NORTHERN UTAH -- The news of the mass shooting at Fort Hood Thursday hit close to home for some Utahns. One man says his daughter heard the shooter exclaim "Allah Akbar" as he opened fire.
We want to stress that no government or military officials are reporting that and there is no way for us to independently confirm that it is true.
The family from northern Utah agreed to talk to us, on the condition we not identify them and blur out some photos they've supplied, because they're worried their daughter could get in trouble with her superiors for making public what she told her family she saw.
The soldier's father says his daughter was at Fort Hood Thursday when the shooting happened, and she called him, frantic and upset, soon after.
"She said, Dad, I'm OK. Don't worry, I'm OK.' And initially I said, What are you talking about?' She said, Haven't you heard?' And I said, No.' And she said, We've been attacked by terrorists,'" the father explained.
He told KSL News soldiers were sitting in a staging area for medical and dental checks when the group was startled by gunfire.
"A person behind counter stood up, and he said, Allah Akbar!' And just opened up on everybody," the father told us.
Again, that's what the man tells us his daughter said, but no one else is saying that and we cannot confirm whether it's true. He, himself a military veteran, says at first his daughter thought it was some sort of drill but quickly discovered it wasn't.
"It was within a second or two she realized it was real because the person right next to her was shot and killed instantly," he said.
The man says his daughter immediately fell to the ground and played dead.

Most of the comments on this video involve suppositions about the motive of Hasan. Muslims claim that he was just insane and the murders had nothing to do with Islam.
Hasan attracted the attention of law enforcement authorities in because his Internet postings called Islamic suicide bombers brave heroes. Maybe Hasan will tell us why he yelled Allah Akbar when he began shooting unarmed soldiers.
Many Jizzlamic Jihadis yell the same thing when they commit acts of terrorism.
The most disturbing fact about this attack, was the attacker was given access to his victims even as he was under investigation by the FBI. Our government was paying this person who publically, for evidently some time, denounced the war and even suggested there should be more sucide bombings inside the United States. America is being led down a path similar to the one Israel is forced to exist on, where citizens must live with trained enemys who, at any moment will kill them and their families.
