It’s quite odd that the story around this shooting keeps on changing, but Sgt. Todd is the hero here.

That's not what I said, and it is not what's indicated. You're totally misreading the comment, kalendello.

This guy has a lot of class. He probably knew he took Hasan down, but never sought credit for it and let his partner have the glory.

WordSmith

I don't see him taking any credit.

One thing I think is about Sgt Todd - if this is the first time he's drawn his weapon, then he's a negotiator - he knows how to talk to people - and that's far more important a virtue than just shooting and then talking.

Yes, talking through problems is more virtuous than shooting people, but it's not nearly as effective. Why does would the Ft Hood TERRORIST deserve to opportunity be talked down?
