Hero Cop's First Words After Surgery: 'Did Anybody Die?'

Sgt. Kimberly Munley Lost So Much Blood Doctors Feared She Wouldn't Survive

Nov. 7, 2009—

After Sgt. Kimberly Munley stopped the Fort Hood massacre by shooting Major Nidal Malik Hasan several times, she collapsed from her wounds and doctors who treated her were afraid she wouldn't survive.
"She was fading in and out of consciousness. She wasn't saying much," medic Francisco Delserna, who began treating Munley when the shooting stopped, told "Good Morning America" today.
Munley, a 34-year-old former soldier who became a civilian cop on the Fort Hood base, was shot twice in both legs during Thursday's confrontation. Two powerful "cop killer" rounds allegedly fired by Hasan tore through her left thigh, exited and blasted through her right thigh as well. She was also struck in the wrist.
Munley, the mother of two girls, was sped to Metroplex Hospital several miles away where doctors say she lost so much blood that they feared she wouldn't make it.
Munley proved to be as tough in the operating room as she was while confronting Hasan in their close range shootout.
Dr. Kelly Matlock, who treated Munley, said her first words in recovery were concern about Hasan's victims.
"She opened her eyes and said, 'Did anybody die?' That's what she said, 'Did anybody die?'" Matlock told "GMA."
Munley now knows that the man she shot is alive, but that he is accused of killing 13 unarmed people and wounding 30.
Chuck Medley, the director of emergency services at Fort Hood, said many more would have died if Munley hadn't leaped into action.
"If she had not responded the way she had, we would have had an extremely high number of dead and injured," Medley told ABC News on Friday. "The number of lives that this person saved ... we will probably never know. But there is a lot of ammunition left, a lot of magazines," he said referring to what Hasan was allegedly carrying.

I'll leave alone the obvious "cop killer" bullet reference at this time for other commentators.
