## Transcript

I was shot about three times in my leg so I had fallen down. I tried to get back up [ BLANK_AUDIO ] but [ BLANK_AUDIO ] everyone started running everywhere. I got trampled over and [ BLANK_AUDIO ] I shattered and broke my bones on my left leg. So by this time I couldn't walk at all. All I could do was lay down there while everyone was just running on top of me, trying to get where they had to be. I hear him come back. He's shooting everyone that's already dead on the floor, making sure that. I was able to peek over And I can just see him shooting at everyone. And I can hear the shotguns closer.

And I look over and he shoots the girl next to me. And I'm just there laying down. I'm thinking, I'm next, I'm dead. So I don't know how but, by the Glory of God he shoots towards my head but it hits my hand. And then he shoots me again and it hits the side of my hip. I had no reaction I was just prepared to just stay there. Laying down so he won't know that I'm alive. I'm looking up and some cops which I wish I can remember his face or his name because till this day I am grateful for him. He looks at me, he makes sure that I'm alive and he grabs my hand and he's like this is the only way I can take you out.

I'm like please carry me because I'm in pain right now. Couldn't walk or anything. So he starts to drag me out across the street to the Wendy's and I'm grateful for him but the floor is just covered in glass. So he's dragging me out while I'm just getting cut on my behind, my back, my legs And I don't feel pain but I just feel all this blood, on me from myself, from my other people. And he just drops me off across the street and I look over it's just bodies everywhere were all in pain. I want the world to know that our community we are together. We're helping each other. We're getting through this together.

I've seen so much love from everyone not to only me but to other victims, to the families, and we really have each other's backs in these situations that happen.
