According to this report, Munley was directing traffic. She responded to reports of gunfire in the area with her partner. She rushed inside a building, saw Hasan rounding a corner. She was standing only "a few feet" from Hasan. She opened fire and took him down. Hasan fired on her and wounded her.

Thursday evening from the hospital, Munley was able to make phone calls. She is 34 years old and has a 3-year-old daughter.

Lt. General Robert Cone praised Sgt. Kimberly Munley's rapid response:
It was an amazing and an aggressive performance by this police officer," Cone said.

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."
