KXXV reports that official sources, speaking under the condition of anonymity, said Hasan received a poor performance evaluation while at Walter Reed.
Hasan was born in Virginia, is single, and has no children. He graduated from Virginia Tech University in 1997 with a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry.
In 2001, Hasan obtained his medical degree from the military’s Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md. He completed his internship, residency, and fellowship at Walter Reed.
Last week, Hasan reportedly had the word “Allah” keyed into his car. According to KXXV, he reported the incident as a hate crime.
Additionally, the gunman’s neighbors told KXXV that on Thursday, he was giving away copies of the Qur’an and all of his furniture.

We have to be honest and come right out and say it... everything that has come out from initial interviews points to the massacre being related to this man's religious beliefs.
His friends and colleagues have all said that his resistance to serving was because he felt it conflicted with his religion as a Muslim. He started the attack by yelling "Allah (God) is Great". To ignore the blatant religious underpinnings would be side-stepping this conversation.
Pointing out negative aspects of (all) religions should no longer be a protected taboo. Religious beliefs are fantasies and then we all act surprised when some believers come back into our real world and start shooting people while saying "God is Great", or flying planes into buildings believing their religious indoctrination that they will get 72 virgins in a (mythical) afterlife.
Religions are dangerous myths.
