A Palestinian uncle of the Fort Hood shooting suspect said that his nephew loved America and wanted to serve his country, but his work as a military psychiatrist drove him to tears.

The alleged gunman in Thursday's shooting at the Fort Hood military base in Texas, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, was wounded and taken into custody after an exchange of gunfire with two police officers.

At least 13 people died and more than two dozen were wounded.
