In Fort Hood story, are reporters rushing to press too fast?

Two stories on "fast news," and how the rush to press in the Fort Hood story may have led to major inaccuracies. ProPublica: "Remember the hero female cop who shot Hasan? Well, maybe she did and maybe she didn't." And, NYT: "Another officer, Senior Sgt. Mark Todd, 42, said (…) he fired the shots that brought down the gunman after Sergeant Munley was seriously wounded."
