A Richmond County native is among the 30 people wounded in an attack by an Army officer at Fort Hood, Texas.

Staff Sgt. Alonzo (Mac) Lunsford had been stationed at the Texas base for about a year. His mother, Johnsey, is city clerk for the City of Rockingham. On Friday flags in the city were at half-staff where they will remain through Sunday.

Lunsford, who stands 6-foot-10, is in his early 40s according to city staff. He got the nickname "Big Mac" while in high school at Richmond Senior High School because of his size.

He was four times and two of the bullets have been removed, according to Mayor Gene McLaurin. Two of the shots were in his stomach, one in his back and one grazed his face.

“Mac is a really fine guy, and I know he loves his mother,” McLaurin said Friday.

Lunsford is separated from his wife and the father of two.

Police say 13 people were killed by Nidal Malik Hasan, an Army Major who wounded another 30 before being wounded himself.
