2009 Fort Hood shooting

In 2009, at a place called Fort Hood, a man named Major Nidal Hasan got very angry with the people there. He was a soldier too, but instead of fighting for his country, he wanted to hurt the people he worked with. One day, he went to work with a gun and started shooting at everyone. There were a lot of people there, and many of them got hurt or even died.

When the police finally got there, they caught Major Hasan and took him to jail. People all around America were very sad about what happened, and they wanted to do something to help the people who got hurt or lost someone they loved.

In the end, Major Hasan was found guilty of doing a really bad thing, and he was put in jail for the rest of his life.
