The civilian police officer who shot Nidal Malik Hasan was a female officer. That has to be a real downer for a devout Muslim like Hasan, to whom women should be covered and not heard:

Army officials say the suspect, “the lone shooter” for this tragic incident, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, is currently on a ventilator at a nearby civilian hospital and the police officer who gunned him down, Kimberly Munley, a civilian Fort Hood police officer, is in stable condition.

Lt. Gen. Bob Cone praised Munley’s actions:

Cone said Munley’s aggressive response training taught her that “if you act aggressively to take out a shooter you will have less fatalities.”

“She walked up and engaged him,” he said. He praised her as “one of our most impressive young police officers.”
