At least two people from Western Pennsylvania were among the victims of the shootings in Fort Hood, Texas.

Juanita Warman, 55, a military physicians's assistant, was among the 13 people who have died so far, said her sister, Margaret Yaggie of Roaring Branch, Pa.

Ms. Warman attended Pittsburgh Langley High School and put herself through school at the University of Pittsburgh, her sister said. She had spent most of her career in the military. The family was notified of her death early this morning.

Ms. Warman had two daughters and six grandchildren, her sister said.

And Army 2nd Lt. Brandy Mason, of Monessen, was injured during the shooting, according to her aunt, Sabrina Heath.

Officials say Maj. Malik Nidal Hasan, a psychiatrist who was to be deployed, opened fire yesterday on fellow soldiers at Fort Hood. He also was shot and is in stable condition.
