One of two police officers who confronted the alleged Fort Hood killer says he shot the man before kicking his weapon away, cuffing him and thus ending the nation's worst killing spree on a military base.
Sgt. Mark Todd joined Sgt. Kimberly Munley, hailed as a hero for her actions, in a firefight with Hasan that lasted less than a minute.
Todd was not wounded, but the exchange Thursday left Munley injured and Hasan critically wounded.
Todd rejects the notion that he's a hero, saying the confrontation with Hasan was what he was trained to do.
