A man who grew up in Jerome was the first victim shot in Thursday's Fort Hood shooting rampage that left 13 dead and 38 injured.

Army Staff Sgt. Shawn Manning, 33, survived six gunshot wounds when the shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, entered the Soldier Readiness Center at the military post near Killeen, Texas, and fired more than 100 rounds with two handguns at soldiers undergoing medical screening in preparation for deployment to Afghanistan.

Manning's sister, Kym Lott, of Twin Falls, acknowledged that her brother was the first of the 51 people shot.

A civilian policewoman shot and wounded Hasan. He has been reported in critical condition at a military hospital.

Manning, who now lives with his wife, Autumn, in Lacey, Wash., was born in Twin Falls, raised mostly in Jerome, and graduated from Buhl High School. He was a psychology major at Idaho State University.

He serves in the Combat Stress Unit with the 467th Medical Detachment Unit at Fort Hood.

Lott said Manning is a mental health professional but he did not know the shooter.

Manning is a veteran of two tours of duty in Iraq. He joined the Army in 2000 and served in Iraq in 2003 and 2006.

"He had been called back to active duty in October and was preparing for a third deployment," Lott said.

She said Saturday afternoon that her brother was in stable condition in a Texas hospital.

Lott said her family appreciates all of the thoughts and support from the community.

The only other victim of the shooting spree with known Idaho ties is George Stratton III, 18, of Post Falls, who was reported to have sustained a shoulder wound.
