Ft. Hood Shooting: Senate Subpoenas Key Info

A Senate committee has subpoenaed the Obama administration for information on last year's mass shooting at the Fort Hood Army base in Texas.

Lawmakers have suggested the administration may be covering up critical details on the case, including whether the government had information that could have prevented the shooting.

The Defense Department has said it doesn't want to compromise the prosecution of Maj. Nidal Hasan a disgruntled Army doctor charged with killing 13 people.

The department last week announced actions it would take to "address gaps and deficiencies in personnel policies, force protection measures, emergency response, mass casualty preparedness and support to Department of Defense health care providers."

A panel chaired by former Army secretary Togo D. West, Jr., and retired Adm. Vern Clark, the former chief of naval operations, made 79 recommendations after the Fort hood shooting. The actions taken by the Department of Defense will follow up on 26 of the recommendations, according to a Department of Defense press release. Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense & Americas' Security Affairs Paul Stockton will make recommendations on the remaining 53 in June, according to the press release.

Details of the actions to be taken on each recommendation can be read here.
