Why did the female police officer choose to live a lie knowing full well that her friend shot Major Hasan?

When I read about how Officer Todd shot and wounded Hasan before he tried to reload his weapon, I was somewhat shocked. I was taking aback because she knew that her back was turned to the shooter. She was on the ground in pain. What is worse is the fact she is lying on television with the real hero sitting next to her. Why do we go through great lengths to steal someone else's glory? This little narcissistic liar has been on every show and praised throughout the world. The truth is, she would be dead had it not been for her partner. It would not have been as bad had she included him, but this little insecure liar wanted all the glory.

I hope the media makes her pay in some form or another. Her honor has turned to dishonor only because she wanted to be a glory hog.
