MARGARET WARNER (Newshour): The court-martial of the Army psychiatrist who opened fire on scores of fellow soldiers in 2009 got under way today at Fort Hood in Texas.
Major Nidal Hasan is charged with many counts of murder and attempted murder for the attack that killed 13 people and wounded more than 30. In an opening statement, the prosecutor said Hasan had tried to kill as many soldiers as he could.
In his opening statement, Hasan, who is representing himself, said, "The evidence will clearly show that I am the shooter."
Los Angeles Times reporter Molly Hennessy-Fiske is covering the trial and joins us now from Fort Hood.
