By: News 8 Austin Staff

A blood bus took donations outside Scott & White in Temple Thursday.  
Right after a mass shooting at Fort Hood that took 12 lives and wounded 31 others, hospitals in the area asked for blood donations for victims.

The community responded with such vigor, that hospitals have asked people to stop coming for the night.

Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Temple received at least 10 gunshot victims from Fort Hood. At least six other victims were taken to the Metroplex Adventist Hospital in Killeen.
