The hero cop who ended the bloody rampage at Fort Hood by pumping four bullets into the crazed gunman even though she was wounded is known for her toughness, friends say.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
“She was born and bred to be a police officer. If you were ever to be in a fight, she’d be the first person to stand up next to you and back you up. She’s a tough cookie.”<\/p>\n
Munley’s toughness and grace under pressure were on display Thursday when she and her partner responded within three minutes of reported gunfire, said Army Lt. Gen. Bob Cone.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
“It was an amazing and an aggressive performance by this police officer,” Cone said.<\/p>\n
Munley was only a few feet from Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan when she opened fire.<\/p>\n
Wounded in the exchange of bullets, the 34-year-old Munley was reported in stable condition at a local hospital.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The story’s not all in, and we’re a long way from the facts, but if she did stop the shooting by dropping Maj. Hasan, she’s my hero. And if she didn’t stop him and just entered the building and went to the sound of the guns, well … she’s my hero, too.
