The soldier responsible for Wednesday's deadly shooting at Fort
Hood never saw combat in Iraq. Army Secretary John McHugh told
the Senate Armed Services Committee today Specialist Ivan Lopez
served as a truck driver in Iraq for four months. He said Lopez
bought the weapon used in the shooting off base and never registered
it with the post. Lopez took his own life after killing three
fellow soldiers at the army base, and injuring 16. Lt. General
Mark Milley says a memorial service will be held next week to honor
the victims.
