First - you're an idiot.
Secondly, if he was quick enough, he may have been able to drive off post before the gates received word of the shooting. Most likely, considering that he was only a couple of miles away, he simply picked a direction and walked. It's not as if a post the size of Fort Hood is fenced in.
To clarify, a soldier (not a war) hardly ever sees their weapon unless they're at a firing range to re-qualify, or, more often, when they are in the field doing training, in which case they wouldn't be supplied ammunition.
Post versus base: When I was in the Army, (stationed at Fort Hood, by the way) we always said 'post.' The Army had posts, the Navy had bases. But today, even army.com refers to Army installations as bases.
