She Ran to Gunfire, and Ended It
KILLEEN, Tex. — The police officer who brought down a gunman after he went on a shooting rampage at the Fort Hood Army base here was on the way to have her car repaired when she responded to a police radio report of gunfire at a center where soldiers are processed before being sent overseas, the authorities said Friday.

As she pulled up to the center, the officer, Sgt. Kimberly Denise Munley, spotted the gunman, later identified as Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, brandishing a pistol and chasing a wounded soldier outside the building, said Chuck Medley, the director of emergency services at the base.
Sergeant Munley — a woman with a fierce love of hunting, surfing and other outdoor sports — bolted from her car, yanked her pistol out and shot at Major Hasan. He turned on her and began to fire. She ran toward him, continuing to fire, and both she and Major Hasan went down with several bullet wounds, Mr. Medley said.

Too bad all of that bravery would not have been necessary if the PC police in the military had not kept someone with his record in the service... but also promoted him despite the fact that he was an obvious misfit. This touchy-feely approach to "diversity" has no place in the military. Either you are a soldier that belongs... or you are not. All the evidence points to the fact that Hasan should have been booted long ago.
