BRUSSELS (AP) — U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has called the shooting rampage at the U.S. Army's Fort Hood base "a horrific act of violence."
She refused to divulge whether U.S. investigators considered the shootings a terrorist act.
Napolitano told reporters at the European Parliament "there is much we don't know yet" about the attack that left 13 people dead and 30 wounded in Texas.
The suspected shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, is on a ventilator and unconscious in a hospital after being shot four times during the shootings.
