experiencing 10 to 12 overdose deaths a day. over 80 in a month. now they have cut it dramatically. they have done that with a combination of a task force, a federal, state, county and local authorities. they have drug treatment and family counselling. they got the word out that fentanyl kills. even the junkies have tests for fentanyl in their heroin. martha: like the clean needles initiative. i want to play a sound bite. watch this. i broke my back and started to take pain pills. i got worse from there. with fentanyl, i needed it more than i wanted it. were you then committing robberies to support your habit? yeah. did you steal from your
figures or than what i ve just told you. as we go along as i get those those facts i ll share them with you. that s secretary of defense chuck hagel explaining that this is still a situation very much in flux. what we do know now from a senior military official, multiple fatalities including the shooter, multiple injuries in ft. hood, texas. we believe we ve been told at least they think this began as a soldier on soldier incident, although that really leaves a broad range of possibilities for what may have happened there. i m joined here in new york by james spider marks, retired general. and spider, we were talking about this. right now on military bases, soldiers and families are trained for so many things. they re trained for separation. there s the psychological, the family counselling for how to deal with so many situations that are complicated in the military. but not this, i wouldn t think. this feels outside the realm of something that they should be prepared for.
