U.S. Army Spc. Logan Burnette spoke to members of the media Wednesday.

U.S. Army Spc. Logan Burnette was shot in the left hip, elbow and finger on Fort Hood in a mass shooting that left 13 dead and 39 wounded last Thursday.

On Nov. 5, the Army said Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan entered the Soldiers Readiness Processing Center and Howze Theater on Fort Hood and opened fire.

Soldiers in the facility were waiting for dental and medical treatment. The facility is used to brief troops getting ready for deployment, as well as administer mental and physical health checks.

"Not a very big area, there were probably 40 soldiers in there, plus soldiers moving around all over the place," Spc. Burnette said. "Out of nowhere a man stood up in uniform, screamed 'Allah Akbar' and proceeded to open fire on myself and the rest of my fellow soldiers sitting there all defenseless, no weapons and it happened real quick."

Spc. Burnette said he did nothing that any other soldier in the room would have done or did do.

"I noticed that there was blood all over the place, realized it was a situation that needed to be acted upon," he said. "I went to get out of the line of fire, so to do so I stood and threw a folding table at the gentleman, and I use that word loosely. Threw a table at him, and as I threw the table, I took one round to my hip."

Burnette said the bullet went through his hip, through his abdomen and both his upper and lower intestines. He said the bullet remains lodged in his hip.

	Spc. Burnette is still recovering in the Metroplex Hospital in Killeen.

"After that I fell down, not even realizing I had been hit," he said. "Tried to get back up. As I was trying to get back up, I was shot in the elbow, on my left arm and the left pinkie finger, the knuckle on my left pinkie finger.

"We heard the shooter continue to move to the opposite side of the building as he continued to fire. Very, very quick reload on that weapon, very swift and very tactical in what he was doing."

Burnette said it wasn't without the help of soldiers nearby that he was able to begin to feel safe again.

"I really wish i remembered his name. He did a lot for me there. He dragged me by the collar pulled me into the building and locked me in an office in that second building and performed first aid on me," he said. "Like I said, there were a lot of heroes that day and by no means am I going to take precedence over them. A lot of heroes still in Iraq and Afghanistan, they do not need to be forgotten too."

Some representatives from the Combat Stress Control team talked about how troops are handling the stress of the shootings as they prepare for deployment in the new year.

"You go through trying times and I think it’s important that you continue to do your job, even in the midst of something going on," Spc. Gary Cole said. "Just because something bad may happen, there are times when you go down, but you have to get back up."

Spc. Cole, with Combat Stress Control, said soldiers are starting to get on their feet and are ready to get back to their missions.

He said there's staff on post to help anyone who is having emotional issues in the wake of last week's tragedy.

U.S. Army Spc. Logan Burnette described the events of Nov. 5 at a press conference on Nov. 11. The following is a full transcript of his depiction of the shootings. Good morning. Basically my reason for coming in and speaking with you guys today is, you know, not to stand out by any means, by any other soldiers. Those were my comrades that were killed or injured on Fort Hood last Thursday and have served their country more than I have in a lot of ways. My main concern is to get passed this so that me and my family can continue our healing process, and I can move on with my military career. I am just going to give you a brief scenario of what happened and from there I will be going inside. So, I hope that this short time is enough for you guys, but after that, I would appreciate a little relaxation on my family members, the emails and phone calls, if they could subside a little bit, I would appreciate it. Basically SRP is a process of mobilization for Iraq. It is what my unit was going through at the time. We were all sitting in waiting to see our doctor for a final review of the day. During that, we were sitting in a building no bigger than that… to the hospital where the ER is. It’s not a very big area and there were probably forty soldiers in there, plus soldiers moving around all over the place. I was in the back row of probably thirty seats and, you know, just enjoying some camaraderie with some of my fellow soldiers waiting… Out of nowhere, a man stood up in uniform, screamed… and proceeded to open fire on myself and the rest of my fellow soldiers sitting there - all defenseless, no weapons and it happened real quick. We all got down as (inaudible) taught us to seek for cover, take care of our soldiers around us. When I noticed that there was blood all over the place, I realized that it was a situation that needed to be acted upon. I did nothing out of the ordinary from any other solider there. We had some soldiers throwing chairs at the person firing us, the combatant. I went to get out of the line of fire. So, to do so, I stood up, threw a folding table at the gentleman, and I use that word loosely, threw a table at him and as I threw the table I took one round to my hip, which tore through my hip on the left side, through my abdomen, through both my lower and upper intestine and it is still lodged in the right side of my hip. After the hit, I fell down, not even realizing I had been hit. I tried to get back up. As I tried to get back up, I was shot in the elbow of my left arm and the left pinkie finger, the knuckle on the left pinky finger. After that I just continued to crawl to get a cubicle close by to seek cover, stayed there for a few minutes and we heard the shooter continue to move to the opposite side of the building as he continued to fire. He was a very, very quick reloader on that weapon. He was very swift and very tactful with what he was doing. As he moved, me and two other soldiers in the cubicle, I wish I could remember their names, decided it was time for us to get out of that building. We grabbed each other, they helped me up to my feet because I couldn’t move. I started to run. As I started to run, I fell again not realizing I couldn’t use my left leg from where the bullet entered my hip at. I made it about halfway to the front door. At the front door, I fell again, and at this point, I was grabbing all straws. I set myself up again and threw of my body weight, and as a big guy that it is a lot, toward that door as hard and as fast as possible. Once I hit that front door, I began to low crawl about five meters up a hill just pushing my body forward with everything I had. There was another building parallel to the SRP building I was in. I low crawled and as I got within five meters of the door, E6, and once again, I really wish I could remember his name, he did a lot for me there. He drug me by the collar, pulled me into the building and locked me in an office in that second building and performed first aid on me. The whole time I was sitting there hearing gunshots go off all over the place. After that, eventually, you know, they thought it had subsided and we had emergency teams, first responders there that showed up. They got me on a stretcher and got me out of there as fast as they could and then got me here. So, like I said, there were a lot of heroes that day and by no means am I to take precedent over any of them. There are a lot of heroes still in Iraq an Afghanistan and they need not to be forgotten. My goal is to recover and return to active duty as soon as possible. I appreciate your time. Thank you.
