SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A military magistrate has ruled that the Army psychiatrist charged in one of the worst mass shootings on a U.S. military base will be held until trial.

For now, Maj. Nidal Hasan will stay in a military hospital in San Antonio.

The magistrate made that decision Saturday during a hearing in Hasan's hospital room. Hasan is recovering from the Nov. 5 shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, that killed 13 and wounded more than two dozen.

He's charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder in a military court.

Hasan's civilian attorney, John Galligan, says he's concerned about where Hasan will be moved once he's released from the hospital, but he doesn't know when that will happen.

Fort Hood officials declined comment.
