WASHINGTON - In 25 years, police sergeants Kimberly Munley and Mark Todd say they never had to fire their weapons. Wednesday, in their first interview with Oprah Winfrey, they described a scene of chaos and confusion, utterly unaware they were allegedly about to go up against one of their own.

With more than 100 bullets fired and already a dozen dead, Munley and Todd arrived to find screaming and panic.

"And as soon as I got out of my vehicle and ran up the hill is when things started getting pretty bad and we started encountering fire," said Munley.

As she fired on alleged gunman Nidal Hasan, she too was hit, in the ribs and both legs.

"When I got shot, honestly, it felt like a muscle being torn out of my leg," described Munley.

Todd was by her side also firing away.

Todd told Oprah Winfrey, "During the incident while he was firing at me I had my instructor in my ear telling me 'relax, calm down, breathe, shoot,' and then as I kept shooting we are trained to shoot until there's no longer a threat. Once he was laying on his back, his weapon fell into his hand and I was like, 'now's the time to rush him and secure him' so I ran up and kicked his weapon away and we placed him in handcuffs."

Wednesday, investigators are retracing Hasan's steps, interviewing six or seven members of his mosque he had dinner with the night before the shooting. As people were preparing for Tuesday's memorial service, FBI (web) agents were rifling through a dumpster outside the mosque.

Wednesday afternoon, more victims shared their feelings about Hasan.

"It makes me feel bad but I can't really say that the perpetrator was one of our own," said 1st Sgt. James McLeod, who witnessed the shootings. "Soldiers do not do this to each other."

ABC News is now reporting Hasan had other suspicious dealings with foreigners than just Al-Qaeda sympathizer Anwar Awlaki. One senior official says Hasan had "more unexplained connections to people being tracked by the FBI."

Meanwhile, there is plenty of finger-pointing between agencies of who knew what, when, and if red flags regarding Hasan's behavior were ignored. The U.S. Senate has launched an investigation and has plans for a hearing next week.
