FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — For the second time in five years, there's been a mass shooting at a Texas Army post. The senior officer at Fort Hood, Lt. Gen. Mark Milley, says a soldier killed three people, injured or wounded 16 others and then committed suicide. Milley says the shooter, who served in in Iraq in 2011, was being assessed to determine whether he had post-traumatic stress disorder. In 2009, an Army psychiatrist killed 13 people and wounded more than 30. Nidal Hassan was sentenced to death.

IQUIQUE, Chile (AP) — There has been more shaking in northern Chile. A day after a magnitude-8.2 earthquake rattled the region, a powerful 7.8-magnitude also hit Chile's far-northern coast. The late Wednesday aftershock caused buildings to shake and people to run out into the streets in the port of Iquique (ee-KEE'-kway). It was one of the cities that saw some damage from Tuesday night's big quake. Officials say it claimed six lives, but it's possible there could be more victims in older adobe structures that collapsed.
