Kimberly Munley:

The hero cop who ended the bloody rampage at Fort Hood by pumping four bullets into the crazed gunman even though she was wounded is known for her toughness, friends say.

Before relocating to Texas, civilian police Sgt. Kimberly Munley spent about five years as a cop in North Carolina where she forged a reputation as a no-nonsense officer.

"I'd like to say I'm surprised, but I'm really not," said close friend Drew Peterson, 27.

"She was born and bread to be a police officer. If you were ever to be in a fight, she'd be the first person to stand up next to you and back you up. She's a tough cookie."

Munley's toughness and grace under pressure were on display Thursday when she and her partner responded within three minutes of reported gunfire, said Army Lt. Gen. Bob Cone.

C’mon, take a risk; use the word, just this once. We won’t mind.

LOL! See my post #57. And because you asked so nicely, this one's for you, but in subscript (one baby step at a time):

_{She's a hero.}

Does that make sense?

Of course it makes sense, and that is why I didn't flame you in 20 point font.

You did use a generic definition of duty, (doing the job), rather that the specific actions of this individual, which were available on the record, to reclassify THIS officer in this incident. That was improper.

Heroism rather than duty may be called into question only when you have a generic response.

a true american hero

I am still a bit of a male chauvanist pig, but...

I truly admire this woman and her incredible bravery in the face of death!

And I am glad she didn't kill the bastard...

this way we get to enjoy a good old fashioned military hanging!!

Attention Fort Leavenworth:... limber up the rope.
