FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) - Many of the wounded soldiers and families of those killed during the Fort Hood shooting rampage are urging the government to declare it a terrorist attack.
They say soldiers injured or killed deserve fair benefits and Purple Heart eligibility. But that won't happen until the shooting is declared a terrorist attack.
A group of about 160 people affected by the November 2009 shooting on the Texas Army post released a video Thursday expressing their frustration.
Staff Sgt. Shawn Manning, who was shot six times that day, says he's upset that the Defense Department has referred to the shooting as workplace violence.
