She single-handedly stopped the Fort Hoot massacre...

...Munley, who is a member of the base's SWAT team and a weapons expert, ran towards the gunfire and came upon Hasan when she rounded a corner and saw him pursuing a soldier who had already been wounded once.

"She fired on him twice and drew the attention toward her. He immediately spun around and charged her," Medley said. "She fired a couple more rounds and fell back, continuing to fire."

Despite getting struck three times by Hasan's fusillade, Munley stayed upright and kept firing at the charging gunman.

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


She faded in and out of consciousness and for a while the "doctors who treated her were afraid she wouldn't survive."

Her first words in recovery were concern about the victims "She opened her eyes and said, 'Did anybody die?'"
