Among the items that found was the packaging from a laser guide attachment for a handgun. The product, called LaserMax, still had its $229.99 price tag on the packaging.
Also found at the apartment: Jordanian and Israeli coins, a psychiatry exam, a prayer mat, a rubber stamp of his name, at least three bottles of lotion, perscription drugs, clothing and a full dryer.
Investigators have begun tracking what Hasan did with his money. Although he was a major in the army medical corps with no family to support, he was living like a newly-enlisted private, CBS news national security correspondent David Martin reports.
According to Army pay charts, a major with Hasan's time in service would make $93,000 a year in base pay and allowances. As a psychiatrist he would have earned specialty pay on top of that. Yet he lived in a $350 a month apartment even though he received $1,100 month in housing allowance.
Judging by the things Hasan gave away shortly before his rampage, he had few worldly possessions. One possible explanation: members of a mosque where he worshipped said he was a very generous man who helped others pay their utility bills, Martin reports.
