Mighty Mouse runs to gunfire and ends it, engaging in some impressive active shooting protocol. Thanks Sergeant Kimberly Munley!!


From The New York Times:

The police officer who brought down a gunman after he went on a shooting rampage at the Fort Hood Army base here was on the way to have her car repaired when she responded to a police radio report of gunfire at a center where soldiers are processed before being sent overseas . . . .

Sergeant Munley . . . bolted from her car, yanked her pistol out and shot at Major Hasan. He turned on her and began to fire. She ran toward him, continuing to fire, and both she and Major Hasan went down with several bullet wounds . . . .

[She] had received specific training in a tactic called active shooter protocol, which was intended for this kind of situation.

Her partner in [the beachside town of Wrightsville, N.C., near Wilmington], Investigator Shaun Appler, recalled how Sergeant Munley saved him one night when she wrestled a large man off him after the man had pinned him down and was trying to take his gun. She earned the nickname Mighty Mouse for that . . . . [she stands 5-foot-4).
