The man suspected in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood is in critical but stable condition at Texas hospital, a US military spokesman has said.

Colonel John Rossi told Fox News early today that Major Nidal Malik Hasan's condition has not changed since he was taken off a ventilator on Saturday.

Hasan is at Brooke Medical Center in San Antonio, about 250 kilometres southwest of Fort Hood.

Authorities say the 39-year-old Hasan opened fire at a processing centre lastThursday at Fort Hood, the country's largest military installation. Thirteen people were killed and 29 were wounded.

The shooting spree ended when a civilian police officer shot Maj Hasan.

Col Rossi said the centre remains a crime scene, but that the base is "working on healing."
