Female officer hero at Ft. Hood

This probably should be in the other area as a post, but so much is being said here about the shooting at Ft. Hood I thought it had this post was more appropriate for this forum.

How brave was the female officer who was actually off-duty at a private detail nearby where the shooting happened and responded to the shooting anyway.

She gets there, comes face to face with the shooter, knows she is going to get shot and basically goes toe to toe with the guy, from what I heard from about twenty feet away, taking four rounds from a .45 cal pistol, the last shot at point blank range. But before she took the last shot she hit an incapacitated the terrorist. I wonder if she feels if the killer is a terroist?

I said it before and I'll say it again. The best men and women this country have, serve or have served in our armed forces. I wonder how many that bastard would have killed had it not been for her.

This lady is a "Real HERO" stepping infront of a well armed "Terrorist" and dropping the terrorist in his tracks preventing more carnage of unarmed, defenseless military personal.

There is no doubt her actions are commendable. She's the model of a hero and will become an inspiration. Praise and thank yous will never be enough to show appreciating for risking her life to save her fellow soldiers.

I'm glad she was able to take down a mass murderer who went off the deep end and prevent further harm.

military law should prevail Right?

he's guilty of killing 13 people at a military Base
as a soldier....

so he is technically terminated by military tribunal
