    A Moment of Silence in Kileen

    By katiemac  |  Posted November 9, 2009  |  Austin, Texas
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     katiemac told me, 'Many military were present and the emotions were very deep and tragic. Many were asking how this could have happened again after LUBY in 1991 (23 dead).'
    - hhanks, CNN iReport producer

    On the weekends, I work at St. Christopher's Episcopal Church in Kileen, Texas, as a religion teacher.  The picture shows 13 crosses and 13 candles and 13 white roses.



    The shooter  killed 13 and wounded at least 30 at the Fort Hood Army base in Texas where he was posted as a military psychiatrist.

     

    This is a community that has been devastated and needs all of the social and moral support. As a community and a nation we need to support our troops as much at home as abroad.

    In 1991 a shooter crashed into a Luby’s restaurant here in Kileen and killed 23.



    A student at the University of Texas at ‎Austin, August 1, 1966, killed 14 people and wounded 32 others during a shooting rampage on and around the ‎university's campus.
