At 9:45 p.m. Central time, Lt. Gen. Mark Milley of Fort Hood offered a press conference. Here are the details he provided.

The shooting began at 4 p.m. from a single soldier in a medical brigade area. First responders reacted within 15 minutes. The responders engaged with the soldier who ultimately turned his gun on himself and killed himself. The soldier killed three and wounded 16 before killing himself. All victims were in the military. They do not believe the incident had any connection to terrorism but are still investigating. The weapon was a .45-caliber Smith and Wesson handgun. The weapon was not registered on base. Milley declined to reveal the soldier's name, as next of kin have not been informed yet. He said the soldier was in treatment for depression and anxiety. He was undergoing a process to determine whether he had post-traumatic stress disorder but was not yet diagnosed.
