Tears were rolling down her face and she looked directly at me and she said, oh my God, Isabella, please help. And I felt so helpless. I was playing scenarios in my head. of how can I get my gun out of the car and help people. I just kept trying to think of a way. Rose and Ida were brought downstairs. One of the gunmen directed Gina to go down in the basement with him.

I believed that they were gonna rape her down there. And I stood up and I turned around and I said, Gina, you stay here, I'll go down there. After I stood up, they said, everyone go down in the basement. I thought I was gonna die. I thought everyone was going to die. And that was my breaking point. I thought, I'm not gonna let this happen. I'm not gonna go out that way.

I looked down the barrel of the gun and with everything that I had in me, I lunged towards the guy with the black hoodie and began to fight.

I looked down, and I saw blood on my t-shirt. And at that point, I realized that I had been shot in the chest.

I remember people screaming, where's the cell phone? We don't have a cell phone. Nobody could find the cell phone to call 911. Ida was screaming, where's Rose?

When I woke up from my first surgery at the hospital, they told me that Gina didn't make it. And I had this overwhelming sense of guilt. Maybe if... if I would have trained a little bit harder and taken a gun away from somebody, maybe if I would have done a better job, that she'd still be here.
