'Tough Cookie' Cop Downed Gunman
Sgt. Kimberley Munley put a quick end to the shooting at Fort Hood in Texas yesterday, gunning down suspected shooter Major Nidal Malik Hasan in spite of her own injuries. Friends of the police officer are saying that this kind of bravery is standard for Munley. "She was born and bred to be a police officer. If you were ever to be in a fight, she'd be the first person to stand up next to you and back you up,” said a longtime friend of Munley’s. “She's a tough cookie." Munley arrived within four minutes of being called in to respond to the shooting. She fired at Hasan from close range in what officials are calling “an amazing and an aggressive performance,” which friends credit to her training as a former member of the armed services. Munley is in stable condition and spent the rest of Thursday checking in with family and fellow police officers. She is married with two daughters. "I live a good life....a hard one, but I go to sleep peacefully @ night knowing that I may have made a difference in someone's life," Munley wrote on her Twitter page.

God bless you and yours Sgt.Munley!!!
The world will never know how many lives you saved Sgt Munley! Bravery at its finest!
God bless you Sgt. Munley, and a speedy recovery! I hope this lady is well rewarded for her bravery!
I hope Sgt. Munley has a fast recovery - and wow, so much for the naysayers who want women to stay home/in the kitchen! A mom, AND a darn-fine officer as well.
Continue to get well, we hope you have a speedy recovery!
thank you and your family Sgt. munley get better fast we need you back on the job.
Sgt Munly obviously knew protocol and was well trained.
When confronted with deadly force, use deadly force to support innocent bystanders.
Prayers for a great cop.
In the first interviews in police academy the issue of deadly force is important and students are asked in administration of justice classes to consider this question.
If they feel they cannot act as Sgt. Munley did, fast and in accordance with protocols, they need to reconsider being officers.
Prayers for Sgt Munley and all the dead and injured and their famlies.
Thank-you and speedy recovery to Sgt Munley. I am just so sorry that these hero's who were trained to defend themselves and others were gunned down with no ability to fight back. I don't know if soldiers want to be armed at all times, but most cops are.
To all the macho men who think women are not worth, here ya go. Get 'em girl.
Here's looking at you Sgt Munly with much admiration and Love. Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan! YOU ARE BUSTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you.
