I'm posting the link to this twitter feed because it is supposedly reported that Lopez's wife is cooperating with the investigation, and the time stamp on the tweet indicates the military has yet to confirm shooters identity. What reason would the military have in holding back now?

You know, the mentality, no, the mental condition/deficit infecting the current administration permeates the authoritarian pyramid. Witness yesterday's Benghazi testimony:
"I never allowed politics to influence what I said or did. Never," he said.
Morell said he removed references to the warnings based on previous CIA analysis. Otherwise, he said, the talking points would have been a "way for CIA to pound its chest and say 'we warned,' laying all the blame on the State Department."
...
Morell deleted references to extremist threats linked to al-Qaida in versions of the talking points that were used by Susan Rice, then U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, in a series of Sunday talk show appearances. Morell said his actions were driven by the information provided by intelligence community analysts and the Defense Department.
He said the CIA knew that some of the individuals involved in the attack were al-Qaida from classified sources, information that couldn't be included unless it was declassified. The talking points were provided to members of the committee for dissemination to the American people.

The same mental affliction sets up military spokespersons to carefully play hot potato.
Opposing views:
Fox News host Megyn Kelly announced Wednesday night that she will not be using the name of the Fort Hood shooter on her show.
"“Authorities are identifying the shooter. If you’re interested you can get his name on other shows, like the one that preceded this one and online, but we have decided not to name these mass killers here as a policy here on the ‘Kelly File.’ Too often it is infamy they seek, and we decline to help,” Kelly said at the beginning of her show."
Pat Dollard: Army Secretary: Fort Hood Shooter Had Clean Behavior Record
"Excerpted from CNN: • Investigators have not made any conclusions about the motives of the suspected Fort Hood shooter, Army Secretary John McHugh told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday. “We’re going to keep an open mind. … Possible extremist involvement is still being looked at very, very carefully.” McHugh did not identify Ivan Lopez as the suspect, though other officials have."
