Petition to shut down Fort Hood has over 264,000 signatures

The petition comes because of how Fort Hood handled the Vanessa Guillen case. The petition was started Wednesday morning and had over 264,000 signatures by 4:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon.

Guillen is a 20-year-old specialist who was serving on Fort Hood before she went missing. Fort Hood officials said she was promoted to Specialist due to time in service, effective July 1.
