There were about 7,000 people in the building when the shooting erupted.“I heard shots fired. There was chaos. The shots were so loud, I thought he was inside. I saw him coming through the doors,” Assam told reporters.
Assam said she then took cover, identified herself to the gunman and “I took him down.” She credited God for her survival because of “the firepower he had compared to what I had.”
Assam has a law enforcement background but had never fired on a suspect while working as a police officer.
