Post a commentPa. native took down accused shooter
KILLEEN, Texas - A civilian police officer is being praised for taking down the Army officer suspected of opening fire on fellow soldiers at Fort Hood.
Police officials said that after arriving at the scene of Thursday's gunfire, Sgt. Kimberly Munley saw the suspect, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, and started firing.
Munley's boss, Chuck Medley, said yesterday that Hasan then spun around and charged at her with a gun in each hand.
Medley said that Munley, 34, shot Hasan in the upper torso, allowing officers to take him into custody. Munley was shot in the thighs and wrist.
The Pennsylvania native is an advanced-firearms instructor and a civilian member of Fort Hood's special-reaction team.
