Congressman: 2 soldiers released from custody

WASHINGTON (AP) - The office of a Texas congressman says two soldiers who were taken into custody following a deadly rampage at Fort Hood have been released.

A spokesman for Rep. John Carter says Fort Hood officials informed Carter's office of the release. Carter's congressional district includes the Army post.

A soldier opened fire at Fort Hood on Thursday, killing 12 people and wounding 31 others. Authorities wounded the gunman.

Fort Hood spokesman Christopher Haug said a third person was in custody, however.
