General Cone said that Ms Munley’s actions demonstated that an aggressive
response to a mass-shooting can save lives. “She walked up and engaged him,”
he said.

She rocks!!

A police officer and mother of one was hailed a heroine yesterday after it 
emerged that she almost single handedly ended the massacre at America’s 
biggest military base.

Kimberly Munley does not look as if she would be much of a match for a heavily 
armed US soldier on a murderous rampage. But the slightly built 34-year-old 
civilian officer was first on the scene after Major Nidal Malik Hasan began 
firing on comrades at Ford Hood in Texas as they prepared to deploy to 
Afghanistan and Iraq. The 39-year-old psychologist killed 13 and left 31 
others with serious injuries.

On Thursday afternoon Ms Munley was doing her usual job of directing traffic 
on the sprawling base. By chance, she and her partner happened to walk past 
the Soldiers’ Readiness Processing Centre soon after Major Hasan — armed 
with two handguns — cornered his fellow soldiers. Soldiers who witnessed the 
rampage described the gunfire as continuous, methodical and well aimed.
