Now, right at that moment,

Sarah Jane reaches her right hand into her purse.

And pulled the gun out of my purse.

A .38 caliber revolver.

And then... My God.

Radiolab

My God, there's been a shot.

There's been a shot.

Radiolab

The bullet flies a few feet to the right of Ford, chips the wall behind him.

Ford freezes in place.

Sarah Jane... Never planned to take a second shot.

Now she's just still standing there.

Oliver Sipple

Before she can take that second shot, the blonde man behind her lunges at her, grabs her gun arm, pulls it down, and deflects it for just that crucial second that these police officers nearby need to get to her.

Radiolab
Oliver Sipple

They tackle her, they take her gun, and they pin her to the ground.

Radiolab
Oliver Sipple

So I couldn't move.
