- Michigan Family Based At Fort Hood Wants To Know Motive Behind Massacre
-
Nov 6, 2009GeneralSome family members of soldiers involved in the shooting at Fort Hood Army Base say they are angry at both the killer…and the lack of information from the military.
WDET’s Quinn Klinefelter has more…
Michigan native Ashley Saucedo never heard the gunfire from her home on the opposite side of Fort Hood Army Base.
But she received a text about it from her husband…Private Raymondo Saucedo…before he briefly returned home to grab his body armor…and told her he had injured himself getting away from the incident.
Now Ashley Saucedo says she and many other families on the base also feel wounded…by fear…and uncertainty.
“A lot of people are angry. A lot of people just want answers…including me. I am angry…I am frustrated…I just want answers. I want to know why this happened. How could this happen? This is an Army base…it’s not supposed to happen. But the majority of people…they’re all staying in their homes today. Unless they have to go out…they’re not doing much at all.”
Saucedo says if the military has found any specific motive behind the attack…they have yet to tell soldiers’ families about it.
