PF Soldier Tells Of Fort Hood Ordeal

Stratton says he was finishing his medical processing in preparation of deploying to Afghanistan in January.  Just six feet behind him, the gunman opened fire.  Stratton jumped to the floor.  He spotted his officer laying on the ground. “He was already shot in the stomach and I jumped down to help him, drag him to the door,” said Stratton. Stratton says the gunman started to reload. “He finished loading it, and as he looked at me, he aimed his weapon down at me, and I turned on him as fast as I could and tried to go low and get to the door.  But he squeezed off one round and it came through my shoulder and it hit the bone,” said Stratton. He started to bleed profusely, but hurried to get outside and out of harms way.  Several people came to his aid, trying to keep him conscious.  Moments later, more gunshots/ KREM (w/video).
