Cop says career has been cut short
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — One of two civilian police officers who brought down the Army psychiatrist accused of going on a shooting rampage at Fort Hood said her wounds from the attack will cut short her career as street police officer. Sgt. Kimberly Munley said doctors have told her she needs a total knee replacement, a
surgery set for January, but that her new knee is likely to wear out sooner if she runs or carries the 15- to 25-pound gear pack required by her job. “I do want to stay in law enforcement. I’m not going to be able to do what I did before, which is basically work the street,� she told Wilmington, N.C., television station WECT on Wednesday. “It’s go-
ing to give me another avenue to look in as far as possibly teaching and instructing.� Fort Hood officials said Thursday that Munley, 34, who was shot in the leg and hand, has not started the process to determine if she’s physically able to do her former job. Munley and Sgt. Mark Todd, another civilian officer in Fort Hood’s
police force, are credited with shooting Maj. Nidal Hasan to end the Nov. 5 shooting spree on the Texas Army post, about 150 miles southwest of Fort Worth. Todd, 42, was not injured and is already back at work. Hasan remains hospitalized in a San Antonio military hospital but is paralyzed from his wounds, said his attorney John Galligan.
RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina transportation officials say a security fence will be added at a highway bridge crossing in Raleigh where a man fell to his death while trying to help people involved in a threecar wreck. Multiple media outlets reported Thursday the fence will be put along the westbound bridge of Interstate 440 where 33-year-old Carroll Lee Eames Jr. died Nov. 27 after he leaped over a barrier to avoid oncoming traffic. Department of Transportation Secretary Gene Conti said in a speech at the Crabtree Rotary Club his agency continues to investigate the accident. The fence is expected to cost up to $50,000 and be installed by Feb. 1. Eames fell through a gap between the bridges on I440 over Crabtree Creek.

Attorneys going to court over ‘life’ sentences SHELBY (AP) — Attorneys are set to argue in a North Carolina court why they think a man given a life sentence more than three decades ago should not qualify for good behavior credits that could set him free early. The case of Wilbur William Folston is scheduled for a hearing Thursday in Shelby. Folston is one of more than two dozen inmates that North Carolina officials prepared for release this fall after state courts agreed that their “life� sentences were only 80 years because of a quirky law that was in place in the 1970s. Gov. Beverly Perdue later blocked the release of the inmates and argued that they should never have received good behavior credits that cut sentences in half.

Brewer was opening the jewelry store she co-owns with her husband when one deer passed by. Then she says so many deer appeared that she couldn’t move. Brewer doesn’t remember the deer stepping on her Saturday. But she does recall being eye-level with them before she hit the sidewalk, saying she thinks the deer were as afraid of her as she was of them. Others told her that one deer kicked her several feet in the air before the rest trampled her.
