2009 Fort Hood Shooting

Army Major Nidal Hasan opened fire at an Army processing center where soldiers were taking care of preparations for overseas deployment. As a matter of practice, soldiers do not carry weapons at Fort Hood, and Hasan is said to have had two handguns with him, one of them a semi-automatic. Hasan was not charged with terrorism, but it is seen by many as a terrorist attack. He was given the death penalty. — Fort Hood Shooting (DOD.gov)
