God only knows how bad the carnage would have been yesterday at Ft Hood if not for the actions of police Sgt Kim Munley. She was the police officer who charged into the building, confronted the Muslim killer and delivered 4 shots on target to take him down and receiving a gun shot wound herself.
[General]Cone said Munley's aggressive response training taught her that "if you act aggressively to take out a shooter you will have less fatalities."
Reports say she should recover and I wish to send along my well wishes and gratitude for her actions.
Not all heroes are 6'5" Arnold Swartzenegger clones.
UPDATE: Apparently this is not the first time that Officer Munley has been at the right place at the right time.
While Appler was talking to the driver of the vehicle, a third man approached the detective and interjected himself into the discussion. Appler said he asked the third man to leave, when he didn’t, the detective tried to arrest him.
A struggle ensued, and the two men eventually rolled down a hill. When they came to a stop, the man was straddling Appler, reaching for the handgun holstered on the detective’s belt.
Suddenly, Munley appeared, leaped onto the man’s back, yanked him off of Appler and forced him into handcuffs.
At that point, Appler said, he heard the theme to Mighty Mouse playing over in his head: “Here I come to save the day.”
From that time forward, Appler called Munley: “Mighty Mouse.”
This happened when she was an officer in Wrightsville Beach, NC.
