Fort Hood.
The name has been seared in our collective memory since a soldier went on a deadly shooting spree there in 2009.
On Wednesday, it happened again.
Specialist Ivan Lopez went from one building at the sprawling Texas military base to a second, firing a .45 caliber handgun -- killing three people and wounding 16 more.
Then the 34-year-old Iraq vet put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger, ending his life and taking with him the reasons for his action.
Authorities are downplaying terrorism -- although they haven't ruled it out until the investigation is complete.
"There are initial reports there may have been an argument in one of the unit areas," Lt. Gen Mark Milley, the post's commanding general, told reporters late Wednesday.
