Military officials say the Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 and wounding 29 in last week’s shooting rampage at his military post in Texas will face 13 charges of premeditated murder under the military’s legal system. Hasan is suspected of killing 12 soldiers and one civilian in last Thursday’s shooting spree at Fort Hood. He was shot and wounded by two police officers at the base, and remains in recovery at an Army hospital in San Antonio. His attorney says he was read the charges at the hospital.

On Tuesday, U.S. President Barack Obama paid tribute to the 13 victims during a memorial service at the base. He vowed that the “killer will be met with justice.” The president and first lady Michelle Obama also met privately with the wounded and families of the victims.

The officials said it is not yet decided whether to charge Hasan with a 14th count of murder related to the death of the unborn child of a pregnant shooting victim.
