The man who killed three people and wounded 16 others before committing suicide at Fort Hood reportedly purchased his killing weapon at the same gun store where the first Fort Hood shooter bought his.
Unnamed law enforcement sources told both CNN and NBC News that Ivan Lopez recently bought a 45-caliber Smith & Wesson semiautomatic pistol from Guns Galore and used it in Wednesday's deadly shooting.
Talking Points Memo points out that, in 2009, Fort Hood killer Nidal Malik Hasan purchased his firearm at the same store. He used the tactical pistol to kill 13 people.
CNN reports that Lopez passed a background check and authorities don't believe the store did anything illegal by selling the gun.

No matter the situation, gun culture is central in the national plague that is gun violence.
