“Cone said wounded first responder Sgt. Kimberly Munley, who exchanged gunfire with Hasan and managed to shoot him four times despite being shot herself, put a stop to the carnage with her quick thinking and willingness to go head-to-head with the gun-wielding officer. “She was quite effective, one of our most impressive young policemen,” Cone said. “She walked up and basically engaged him. I think, certainly, this could’ve been far worse.”
I generally consider female police officers to be useless except for consoling victims, but in this instance the Sgt performed her duties with bravery and distinction. Excellent Work!
