The 13 people killed when an Army psychiatrist allegedly opened fire on fellow soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas included several people in the same profession as the accused shooter: a father of three with ties to Laos whose family had a history of military service, a civilian who had returned to work a week after suffering a heart attack, and a psychiatric nurse who had arrived at Fort Hood a day before the shooting.

The victims were Michael Grant Cahill, Francheska Velez, John Gaffaney, Aaron Thomas Nemelka, Justin M. DeCrow, Michael Pearson, Jason Dean Hunt, Amy Krueger, Kham Xiong, Juanita Warman, Russell Seager, Libardo Eduardo Caraveo and Frederick Greene.

• Caraveo, 52, of Woodbridge, Va., arrived in the United States in his teens from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, knowing very little English said his son, also named Eduardo Caraveo.

He earned his doctorate in psychology from the University of Arizona and worked with bilingual special-needs students at Tucson-area schools before entering private practice.

His son told the Arizona Daily Star in Tucson that Caraveo had arrived at Fort Hood on Wednesday and was preparing to deploy to Afghanistan. Eduardo Caraveo spoke to the newspaper from his mother's Tucson home.

His father's Web site says he offered marriage seminars with a company based in Woodbridge, Va.

• Greene, 29, of Mountain City, Tenn., went by "Freddie" and was active at Baker's Gap Baptist Church while he was growing up, said Glenn Arney, the church's former superintendent and a former co-worker of Greene's.

"I went to church with him, knew him all of his life. He was one of the finest boys you ever saw," Arney said.

Arney worked with Greene for several years at A.C. Lumber and Truss in Mountain City. The company designs and builds trusses, which are structures that support the roofs and floors of buildings.

"He was a hard worker. He was a computer whiz. He could design a truss. He could do about anything," Arney said.
