Army officials at Fort Hood, Texas tightened the base's gate security to restrict access after an on-base shooting early Saturday morning.
No one was injured in the shooting, but Fort Hood has suspended its Trusted Traveler Program that allowed military personnel with valid military identification to "escort or vouch for adult passengers ... in their vehicle," according to a Fort Hood news release.
The shooting occurred at approximately 12:50 a.m. in a parking lot on base, another news release states.
The shooter is suspected to be a former soldier, who was "socializing with current soldiers when he fired a pistol," according to the release.
