Petition to shut down Fort Hood has over 264,000 signatures
A petition has started online to push the federal government to shut down Fort Hood, and it has gained traction quickly.
The petition comes because of how Fort Hood handled the Vanessa Guillen case. The petition was started Wednesday morning and had over 264,000 signatures by 4:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon.
Guillen is a 20-year-old specialist who was serving on Fort Hood before she went missing. Fort Hood officials said she was promoted to Specialist due to time in service, effective July 1.
She was last seen on April 22. Partial human remains that are believed to be Guillen were found near the Leon River in Bell County’s Little-River area on Tuesday.
Before she went missing, she told family that she was being sexually harassed at work by her superior.
