Congressman John Carter (TX-31) is en route to Fort Hood and is expected to arrive in Killeen by late morning.

The Congressman plans to meet with Army officials to be briefed on the latest findings in the shootings investigation, and to determine what steps can be taken to help comfort the wounded and the families of those who lost their lives in yesterday’s tragedy.

Congressman Carter will attempt to accommodate media interview requests during the day as time allows, and plans to return to Washington this evening for the upcoming House vote on healthcare reform scheduled for Saturday.
