Fort Hood, Texas (CNN) -- Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the U.S. Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people at Fort Hood Army Post in Texas a week ago, is paralyzed, his lawyer said Friday.
"It appears he won't be able to walk in the future," said Hasan's civilian attorney, retired Army Col. John Galligan.
Authorities say Hasan opened fire at a military processing center at Fort Hood on November 5. A civilian officer who was wounded in the incident returned fire, wounding Hasan.
Galligan said he spent an hour with Hasan in San Antonio on Thursday. A family member whom he did not identify was also present during the hourlong meeting.
