Fast-Acting Officer Stopped Rampage (Ft. Hood)
Edited on Fri Nov-06-09 02:24 PM by DainBramaged
A civilian police officer who shot the Fort Hood gunman four times during his bloody rampage stopped the attacker cold, a U.S. Army official said Friday.
Officer Kimberly Munley of the Fort Hood Police Department is a "trained, active first responder" who acted quickly after she "just happened to encounter the gunman," said Lt. Gen. Bob Cone, Fort Hood's commanding general

Officials are crediting the quick action of Fort Hood Police Department Sgt. Kimberly Munley with stopping the deadly shooting on the base. She was nearby and able to respond quickly. Munley shot the gunman four times, Lt. Gen. Bob Cone said, and she herself was wounded.

Cone said the officer and her partner responded "very quickly" to the scene of the shootings -- reportedly in about three minutes.
Munley "just happened very fortunately to be very close to the incident scene," Cone told CNN's "American Morning."
He said she shot the gunman four times and was wounded herself in an exchange of gunfire with him.

5. Soldiers and civilians......
and in the end she'll respond "I was doing what I was trained to do".


Thank God.
