Mark Rodgers of Groesbeck, Texas, stands on the side of US 190 outside the main gate of Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas, to pray and show his support on Sunday Nov. 8, 2009, following the mass shootings at Fort Hood last week.Mourners were asked to pray for the man authorities say went on a shooting spree at Fort Hood and his family, and an Army chaplain exhorted his congregation on Sunday to draw together even if the gunman's motives may never be fully known.
"Lord, all those around us search for motive, search for meaning, search for something, someone to blame. That is so frustrating," Col. Frank Jackson told a group of about 120 people gathered at the post's chapel. "Today, we pause to hear from you. So Lord, as we pray together, we focus on things we know."
