Initial reports of Police Sergeant Kimberly Munley ending Hasan's killing spree may have been in error. Senior Sergeant MarkTodd is now believed to be the one responsible for bringing the killing to an end. This is not to take away from the 'hero status' of Munley.

I wasn't going to talk about this because it's sort of passed in the news. But a friend encouraged me to do so.
