Hasan went on a shooting rampage at Fort Hood in [[Texas]] that left 14 dead (a number that includes one unborn child) and 30 wounded. The shooting took place at 1:30&nbsp;p.m. November 5, 2009 at the post's Soldier Readiness Center. Hasan came to the attention of law enforcement officials because of his Internet postings about suicide bombings and other threats, including posts that equated suicide bombers to soldiers who throw themselves on a grenade to save the lives of their comrades.
