(CBS/ AP) Officials say a shooting suspect at Fort Hood has been identified as Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who they say was an Army mental health professional.

A law enforcement official said Hasan, believed to be in his late 30s, was killed after opening fire at the base. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case publicly.

A source tells CBS News investigative producer Len Tepper that Hasan is a licensed psychiatrist in Bethesda, Md. He is a drug and rehab specialist who got his Virginia psychiatry license July 12, 2005.

It was not known whether he was treating people at the base.

Officials says it was not clear what Hasan's religion was, but investigators are trying to determine if Hasan was his birth name or if he may have changed his name and converted to the Islamic faith at some point.

According to the Army Times, Hasan was promoted to Major, medical corps on April 22, 2009.

You don't like the facts...that's your problem. I guess you have no problem with people making stupid jokes about it though....sigh
As for the facts:
A colleague of his is on Fox News now. He was an anti-war supporter and was "happy" when Muslims killed Americans. But he was a Major in our army? What?

A rich, Virginia born, American-Muslim

Huh? The more that comes out makes it clear that he was an anti-war Muslim that spoke about that Muslims shouldn't fight Muslims and that the Muslims should rise up, etc. Unfortunately my hunch was correct.

Yep.

Hope he gets life in solitary confinement. Death would be too good for him.
