Eyewitnesses to the actual events said: "...Major Hasan wheeled on Sergeant Munley as she rounded the corner of a building and shot her, putting her on the ground. Then Major Hasan turned his back on her and started putting another magazine into his semiautomatic pistol. It was at that moment that Senior Sgt. Mark Todd, a veteran police officer, rounded another corner of the building, found Major Hasan fumbling with his weapon and shot him."<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/13/us/13hood.html |work=The New York Times |title=Second Officer Gives an Account of the Shooting at Ft.
