WASHINGTON – At least seven people were killed and 20 wounded in a pair of shootings Thursday at the Fort Hood, Texas, the Army said.

An army spokesman said the base was locked down after the shootings. Another official told The Asociated Press that at least one shooter had been caught.

The FBI was sending agents to the scene.

Army spokesman Lt. Col. Nathan Banks says the first shooting began at about 1:30 p.m. at a personnel and medical processing office. The facility, called a Soldier Rating and Processing center, handles administrative details for soldiers.

Banks says two shooters were apparently involved. There was no immediate word on who they were, nor on identities of the dead.

Banks says the second incident took place at a theater on the sprawling base.

Another Army official identified that site as the Howze Theater.

That official, who requested anonymity to discuss an evolving incident, said a graduation had been scheduled for 2 p.m. at the theater.

As the White House gathered details on the shooting, President Barack Obama was still planning to speak late Thursday afternoon at the closing of a White House conference with the American Indian leaders, being held at the Interior Department. Obama was running behind in departing the White House, though.

It was not clear whether the president would address the shooting during his appearance at the event.

Homeland Security spokeswoman Sara Kuban said officials are still collecting information on the shootings. "DoD, DHS, FBI and other members of the intelligence community are assessing and gathering facts about the shooting," Kuban said. "Because this is early in this event, we cannot at this time confirm motives behind these shootings."

(CNN) -- Two gunmen in military uniforms shot and killed as many as nine people and wounded as many as 20 at Fort Hood in Texas on Thursday, officials said.

One of the shooters has been apprehended, Fort Hood spokesman Sgt. Maj. Jamie Posten told CNN.

"At this point we're looking for the other shooter," Posten said. Asked for a description, he said, "we're trying to develop that information."

The shooters were wearing military uniforms, but it was unclear whether they were soldiers, said U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas

President Obama has been informed of the incident, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters.

This just makes me sad that soldiers have to die like this

That is terrible. It very well could be someone just wearying military gear which can be purchased online. Truly a shame and I hope the punishment is severe, to the fullest extent. Once again, I have no mercy for cold blooded killers.

This is a Live link to the news at this time.....2 suspects have been detained........fixing to have a news conference on the situation...........

yes it is and I leave for basic in 14 days

Well my GD cable just went out and I can't watch this. This is sad, frightening...I was stationed at Fort Hood many years ago.

the death total is now up to 12

Oh gosh, I just finished watching it how terrible. How in the world can this happen on a military base? My heart goes out to all of them. Whoever it is, civilian, military, they deserve what they get.

May God watch over all of them and help them through their pain.

12 dead (including one gunman)
30 wounded
2 gunmen in custody

That is so sad!!
