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.

"FINAL report" as in Warren Commission report? 911 Commission report?
LOL!
O.K., poor choice of words on my part.
How about "after action" report -- following a traditional forensic investigation?

We may never know EXACTLY what happened, but it will take quite a bit of evidence to the contrary to convince me that this petite (5'4" 120 pound) officer is no a hero.

Civilians perform police duty on the base. They are not affected or influenced by the military chain of command.

I too was looking for photos of them. Guess they weren’t important enough for the press to be bothered.

I see no pics of African-Americans.

Is it because that’s where the vast majority of Muslim-Americans reside?

Just asking...

she looses her blood and it is clear that this president does not take terrorism or the threat seriously at all.

It is a disgrace and an outrage that he sits in the white house not caring what so ever about this country and the threat against her.

It is up to the media to question , him , to keep on top of him and to find out what is really going on but they do not. Instead they would rather get an invite to the Christmas dinner

That mosque looks pretty secure, with it’s own tower too. How convenient.

There was at least one black I know of who was shot twice in the stomach by him. He’s on the wounded list.

The civilian Police on base are Dept of the Army Police. They are used to handle traffix, respond to calls and general police duties. The MP’s are generally used for securing the base and backing them up.

Right. Their papers are very good for a wide array of interests. Also, I read it as a reminder of what could be. Did you catch this chilling story:

Mother trailed by policeman and warned by council for telling off son at checkout

It reads like Orwellian fantasy...except it's not.

I am wondering why the male police office is totally ignored in all accounts apart from in this one I seen in the Daily Telegraph and a mention of her having a college with her in another account?

Never let accuracy get in the way of a good story.

Medic Francisco Delaserna applied a tourniquet

At least she got shot in a room full of people who were trained to deal with the very thing.
