Americans mourn shooting victims

Thursday's shooting tragedy has plunged many Americans into deep sorrow. The small town of Killeen that surrounds the base is struggling as many residents attempt to come to terms with what happened.

On Saturday, locals reached out to one another for comfort and support. Many of them are retired Army personnel.

Every cross for each of the victims.

A few kilometers away, the brother of one of those shot by Major Nidal Malik Hasan visited his sibling. The victim is in serious but improving condition.

Nate Hull says his wounded brother was shot several times.

Nate Hull, Brother of Victim, said, "He was standing in this facility where everyone was in line. He was at the back there was a door between him and the shooter and he said he heard him come in and say 'Allah hak Allah', something to that nature, and shot him in his leg and then kept shooting everybody and then walked back up on him because he was crawling and shot him two more times in the back."

Shortly after Hull visited his brother, a doctor from Scott and White Hospital in the town of Temple addressed a news conference.

Dr. W. Roy Smythe, Scott & White Hospital, said, "There is the possibility that some of these patients will be physically impaired for the rest of their life and there's certainly no doubt that many of them will be psychologically impaired for the rest of their lives. There's no doubt about that. "

But there is still much confusion surrounding the shooter's motive.

Tyrell Murphy, Barber, said, "Our hearts go out to the family and the victims of the heinous act. But, as everyone else in town, we are still puzzled by what happened and want to find out the facts."

Authorities say several of the hospitalized are still not out of danger. Meanwhile, the White House announced that President Obama will attend a memorial service on Tuesday at the base.
