Woman Church Security Gaurd who "took down" the Gunman
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Jeanne Assam appeared before the news media for the first time Monday and said she "did not think for a minute to run away" when a gunman entered the New Life Church in Colorado Springs and started shooting. There was applause as Assam spoke to reporters and TV cameras saying, "God guided me and protected me."New Life's Senior Pastor Brady Boyd called Assam "a real hero" because Murray "had enough ammunition on him to cause a lot of damage." When asked by a reporter if she felt like a hero, Assam said, "I wasn't just going to wait for him to do further damage." "I give credit to God," she said. Assam described how the gunman, Matthew Murray, entered the east entrance of the church firing his rifle. "There was chaos," Assam said, as parishioners ran away, "I will never forget the gunshots. They were so loud." "I saw him coming through the doors" and took cover, Assam said. "I came out of cover and identified myself and engaged him and took him down." Posted by: www 2007-12-11 |
