“Very brave lady. A true hero (heroin?) and patriot”

Ditto that. Good job young lady. Best wishes for fast recovery.

From the story and statements of his superiors, she is apparently well trained in tactical weapons combat. That’s why she was rushing towards him and able to hit him in the head while under fire.

Typical white person bitterly clinging to her guns profiling a presumed innocent Muslim, right Barry?

The first stories talk about her being with her partner when they arrived, now she’s arrived while off duty.....the story keeps getting larger and more heroic. I hope it is all true; she deserves a congressional medal if true. But, it just stinks of political correctness which is killing the leadership skills in our Army right now.

She ran toward him, continuing to fire

This is what this country needs. We need it among our police and our military. We need it in our conservative politicians. We need this in ourselves as we engage this corrupt culture and leftwing agendas in our communities and institutions. Run toward them. Continue to fire!

this story smells of Jessica-Lynch-style reporting.

Well, *somebody* put the guy in a coma.

God works in strange ways. This terrorist coward was brought down by an American woman- a fire arms expert - who was at the right place at the right time.

Maybe her, maybe one of the dozen other officers and MPs that arrived around the exact same time. Believe me, on base, when the MPs and Dept. of Army Police finally get some action, they go all out with lights and siren (almost like the fire departments and ambulance services in most towns) and the whole shebang. I’m sure, being where that center is on Fort Hood, there were a dozen MPs and D of A cops on scene in seconds of the call finally getting through.

Here's hoping she's up and about really soon.

I feel a tingling up my leg - always had a soft spot for a gal that can handle a 9mm ...

Article did say that she was a member of the SWAT team. Considering that while running and while being fired up, she still hit and brought down the target .... I’d say that would qualify her as a not only an expert but an expert under pressure.

I’ve see a lot of experts fall to pieces with just their instructor yelling at them on the range.

Wrist wounds that need tourniquets often need lots of reconstructive surgery. Prayers for her recovery.

“How long before the Left begins trying to dig up dirt on her?”

The NYT article indicates that she is ONLY a high school graduate and did NOT attend H-a-r-v-a-r-d to how much more dirt does one need?

Wrist? hope its a flesh wound.

Not much flesh in the wrist. And lots of little bones.

"By the way, I wonder what they mean about being a firearms expert. Does that mean her qualification score? If that's the case, I'm an expert because I qualified at 38 of 40 targets and am eligible to wear my "expert" marksmanship badge. But, I'm not an expert in the way the media is portraying it."

Sergeant Munley joined the police force on the sprawling base in January 2008 after a career in the Army.

She had received specific training in a tactic called active shooter protocol, which was intended for the kind of situation she encountered on Thursday.

You did target shooting.. She brought a terrorist down. Is that good enough??

That’s what I hope is not the case.
She apparently is a valuble member of the LEO.
