From NYT:
The local police said that ballistics tests showed there was only one gunman and that none of the casualties had been hit by bullets fired by the police.
But the military and federal investigators pointedly refused to release further details on how the shootings happened, why there were initial reports of multiple attackers and why officials took several hours to correct news media reports that Major Hasan had been killed.
Most significant, officials were not prepared to say whether the attack was the act of a lone and troubled man or connected to terrorist groups, foreign or domestic.
President Obama asked the nation to avoid “jumping to conclusions” while the investigations into the Fort Hood rampage continued.
