Austin Strip Clubs: Fort Hood suspect linked to radical cleric
Hasan, who was shot and is at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, has regained consciousness and is able to talk, though it is unclear if he has spoken to federal investigators.
A lawyer for Hasan said Monday he had asked investigators not to question his client and expressed doubt he could get a fair trial. The lawyer, retired Col. John Galligan, said he was contacted by Hasan’s family Monday and was traveling to San Antonio.
Officials said Monday that Hasan will be charged in military court.
Questions remain about Hasan’s state of mind, though another revelation Monday added to the complexity of his character. The general manager of a strip club near the mosque where Hasan prayed, and next door to the gun shop where he bought the pistol used in the shootings, said Hasan was a customer.
The club manager, Matthew Jones, said Hasan had been in the Starz strip club at least three times in the past month.
