CBS 19 - The Eye of East Texas News - Ft. Hood shooting suspect conscious, talking
Member Center:
FORT HOOD, Texas (CNN) -- Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the suspect in last week's mass shooting at the Fort Hood Army post, is conscious and talking, according to a spokesman for the army hospital where he is being treated.
Authorities have not identified a motive in Thursday's attack that left 13 dead and 42 others wounded.
Hasan, a 39-year-old licensed Army psychiatrist who worked at a hospital on the post, has been identified as the suspected shooter. He was shot several times following the attack. On Sunday, he was listed in critical but stable condition and in intensive care at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas.
Hasan's ventilator was removed over the weekend, and he began talking afterwards, hospital spokesman Dewey Mitchell said.
He is speaking with hospital staff, but Mitchell was unable to say whether Hasan has been speaking with Army investigators.
