Following Heroism

As the news media begins to publicize the apparent heroism of police officer Kimberly Munley who shot Fort Hood gunman Nidal Hasan four times despite being wounded herself, it is interesting to see so much attention paid to Munley's Twitter feed, even though her most recent post was from July, where she remarks that she is "still recovering from a long night of work from Saturday!" Hundreds of people have become followers of Munley, who is still hospitalized, and many have sent messages of thanks and well wishes.
