I understand protests are under way and the Obama Administration is looking for ways to soothe ruffled feathers.
Pilgrim has relevant details:
In the highest tradition of police work, she ran toward the gunfire:
The hero cop who ended the bloody rampage at Fort Hood had been directing traffic moments before she confronted the gunman and pumped four bullets into him despite being shot herself.
Civilian police Sgt. Kimberly Munley and her partner responded within three minutes of reported gunfire Thursday afternoon, Lt. Gen. Bob Cone said Friday.
Munley, who had been trained in active-response tactics, rushed into the building and confronted the shooter as he was turning a corner, Cone said.
She didn’t bother with cover and concealment when she got there. She utilized the training that police everywhere got after the initial debacle of the response at Columbine. She engaged:
Munley was only a few feet from crazed Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan when she opened fire.
Wounded in the exchange of gunfire, Munley was reported in stable condition at a local hospital.
Pilgrim adds in an update:
Pam over at Atlas Shrugs points out that this is a sort of poetic justice and wonders how cringeworthy in the Muslim world, at least the radical Muslim world, this will be now that we know the Muslim shooter was taken down by a woman.
Maybe that’ll dampen the celebratory spirit that they’ll be feeling over this.

What an excellent point. I had not thought of that yet.
I'm so proud that any American ran up and killed this guy but the knowledge that it was a woman and that Muslims will know this is just extra-special.
I'm so angry that this happened. I cannot imagine the grief all of the families are going through right now. It must be suffocating.

I'm not sure the shooter is dead, but if he is I wonder if he's still considered a martyr having been shot by a woman.
Anyway, whatever the backlash, the families have needlessly lost loved ones - not even in battle where their loved ones would have had a fair chance in a fair fight.

Heard he was alive, the base commanding General said he was alive last night. Heard he was paralyzed today..stay tuned.
AS Uncle Jimbo said over at Blackfive- "I will only say I'm glad the son of a bitch lived and we get to kill him properly".
Related/unrelated note: Another mass shooting/killing today, watch media interweave this into this story as mad gunmen scenarios. That fits their agenda rather than the truth - Muslim jihad.

PS... they may not like being killed by a woman... but they don't mind killing women... rather think of it as an honor.

She is a true hero and needs to be decorated. Unfortunately she may need protection.

I hope Munly is protected for the rest of her life. Muslims do not forget.
It is appropriate that the shooter is still alive and in bad shape. This way he can think about what he did.
It is also appropriate (downright cool!) that a woman police officer brought him down. I hope she recovers fully from her injuries and is aware that she has become a hero to many Americans.
God bless Officer Munly!

I think it is absolutely great that a 120 lb, 5' 4" woman brought this big jerk down. All muzlims should think about that. She did not flinch, she did not hide, she came straight at him and opened fire on his sorry carcass, putting four bullets in him. The only bad part is that he shot her in the bargain.
At the same time, we need to think about the damage he inflicted on our people. I was following a thread over at Flopping Aces as this was unfolding. A young Army wife was posting, asking if anyone knew how to reach Ft. Hood so she could check on her husband. She posted repeatedly, until she finally posted that the Army messengers had come to her home to tell her that her husband was dead. She was in total shock. They had only been married 2 months, and she was preparing to move to central Texas in a couple of weeks to be with him. This is extremely sad, and I'm sure that there are other stories very similar to this one.
We must root izlam out of America. We cannot continue to embrace this evil death cult that is bent on world domination. If we continue to allow it within our country, it will kill us. I'm sure you all know some nice, "moderate muzlims." I do too. The fact is, however, they all subscribe to a political-religious philosophy that has as its goal world domination. They appear very nice today, but they always do until they turn on you. We should give every individual muzlim the opportunity to abandon izlam publicly or leave the country. There should be no mosques, no muzlim organizations, nothing of the sort. It should be a criminal offense to have any sort of muzlim association, just as it was once a criminal offense to be a communist. They are out to overthrow our government, and they must be stopped.

The Sgt. is a great gal, but people don't realize what the USA is in store for. What Sgt. Munley did is fairly typical over here in Israel. And unfortunately I think it going to have to become typical in the USA. Get ready to live the Israeli lifestyle, especially after the first time one of these Muslim f-cks massacres - not soldiers - but a room full of school children.
