Police Heroine Who Brought Down Fort Hood Gunman Lost Half Her Blood After Being Shot
Daily Mail ^ | 11/08/09 | David Gardner and Liz Hazelton

Posted on 11/08/2009 1:23:45 PM PST by BunnySlippers

The lightly-built police heroine who is credited with halting the Fort Hood massacre almost died at the scene after losing half the blood in her body.

Mother of one Sergeant Kimberley Munley confronted gunman Nidal Malik Hasan and, despite being wounded in both legs, brought him down with four shots.

One of the shots cut an artery in her leg, leaving blood pumping out but she still managed to keep firing before collapsing.

Heroine: Kim Munley, a civilian police officer, is the woman who brought Hasan down by shooting him four times before he could slaughter more people.

Medic Francisco Delaserna applied a tourniquet to Sgt Munley as she drifted in and out of consciousness because of blood loss.

'I cut her trousers oopen, tied a tourniquet around her thigh and stopped the bleeding. But she had already lost a lot of blood,' he said.

They are Department of the Army Police Officers, most of the installations in the US Military have gone or are in the process of going to DOD Police.

It allows the Military Police to do combat related training in preparation for deployments.

The tower is a minaret, and they contain loudspeakers that utter the call to prayer five times a day.

Nope, it shows you how slender but tough Sgt. Kim Munley is. The adrenaline flowing through her body numbed her blood loss.

I was looking out for it too and found it difficult to find the information. What’s odd to me is finding the information coming from the British press first. Who’s giving them the info and why isn’t it available to our press? Or, is our press sitting on it?

I don’t really care who got the most shots on target. Of course that will be detailed in reports to follow. What I see are at least several very brave people (probably more you will never hear about unless you live there) that were suddenly thrust into a situation that none of us would ever want to be in. They acted instinctively out of training and took the bastard down.

Hold your glasses High, Toast to them all (named and unnamed) !!!!!

North Camp Hood, located 17 miles to the north, was established shortly after the first land acquisition and was formerly a US Airforce base.

Both the airfield and the base were run by the air force from 1947 to 1952. From 1952, the facilities were run by the US Army under the Defence Atomic Support Agency until they became part of Fort Hood in 1969.

It's West Fort Hood that was an Air Force base from '47 to '52 and later DASA facility. The part that glows in the dark..... just kidding, I hope, since that is where I work. A few of the old Air Force and DASA facilities are still in use, including some of the base housing, and many of the DASA bunkers.

Why don't we strip Hasan of his citizenship, and deport him.

Because that's not possible for a native born citizen. Besides, I favor treason and murder charges at the Court Martial. Followed as quickly as possible by The Big Sleep.

Munley had her weapon drawn but was in lead with Todd in trail

Well that would certainly be a good reason for him to hold his fire!

Actually, Todd stopped Hasan. There have been other articles ... but most focus on her.

From what I've read, including Todd's account, they both scored hits. She scored hers first, which likely made him a slower moving target for Todd.

I'lll wait for the FINAL report, before deciding exactly whose rounds actually dropped him.

It doesn't really matter. As Todd stated, they worked as a TEAM.

"The victims at Ft. Hood and their families were mentioned in prayer during our worship services this morning."

Ours as well. Sgt Munley was also included. I was about to add her to the list, but found one of my friends was already doing so, and we collaborated on the wording.

Disgusting. This sort of “multiculturalism” can stay in at home, for all I care. It brings nothing that interests me. It has no cause to come to the US.

She'd probably enjoy receiving a "get well" card with that thought on it. I'm sure anything mailed to her c/o Ft. Hood would reach her.

She's at Metroplex Hospital:

Metroplex Health System
2201 S. Clear Creek Rd.
Killeen, TX, 76549.

She's likely to be there a while.

It has the same zip code as my house. About a mile as the turkey buzzard flies or 1.7 miles on the street.
