KIMBERLY MUNLEY Kimberly Munley: Ft. Hood HeroKimberly Munley, a civilian police officer who confronted and then gunman in Thursday's horrific Fort Hood shooting, is today being lauded as a hero.

The top commander at the base, Lieutenant General Bob Cone, gives Munley credit for stopping the deadly rampage that killed 13 people even though she was wounded herself.

Cone adds that Kimberly Munley and her partner responded within three minutes of the shots being reported on Thursday. Munley had been on traffic duty just moments before she confronted the gunman.

"She happened to encounter the gunman. In an exchange of gunfire, she was wounded but managed to wound him four times," Cone said. "It was an amazing and aggressive performance by this police officer."

Munley was just a few feet away from Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan when she opened fire on him.

Kimberly Munley is listed as being in stable condition at a local hospital.
