Mor details in this article from 9 News:
Boubonnais says Murray was dressed in all black with combat boots and he had an assault rifle. Boubonnais says Murray reminded him of a SWAT officer.
“I jumped out, got his attention and called him a name. And then he just looked at me and then he started to shoot me and so when I realized that, I jumped back,” said Boubonnais, “and all I got were two pellets in my arm so I thought, ‘Well, I’ll jump out again’ and then I noticed the lady to my right. He shot a few times. She shot a few.”
“She (Assam) was yelling, I recall, ‘Surrender.’ I didn’t want to get in her way. I was unarmed, so I ran kind of up and parallel because I couldn’t see,” said Boubonnais. “She fired off 10 or 12 shots and we both came around the corner and he started sliding down and he started bleeding. He looked pretty dead. I told her to take a headshot and she said, ‘No, I think he’s dead.’ I took a handgun out of his hand because I was unarmed. I cleared it. It had jammed, I remember that.”
“I told her that’s the bravest thing I’ve ever seen and she said, ‘I was just praying. It was the Holy Spirit to help me do this right.’ That was pretty powerful stuff, very, very brave,” he said.
Somebody alert all those "jump the gun" Freepers that we finally found the "Muslim connection" they've been predicting from the very first moment.
</sarcasm>
PS: She certainly doesn't look like anyone named "Assam". Thin blonde caucasian.
Someone asked earlier why G-d didn’t just have the gun jam... Looks like that happened after all. Thank you for sharing this.
Also interesting to note in the press conference today, they mentioned the shooter had a backpack with hardware having the capability of 1,000 rounds. Assuming this means he had 1,000 rounds of live ammo on him, that could have been quite a blood bath. Apparently he wasn’t just planning on shooting a few people.
10 or 12 shots, yea I imagine did look pretty dead, even only half connected.
