Wednesday Tuesday, July 19th, 2011 VOA News
The U.S. Army psychiatrist charged in the deadly 2009 shooting at the Fort Hood military base in Texas is being arraigned in a military court Wednesday.
A statement from the base says Major Nidal Hasan will be asked to enter a plea at the hearing, and that the judge could set a trial date.
The 40-year-old Hasan faces 13 counts of premeditated murder for those killed in the November 2009 attack. He also is charged with 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder for the 32 people injured in the shooting.
