Girl’s Guide to Guns Woman of the Year

Here’s to Sergeant Kimberly Munley of Killeen, Texas.
You may recall that this little five-foot-nothin’ ball of fire is credited with taking down Major Nidal Hassan in his bloody massacre at the Fort Hood Army Post in early November.
Here’s what the New York Daily News has to say about this ballsy chick:
“Munley, a 34-year-old mom of two, proved her mettle Thursday when Maj. Nidal Hasan launched his bloody rampage at the Army base.
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.”"
Hats off to you, sister! Your brave actions and ability make you Girl’s Guide To Guns 2009 Woman of the Year!
