The Liles, of Mustang, were relieved Monday when he returned safely to Fort Hood, Texas. Relief turned to panic Thursday afternoon when news broke that someone opened fire on the post, killing at least 12 people and wounding at least 30 others at a soldier processing center. The suspected shooter also was wounded, officials said.

Billy Lile said family members called Grey’s home in Killeen, Texas, but got no answer. It was 45 minutes before Grey called.

"I was outside mowing,” said Grey, reached at his home Thursday. "By the time I came back in I had 10 missed calls and 12 text messages.”

Janet Lile had a difficult time speaking as she followed the news. She said she was still shaken up from the fear she felt for her son-in-law.
