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.
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.
Well, *somebody* put the guy in a coma.
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.
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??
How many threads did you post this on? You are really going out of your way to deny this brave officer her due. And it’s disgusting. This didn’t happen in an isolated desert region, it happened where there were witnesses. There was also another young woman there who was pulling the wounded to safety despite being shot herself.
This story isn’t about you. I’m sure you wouldn’t question a policeman’s expertise with weapons or courage in advancing on an armed killer.
