PITTSBURGH (AP) — A western Pennsylvania soldier is reportedly among those wounded in the shooting rampage at Fort Hood.
Sabrina Heath, of Monessen, told KDKA-TV on Friday that her niece Army 2nd Lt. Brandy Mason was shot in the thigh.
Heath said Mason made a brief call Thursday. Mason said she was at the a Soldier Readiness Center waiting her turn when the suspect came in and opened fire.
Heath says Mason spent 14 months in Iraq and was never shot at.
Heath said Mason visited Monessen, which is about 20 miles south of Pittsburgh, two weeks ago to see her 17-year-daughter, who was a member of Monessen High School's homecoming court.
