Fort Hood and the second officer
Another officer credited for ending the shooting. That seems consistent with the account I linked earlier. Though that account was unconfirmed, several military folks I know vouched for it.
ETA: And this is not to question Officer Munley who acted bravely. Rather, to give credit to another heroic officer.

I think there will be a lot of things changed after all the ballistics tests are complete and after all the interviews. I am afraid that a lot of them may have been killed by so called “Friendly Fire”.

They’re all heroes in my book.

Munley still could’ve gotten off some shots of her own even if she was knocked down. Maybe that’s why they’re waiting on the ballistics test, since Todd and Munley would be firing from different directions. It should be easy to determine if Officer Munley discharged her weapon during the engagement; the bigger challenge is determining if she actually scored hits or not.

Over at Steve Sailer’s blog, there was (of course) discussion of Munley’s probable “ethnicity.” She was accused of Frenchness, but then somebody suggested she earned an honorary promotion to “Scotch-Irish.” I would concur: Regardless of who put Hasan down, Sgt. Munley was leading from the front and got off the first responding shots. Just went for him, like.

Sgt. Todd sounds allegedly male.
Methinks this does not jive with the poltically correct story line. Todd will vanish down a Memory Hole.

One of the big takeaways I hope the average Joe get from the coverage of Ft. Hood is how the press got almost everything wrong.
Hopefully many will have an epiphany that several news networks are hiding information from them (Acorn, NEA, etc).

Ah, but Sgt. Todd is a black male. So the question is “which weighs more: black or female”?
