ABC Nightline, on Friday Nov. 5, covered the Fort Hood incident minute by minute, including descriptions of what Major Nidal Malik Hasan looked like, with facial expressions, during the incident before he was shot down by a civilian policewoman, Sgt. Kimberly Munley, reportedly a mother of two girls. The main ABC story is by Sarah Netter and Alice Maggin, link here. The title is “Fort Hood Hero Kimberly Munley's Gunfight With Major Nidal Malik Hasan: Wounded in Both Legs and Wrist, Sergeant Kept Firing”.
Earlier Friday, both Larry King Live and Anderson Cooper 360 had covered the incident, with reports that Maj. Hasan was still alive, in military police custody, paralyzed and possibly in a coma. There has been wide discussion elsewhere about his blog posts, and the legal difficulties the government has in pursuing them, given the First Amendment. But apparently Hasan was secretive (despite his blogging) and did not allow people into his home, and sometimes worked on a neighbor’s home computer. Police have seized all of his computer files and other home equipment and possessions to investigate the possibility of other conspirators, but the Army already believes he likely acted alone. Likewise, his service record as a military doctor and psychiatrist was underwhelming, to say the least. The Uniformed Services University of Health Science had been covered in early 2008 in Terry Sanders’s film “Fighting for Life” (movies blog, March 20, 2008).
