OKLAHOMA CITY — State military officials say nearly two dozen Army soldiers and National Guard members from Oklahoma are safe following a deadly attack at Fort Hood in Texas.

Army officials say at least 12 people were killed and 31 injured when at least two gunmen opened fire Thursday at the sprawling post in south-central Texas.

Lt. Col. Max Moss of the Oklahoma National Guard says seven of nine Guard members at Fort Hood are part of the Warrior Transition Unit, which helps injured soldiers receive medical services. Moss says the other two are assigned to a training detachment.

Fort Sill public affairs officer Nancy Elliott said 19 soldiers from the Oklahoma post and now at Fort Hood had been accounted for and are safe. By Associated Press
