FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) - Soldiers and others are attending church services at Fort Hood, Texas, and in neighboring Killeen to pray for the man authorities say went on a shooting spree and to honor the victims.
An Army chaplain exhorted parishioners to pray for meaning in the worst massacre on a military facility in the United States.
Col. Frank Jackson expressed frustration Sunday as members of the sprawling Army post "search for motive, search for meaning, search for something, someone to blame."
He urged the congregation to "focus on things we know."
Jackson asked the approximately 120 people gathered in the post chapel to pray for the 13 dead and 29 wounded in Thursday's attack.
He also asked them to pray for suspected shooter Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan and his family "as they find themselves in a position that no person ever desires to be."
