A U.S. Army truck driver is believed to be responsible for the shooting spree at the Fort Hood military base in central Texas which killed three people and wounded more 16 others on Wednesday.
As Reuters reports, the active-duty soldier "who was being treated for depression and anxiety, went to two buildings on the base and opened fire before he was confronted by military police, Fort Hood commanding officer Lieutenant General Mark Milley said.
"The gunman, whose motive remains unknown, then shot himself in the head with a .45-caliber pistol, he said.
"'At this time there is no indication that this incident is related to terrorism,' Milley told a news conference.
"The rampage is the third shooting at a military base in the United States in about six months that, along with a series of shootings in public places, such as schools and malls, has sparked a national debate over gun control regulations.
"Security officials said preliminary information identified the gunman as Ivan Lopez but Milley declined to identify the shooter, who is married, until his family was notified.
"The suspect's wife was cooperating with law enforcement officers, a Federal Bureau of Investigation official said, according to CNN."
