Ft. Hood: Yet again, the first draft is wrong

This is old news by now, but I thought it was interesting.

Here's the account of an eyewitness to the shooting of Maj. Hasan, as recorded by the NYT:

[The witness] said he was walking in a roadway between the main building, known as the Sportsdome, and five smaller buildings. Major Hasan was headed toward the main building, the witness said, when Sergeant Munley came around the corner of a smaller building. Major Hasan wheeled on her and shot her several times, the witness said. It was unclear whether she squeezed off a shot or not, but she fell over backward, with wounds in her legs and her wrist, the witness said.

Major Hasan then turned his back and began to shove another magazine into his pistol. He did not appear wounded, the witness said. A few seconds later, Sergeant Todd came around another corner of the same building, raised his weapon and fired several times at Major Hasan, who pitched over backward and stopped moving.

“He shot her, turned away from her and was reloading when he was shot,” said the witness, who was nearby.

Which is not to say this eyewitness couldn't be wrong, but read the full story if you haven't already seen it. It makes a case that the news networks might do a better job reporting if they shut up for awhile and got their facts right.
