Kim Munley a.k.a. "Mighty Mouse"
Posted on 11/08/2009 11:52:29 AM PST by Schnucki
After regaining consciousness the first words of policewoman Kim Munley, who shot the Fort Hood gunman Major Nidal Malik Hasan, were "Did anybody die?"
Sergeant Munley, 34, was unconcious after being shot three times by Hasan and was rushed to hospital after she lost so much blood doctors thought she would die.
She was shot twice in the left thigh and once in the wrist but still managed to bring Malik down with four shots of her own.
Dr Kelly Matlock, who treated Munley in hospital, said: "She opened her eyes and said, 'Did anybody die?' That's what she said." Sgt Munley has now been told that Hasan killed 13 people and wounded 38 but her actions saved the lives of many others.
Hasan still had dozens of bullets left to fire from his two handguns, including a semi-automatic pistol.
Sgt Munley, a mother of two daughters, is just 5ft 3ins tall, but colleagues described her as a "fireball" and a "tough cookie." She is a member of Fort Hood's SWAT team.
When she saw Hasan firing she ran toward him and started shooting.
Witnesses said she fired twice and Hasan then turned and charged. Sgt Munley fired more rounds as she fell back, continuing to fire after being shot.
Chuck Medley, director of emergency services at Fort Hood, who has spoken to the officer, said she was in "good spirits." Sgt Munley's grandmother, Monirie Metz, said: "Kim doesn't want be called a hero. She's worried about everyone else right now." Sgt Munley is married to Matthew Munley, a special forces soldier, and has two daughters aged three and 13.
Her former police partner Shaun Appler in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, described how she once saved his life through her bravery.

Kim Munley a.k.a. "Mighty Mouse"
Will she get the Joe the Plumber treatment?
D*mn, this woman has more cojones and honor than the ENTIRE cadre of Obamaloon limp-wristed loosers.
Live long, and prosper, Kim.
As for you, Obama........
God Bless her!!!
Why is it that these stories seem to be reported in the traditional press in the UK, instead of here, or does it just seem so?
God Bless her and I hope she fully recovers from her wounds and is able to return to duty, if she wants.
May God continue to heal her and the other victims who were injured, and comfort the families of the murdered.
I learned from a recent posting that the guy whose arm is around her in that photo is the country singer Dirks Bentley.
She is a great woman and a hero. God Bless her.
What a gal!
God Bless this amazing young women!
Talk about courage under fire!
She deserves a few medals.
That’s obama. Not Obama. Please.
Damn!
That’s dedication!
Some people are cut from special cloth.
God bless her and speed her recovery. I hope she heals from any emotional scars as well.
A totally selfless person indicative of the majority serving America over the years.
It is people like her who have made America great, not the spineless RINO’s or Democrats shoving socialism down our throats.
They may have nicknamed her “mighty mouse,” but today, “Superwoman” seems more fitting.
Fort Hood fortitude!
Only a true hero would have the concern for others as the first thing on their mind when awakening and she proved AGAIN that she is a true hero! God bless her!
What a beautiful woman, she might be what scares the traditional Muslims more then anything. A proud independent courageous woman who doesn’t kneel to anybody. I am glad she is the one who shot that Islamic nut job.
Firing as she was going down. What an American!
