ANOTHER victim killed in Wednesday’s attack at the Fort Hood military base in Texas has been identified and his fiancee has described how he died. Sergeant First Class Danny Ferguson had just returned from Afghanistan when he became a victim of gunman, Army specialist Ivan Lopez.Ferguson’s fiancee, Kristin Haley is also a soldier at the Texas base. She was nearby when the shooting began, and says Ferguson was shot while blocking the door to prevent the gunman from entering a room packed with military personnel. “He held that door shut because it wouldn’t lock. It seems the doors would be bullet proof, but apparently they’re not,” Haley told News 10. “If he wasn’t the one standing there holding those doors closed, that shooter would have been able to get through and shoot everyone else.”
