Multiple people have been injured and the search for the gunman is underway after a shooting at the Fort Hood Army post Wednesday afternoon.

Reports of an active shooter triggered a lockdown at Fort Hood, with local sheriff's deputies and the FBI immediately responding.

As many as eight people may be injured, and there may have been two shooters, NBC News reported. One of those is believed to be "down," while the second is believed to be at-large.

Fort Hood confirmed that a shooting occurred at the base, though the number of people injured and the severity of their injuries has not been confirmed.

Just after 5 p.m. local time, the base tweeted that all personnel were being asked to shelter in place, close doors and stay away from windows.

The shooting is believed to have taken place at the Medical Brigade Building. Local NBC affiliate KCEN-TV reported there are also reports of victims at the Battle Simulation Center.

Central Texas College' campus was evacuated due to the shooting, with all personnel and students asked to leave and all classes canceled.

Officials with the Bell County Sheriff's Office and Texas Department of Public Safety are helping to secure the perimiter of the base.

EXCLUSIVE: The FBI is searching for a recent Army recruit believed to be planning a "Fort Hood-inspired jihad against U.S. soldiers," FoxNews.com has learned.

The alert, whose legitimacy was confirmed by military and law enforcement officials, stated that a man identified as Booker had told friends of his "intention to commit jihad." Booker, who is also known as Muhammad Abdullah Hassan, was recruited by the U.S. Army in Kansas City, Mo., in February 2014 and was scheduled to report for basic training on April 7. But he was discharged last week, apparently after law enforcement authorities learned of his alleged plan.

Sad thing is, if I read correctly, guns aren't permitted at Fort Hood. So someone who wouldn't know that would hear about this incident and think, how can a gunmen on an Army base kill so many people without being stopped. Easy, there's no one to stop him.

spent a few months there in early 90's and there was plenty of guns. What is sad is the condition he was in and still had access to the guns.

Hmm ok, this is what I read on CNN:

In addition, people are not allowed to walk around with guns on a military base. They are required to store them in an armory.

He spent four months driving trucks and never saw combat on his ONE deployment. after he found out he was being phased out he then claimed PTSD and other stuff. In order to met the criteria for PTSD your stress must be linked to a traumatic event, he didn't have one. He was an off the rocker scum bag, i don't think this was a PTSD case at all.
