A police officer who intervened to stop a shooting spree at America's biggest military base was hailed today a heroine as she received treatment for the wounds received in a shoot-out with the gunman.
Major Nidal Hasan, an army psychiatrist due to be posted to Afghanistan, shot dead 13 people and wounded 30 others after opening fire with two handguns at Fort Hood yesterday afternoon.
But the death toll from the rampage could have been far worse had it not been for the actions of Sergeant Kimberly Munley, a civilian police officer stationed at the base who was the first on the scene as Major Hasan picked off his victims.
Sergeant Munley managed to hit Major Hasan four times but was herself hit by a bullet that passed through both her legs, according to witnesses.
Colonel John Rossi, briefing reporters at Fort Hood this morning, said that Major Hasan's victims, who were killed in a part of the base used to process soldiers for deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan, had all been unarmed. Sergeant Munley had been the first armed person on the scene and had immediately taken him on.
"Her efforts were superb," he said

You beat me by less than 30 seconds.
Good shooting. Good job!
The teachable moment here is:
An American Woman Took down one of your tiny zib brethern!
An American Woman Stopped Jihad Nidal!
An American Woman Doesn’t take shit off any two bit, mealy mouthed, American hating muslim.
A Woman, An American Woman, bested your guy.
I hope that Hasan knows that he got taken down by a woman. Our women wear guns, theirs wear burkas. God bless the U.S. and this officer.
you missed the “am”

I’m a little unsettled by the numbers:
13 + 30 = at LEAST 45 shots.
Two “handguns” means 22+ shots each, at least.
7-9 shot clips = 3 clip reloads EACH min
6 reloads.
How’d he manage to do all that?
And what does “lockdown” for several hours mean? What happens if they did this as a concerted effort on multiple critical bases all at once?
Yes, she was from Chicago and just recently returned from Iraq. She was filling out paperwork having to do with her pregnancy. In my world that puts the death toll up by one more to 14.

Indeed.
Too bad she wasn’t the first LEO on the scene at Columbine.
It was crowded I bet. Probably hard to miss.
This woman is not an officer, she is a soldier.
Huah.
What, no hesitation in the face of danger and adversity?
Too bad she's not our President.
Where are you getting 7-9 rounds?
More like 15+1, would be my guess.
I would be proud to go to the range with this LADY any day any time any where. GOD BLESS YOU GIRL!
Yep, me too.
NPR says such snap judgements are Islamophobia.
The officer needs sensitivity training when she recovers.
She didn’t pause and think about diversity first? I am shocked /sarcasm
No, I was referring to a leg.
