Timeline: Fort Hood shootings
On 5 November 13 people were killed and dozens injured in the worst ever mass shooting at a military base in the United States. This is how the day unfolded.



1330 local time (1930GMT): Major Nidal Malik Hasan, dressed in army uniform, enters the Soldier Readiness Center, armed with two non-military issue pistols, including a semi-automatic.

Over a period of about 10 minutes he kills 12 soldiers and one civilian and injures 30 other people.

About 400 people are at the centre, where soldiers who are about to be deployed or who are returning from operations come for medical screening.

Military police and civilian officers of the Department of the Army return fire.

Some soldiers treat their injured colleagues by ripping their uniforms to make bandages. Other soldiers close off nearby Howze Theater where about 600 people are attending a graduation ceremony for 138 soldiers.

Initial reports say the gunman is dead. It later emerges one of the victims was mistaken for the attacker. The Fort Hood compound is shut down. No-one is allowed in or out as a search is carried out for further suspects.

1830 (0230 GMT): Fort Hood declared safe.

1900 (0300 GMT): Spokesman Lt Gen Bob Cone, a base spokesmen, announces Maj Hasan is alive. He describes him as a `sole` gunman.

Maj Hasan had been shot four times by a female officer who was herself injured. He is in hospital on a ventilator, in a stable condition, and under armed guard.

2100 (0500 GMT): Fort Hood opened up but security is high.

Early Friday morning: Police search Maj Hasan`s flat in nearby town of Killeen.
