CNN Already Has an Animated Reenactment of the Ft. Hood Shooting Because Sure Why Not

Just so you get a clearer sense of what went down Wednesday afternoon when Spc. Ivan Lopez shot and killed four people (including himself) at Fort Hood, CNN busted out an animated re-enactment.

The CGI animation came during justice correspondent Pamela Brown‘s report on the timeline of the shooting spree.

Just in case you couldn’t visualize what it looks like for a solider to fire off a handgun, allow the animation to help:

Lopez reportedly got into a vehicle and continued firing his weapon. Animation helps us picture that too!

And then he walked into a second administrative building and fired off some more shots. Allow the animation to tell the story:

Looking forward to seeing how Tom Foreman utilizes the CNN holograph deck for this story. Or maybe sister network HLN will do a live-action reenactment?
