Chris Haug, a Fort Hood spokesman, said Friday that base personnel were attempting to close a road because it had started to flood when the soldiers’ vehicle overturned. “It was a tragic accident where we lost five of our soldiers,” said Maj. Gen. John Uberti, Fort Hood’s Deputy Commanding General. Ivan Lopez shot and killed four soldiers, including himself, and wounded 14 others in what was deemed a workplace violence incident. Last year, four soldiers were killed when their Black Hawk helicopter crashed on a routine training mission. Rescue crews worked through the night Thursday and all of Friday, combing flooded woods and engorged streams.
