This is a really big deal considering she pretty much bled out on the floor at Kroger 4 years ago. I have buddies with ACCPD who have told me some stories about Sgt. Gale. She's a scrapper for sure.

Congrats Sgt. Gale. We knew you could do it.

It still hasn't been determined if the perp in this case is mentally fit to stand trial. The same Kroger, about a year later, was the scene of another near fatal incident involving a LEO working extra duty. He was notified by one customer that another customer had warrants. During his FI with her a struggle ensued and she was able to snatch his gun. He dropped the mag (old S&W with mag safety) saving his own life.

He dropped the mag

Too bad it wasn't "He dropped the hag".

Good for SGT Gale's recovery and return to duty. :)

I remember gathering in the hospital parking lot that night with about 200 other folks wandering if she would make it through the night. I had lunch with her a few months ago, and there was no doubt that she was going to make it back.
