Associated Press is already trying to diminish this hero, first by claiming she didn't kill the gunman, that he in fact killed himself:

Matthew Murray, 24, was struck multiple times by a security officer at New Life Church Sunday, but his death was ruled a suicide, the El Paso County Coroner's Office concluded after an autopsy.

Then they go to great lengths to tarnish Assam's reputation:

Also Tuesday, Minneapolis police Sgt. Jesse Garcia said Assam was fired from the Minneapolis force in 1997 for lying during an internal investigation. Sgt. John Delmonico, president of the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis, said police were investigating a complaint that Assam swore at a bus driver while she was handling an incident on a city bus.

It seems the MSM cannot tolerate an armed, Christian hero for very long. This was going against all their templates. They just have to shovel some dirt on her.

Doesn't matter. Whether the woman who stopped him fired a fatal shot or presented him with his death as his only out is irrelevant. Either way, she stopped him.

I, too, have heard that Murray supposedly committed suicide. That defies all rational logic.

Here is a man who has been quoted as 'hating Christians', who enters a church armed to the teeth, presumably in order to take out as many believers as possible. He is confronted by a armed, determined woman, who shoots and hits him multiple times, and he still has the ammo, and the ability, to return fire ... and yet turns his weapon on himself. Not credible.

As for our hero having been fired from the Minneapolis police department for lying about the fact that she had sworn at a bus driver while in the process of handling an incident on a city bus ... the only negative I see in that is in the decision-making abilities of the Minneapolis P.D. Their loss is Colorado Springs' gain.

Let the mainstream media dig up, or fabricate, or magnify all out of proportion, all the 'dirt' they like on this woman. To rational, informed Americans, such tactics simply serve to demean their credibility yet again. If it weren't for the fact that they are still capable of swaying the uninformed American couch potatoes among us, their single-minded rantings would be laughable.
