FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — A report from the U.S. Army today says Fort Hood did not have a system in place that could have anticipated a deadly rampage last April that left four soldiers dead and 16 wounded. The report says there were no clear warnings that Spc. Ivan Lopez would go on a two-block shooting spree before killing himself on April 2. Investigators have said the 34-year-old Iraq War veteran was undergoing treatment for depression and anxiety while being evaluated for post-traumatic stress disorder, but was not considered "likely" to commit violence.
