The Army has released an official timeline for the recent shooting at its Fort Hood base in Texas. According to officials, Specialist Ivan A. Lopez drove his own car to three separate buildings over a period of eight minutes beginning around 4 p.m., and shot at least 35 rounds at fellow troops. Those shots ended up killing three unarmed soldiers, and wounding 16 others who were either standing outside, driving a car, or sitting at desks.

Upon being confronted by a police officer, he shot himself in the head and died.
