Attorney: Fort Hood suspect moved out of ICU


Fort Hood — The Army psychiatrist charged in last month's deadly shooting spree at Fort Hood has been moved from ICU to a private room.



Attorney John Galligan said Wednesday that his client, Maj. Nidal Hasan, remains under guard at a San Antonio military hospital and is doing rehabilitation.



Galligan says doctors have said Hasan, whose wounds left him paralyzed, needs to be hospitalized a couple more months while he learns to care for himself.



But Galligan says he's filed a motion to have Hasan moved to a hospital closer to his office near Fort Hood, which is about 125 miles northeast of San Antonio.



An official from Brooke Army Medical Center did not immediately return a call Wednesday to The Associated Press.



Hasan has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder.
