US President Barack Obama has praised the heroism of soldiers and civilians in their response to the deadly attack at a US army base in Texas.
In his weekly address, he says that although the shootings showed the “worst of human nature” they had also brought out “the best of America”.
Maj Nidal Malik Hasan, a US-born Muslim, opened fire at Fort Hood on Thursday, killing 13 people.
The 39-year-old army psychiatrist was shot four times and remains in a coma.
About 30 people were also hurt in the attack, with some still carrying life-threatening injuries.
Hundreds of people gathered in a stadium at the Fort Hood base on Friday night for a candlelit vigil.
Barrac Obama said the shooting was “one of the most devastating ever committed on an American military base”.
But he added: “We saw soldiers and civilians alike rushing to aid fallen comrades; tearing off bullet-riddled clothes to treat the injured; using blouses as tourniquets; taking down the shooter even as they bore wounds themselves.
