Just three minutes after Hasan shot up his fellow soldiers,
Munley tracked him down outside a pre-deployment facility
and unloaded on him at close range.

"She fired on him twice and drew the attention toward her. He
immediately spun around and charged her," said Chuck Medley,
director of emergency services at Fort Hood.

"She fired a couple more rounds and fell back, continuing to fire."

Munley was hit in both legs and her wrist during the gun battle
but stayed on her feet and kept firing at the charging gunman.

"She struck him a couple times in the upper torso and he went
down," Medley said.

"When she rounded that corner, she made a split-second
decision to put her life at risk. If she had not responded the
way she had, we would have had an extremely high number
of dead and injured."

Munley, a civilian cop employed by the Army, was recovering at
the hospital Friday and was unavailable for comment, but she
was doing well enough to take several calls from friends.

This was not the first time she put herself on the line to save
someone else.

Kim Munley's first job in law enforcement was in Wrightsville
Beach.

One of Kim's former partners, Shaun Appler, a current
investigator with the Wrightsville Beach Police Department says
he owes her his life.
