According to a report released by Fox News, http://www.foxnews.com/story Officer Kim Munley and her partner arrived at the scene of the Fort Hood shooting within 3 minutes after the they received the report of shots being fired.
Upon arrival at the base Officer Munley exchanged gunfire with one of the shooter leaving him in comatose state. Officer Munley is in stable condition recovering from her injuries she received during the gun battle. She continues to receive many messages from well wishers from all over the country.
As a fomer police officer I especially proud of this brave officer. So many times I often wondered if I would be able to respond the way that she did yesterday. Clearly her training took over in the situation and she handled it very well. I also give credit to the police academy that she attended for giving her the training that not only helped her stop the attack, but also kept her alive as well. In fact her whole department that she works for should be proud of her. She definately went above and beyond the call of duty yesterday.
Police officers like her are the reason that people are proud to be law enforcement officers. It is her dedication to duty that helped her stay alive and also saved the lives of many more that could have been killed. The public will never know how many lives she truly saved yesterday. Perhaps we will never know.
Officer Munley is my "Officer and Person of the year."
