One of two police officers who confronted the alleged Fort Hood killer says he shot Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan before kicking the man's weapon away, handcuffing him and ending the nation's worst killing spree on a military base.

Sgt. Mark Todd joined Sgt. Kimberly Munley, hailed as a hero for her actions, in a firefight with Hasan that lasted less than a minute. Todd was not wounded, but the exchange left Munley injured and Hasan critically wounded.

Texas: Officer’s Career Threatened
(http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/04/us/04brfs-OFFICERSCARE_BRF.html)


One of two civilian police officers who brought down the man accused of a shooting spree at Fort Hood on Nov. 5, says her wounds from the attack will cut short her career as street police officer. The officer, Sgt. Kimberly Munley, said doctors had told her she needed a knee replacement, which could wear out sooner if she ran or carried the 15- to 25-pound gear pack required by her job. Sergeant Munley told WECT-TV in Wilmington, N.C., that she wanted to continue in law enforcement and that she might pursue a career as an instructor.
