Francheska Velez, Pregnant Chicago Woman, Among Fort Hood Shooting Victims

A pregnant woman from Chicago is reportedly among the 13 people killed in the Fort Hood shootings Thursday. Kelvyn Park High School graduate Francheska Velez, 21, had just returned from Afghanistan, and was pregnant, her uncle told CBS 2. She had been in the Army since February 2007, according to her Facebook page. The military has not confirmed the names of the 13 people killed. Unnamed sources told Fox Chicago that Velez had only been back on base for three days and was in the building where the gunman opened fire to fill out paperwork related to her pregnancy. Velez is the second Chicago-area casualty of the rampage.
