RANDOM LAKE, Wis. (AP) — The family of a Random Lake soldier injured in the Fort Hood shooting says Amber Bahr was shot in the back and is undergoing tests.

Lisa Pfund says she was relieved when the 19-year-old Bahr finally called Thursday evening. Bahr told her she went running when shots rang out, and didn't realize she'd been hit until she went to an emergency room.

Pfund says it's a big relief to hear her daughter is OK, especially after the call she got from doctors after the shooting revealed few details.

Pfund was previously told her daughter was shot in the belly.

Authorities say Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan opened fire at the Texas base Thursday, killing 13 and injuring 30. Hasan was shot four times during the rampage. A military spokesman says he is hospitalized in stable condition.

I make no apologies. If you have a problem with what I am saying, go to Ft. Hood and take a look at the REAL VICTIMS.

Those who feel threatened by my words, and don't want me uttering them at all should just step aside, because now is not the time for cowardice. Political correctness is paralyzing our country.
We have become so politically correct that the MSM is more concerned about focusing on the pre-shooting stress on the killer. Portraying him as a victim is just despicable.
It is what it is: an Islamic jihadist attack.
We have seen it happen many times before, too bad our leaders are too spineless to do anything about it. That's what leads me to believe it will only become more popular.

Definitely a substantive response TheOne...I am truly impressed.
The rage comes from Liberals such as yourself, so quick to throw around the BLAME. It's so funny to see the hypocrisy now that "The One" is screwing up EVERYTHING he touches.

For a split second I was wondering about the source of your stroke inducing rage dub, but you answered for me in your previous posts.

Now I understand. Your pent up frustration from the "W" years finally exploded.

It really is true, you must hit bottom before you can start the journey back up.

I wish you well in your travels.

-EXACTLY MY POINT! OBAMA "used an occasion like this" to give a 2 minute shout out, to his Liberal homies! I know it sure sounds like "political grandstanding" to me. And he sure didn't have his "mind on the victims and their families" Do liberals grieve by giving shout outs? Sounds nice to me.
THANK YOU FOR FURTHERING MY POINT. You're right, it was definitely tacky in the extreme.

Why thank you TheOne! ObaMAO is my newest. I really like your name, it reminds me of George Bush.

I cannot believe all you hypocrite loser Libtard geniasses. Sheep to the slaughter, it's truly amusing watching the hypocrisy pour out of your nasty little troubled mouths.
DO YOU REMEMBER THE BUSH YEARS? Probably not, you were too busy collecting all your welfare checks, murdering babies, trying to take my religion and guns away, and telling ME how to live my life.
RIGHT AFTER 9/11 the MSM did the SAME THING to BUSH! I know it's different in your warped delusional view, but it really isn't. Get a grip on reality.
And if you're going to insult me personally, try and come up with something better than idiot or tool. Use your imagination!
Do you like the new, nasty, pissed off breed of Republican? It is a blast watching the heads spin, while people wonder why their "where are your Conservative ethics?" argument doesn't work. Get used to the same treatment we had to deal with for six years.
And bring some SUBSTANCE TO YOUR ARGUMENT, or you will bore me into ignoring you.

"showed he cared about the military by sending them overseas to die in a country that never attacked us and never had the nuclear weapons that the administration claimed they had"

When was the last time thesee cowards attacked us at home? Take the fight to the enemy and keep it away from here. Our military signs up volountarily you fool we don't force anyone to bravely and courageously serve their country. You should thank those brave men and women that you can state your opinion here today.

Sure takes some obsession to criticize a standard presidential response amid tragedy. Bush, of course, showed he cared about the military by sending them overseas to die in a country that never attacked us and never had the nuclear weapons that the administration claimed they had. Well, that's one way to care about your military.

My prayers to all our soldiers, and I am so sorry to hear about the other Wisconsin solider who died. As for the other comments, I am sorry to say shame on you, again this is about our children protecting our country all I have to say to you go somewhere else and post your crap.

Remember 9/11 when Bush was criticized for reading a book, allegedly before he even knew about the attack? All over the "News".
Obamao knew all about it, and gives a 2 minute Pop Culture screaming "SHOUT OUT". Will we see a story on this one from the ever so truthful and un-biased main stream media? Ha!

Watch our Commie in Chief give a two and a half minute shout out before he addresses the 13 dead and 30 wounded in Texas! 2:27 into his speech (supposedly about the shooting) he decides he's done propagandizing us.

BUSH would have given a crap! He would have been visibly choked up. Not this monster, he doesn't even care. He sure is enthusiastic during his shout out! Then he goes into teleprompter zombie mode for the boring subject of the mass murder of AMERICAN HEROES

Latest reports indicate this guy is alive, paralyzed, and on a ventilator.

I hate to say this but someone on this blog will defend this guy by saying;

1. If the war wasn't going on this would have happened
2. He was being persecuted becasue he was a muslim so he has a right to do this.

Initial reports are indicating that he had some personal issues with patients and some soldiers due to him being Muslim.
