FORT HOOD, Texas - The rampage at Fort Hood that left three dead and 16 wounded last week was related to the shooter's request for leave from the Texas Army post, military investigators said Monday.
Army spokesman Chris Grey did not indicate during a news conference Monday whether Spc. Ivan Lopez was granted the leave. Grey said the shooting spree Wednesday covered the equivalent of two city blocks as Lopez drove from one area to another on the Texas base randomly firing at soldiers.
