FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) - Several hundred people gathered at a base stadium where the Army's chief chaplain offered prayers for families and victims of the shooting rampage that left 13 dead and 30 wounded at Fort Hood, Texas.
Chaplain Douglas Carver told those at the Friday night vigil -- many dressed in fatigues and black berets -- to "remember to keep breathing ... keep going."
God Bless America and Amazing Grace were sung as husbands wrapped their arms around their wives, babies cried and old men in wheelchairs bowed their heads.
It was the first community gathering since the killings.
