlier. This time the name was Hasan.

    Really?

    "Despite the fact that Fort Hood gunman Nidal Malik Hasan was a psychiatrist, the media has failed to even raise the question of whether he was taking psychotropic drugs before he gunned down over a dozen of his colleagues during yesterday’s tragic rampage, a hefty indictment of how the establishment rushes to blame politics, religion, gun rights, or any other factor for mass shootings in order to hide the direct link between such massacres and the use of anti-depressant drugs.

    It has been confirmed that Hasan was an Army psychiatrist at Fort Hood. Psychiatrists have a history of “self-medication” because of the easy access they have to psychotropic drugs."

    There's ALWAYS a LOT of confusion reported in the first hours after an Attack like That... I mean- look how long it took the Media to figure out the shooter was still Alive ! That's just the nature of the Situation...

    Not really, but in the heat of the moment and during a crisis like that its not unusual for the news to get facts wrong. They also reported he was dead.

    I recall back on 911, there were reports coming across my local TV news station in Ohio that a airliner had been hijacked and crashed outside of Dayton. Our local newscasters were swearing to it, they sent out a crew to where the plane supposedly went down. Turned out to be nothing there but a pile of trash someone was burning on a small farm.

    There still are conspiracy nuts who claim the military shot down a mystery plane over Ohio that day.

    What you saw was likely the shooter being misidentified at first.
