Investigators say an argument may have been the pretext for a shooting by a troubled Iraq veteran that left him and three other soldiers dead at Fort Hood in Texas.

Officials have a “strong indication” that Army Specialist Ivan A. Lopez, 34, clashed with at least one fellow serviceman before the attack, base commander Lieutenant General Mark Milley said at a news briefing today. Lopez’s medical history, which included being treated for depression and anxiety, appears to be an “underlying causal factor,” he said.
