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 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."

Chuck Medley, the director of emergency services at Fort Hood, said many more would have died if Munley hadn't leaped into action.
