Here's hoping she's up and about really soon.

[Blueflag]

I trust her husband has his travel chit OK’d to leave Fort Bragg and get to Hood.

[RobbyS]

Hope the wounds are superficial. That’s not a good place to be shot.

[Marty62]

Wrist? hope its a flesh wound.
Wonder where the JO was headed. Thanks Officer for stopping him.
God speed your recovery.

[Tennessee Nana]

Here’s hoping he gets emergency leave and is flown to her side ASAP...

Barry is not using Air Force One...

Very brave lady. A true hero (heroin?) and patriot. How long before the Left begins trying to dig up dirt on her?

[jospehm20]

I do too. My level of respect for the on-post police just went way up because of her.

[Blueflag]

LOL herionE, not heroin.

sorry ...

[Blueflag]

and I can’t speell iether ;-)

one more try

heroine

there. better.

[Ramius]

So she was off duty? Hadn’t heard that.

[envisio]

Dang!

Brass balls from a woman.

This story keeps changing! Arrrgh! If true, then my highest respect goes out for this hero. But after being in the military and hearing how politically correct our reporting has become (compared to what I really witnessed in Iraq), this story smells of Jessica-Lynch-style reporting.

By the way, I wonder what they mean about being a firearms expert. Does that mean her qualification score? If that's the case, I'm an expert because I qualified at 38 of 40 targets and am eligible to wear my "expert" marksmanship badge. But, I'm not an expert in the way the media is portraying it.

Truly a well trained gutsy officer.

She deserves a huge bonus.

[colorado tanker]

She was off duty but ran right at this guy. She really is a hero. Hope that wrist joint wasn't done damage.

[LibWhacker]

Okay, thank you. I thought ‘heroin’ looked wrong!

[envisio]

the rounds from his weapon are designed to pierce with not-so-much knockdown power. Probably with straight through, making a clean hole.
If so, thats a good, less tissue damage that way.

So much for the argument that Off Duty policemen shouldn’t carry. People were giving the Special Policeman that took out the Knife Weilding Lunatic at a Boston Medical Building last week a hard time for having his gun on him.

>He turned toward her and began to fire. She ran toward him, continuing to fire,

You can’T get braver than that- keep closing the distance until the job is done.

She’s a Texas woman!!!
