And I realized she was really shot. So I... turned on the flashers, started honking my horn and blinking my red lights because there was one vehicle sitting in front of me. It was a slow red light. They finally moved and I ran the red light. I said, Tex, where's the closest emergency room? I can drive, but I don't know where the closest hospital to right here is.

All I was thinking is I needed to be able to get her someplace as quickly as possible, as safely as possible. And I said, well, you're going to have to direct me because I can't navigate. I'm geographically challenged. I can't navigate and drive at the same time. So he told me where to go.

He held her head and he said, Diane, Diane. And I started to try to talk to her. She started hyperventilating and then she made noises like I've never heard a body make. And I thought she died because it was not things that she could control. I just wanted to get with the hospital. I don't know. I was feeling like I can't panic, if that's a feeling.

I didn't want to panic because I needed to drive and I needed to be safe. I needed to drive like an ambulance driver. The thought went through my mind that I should call 911. And my phone was in the back seat in my purse because Friday, it just went kaflooey. I could text from it, but I couldn't make any phone calls. So I'd use Diane's phone all weekend because mine didn't work.

It was plugged in right next to him in the back seat. And I didn't think about calling because the next thought was, well, what am I going to tell him? I'm going to sit in this parking lot while my best friend bleeds to death. And I didn't know if she was bleeding or not because I didn't know where she was shot.

Why? He said, Emory, he said they went there. And I guess he had been there. Diane had never been there. All I was thinking was being safe. I had to run several red lights and look at the traffic and make sure I didn't hit any, that I wasn't going to create any accidents because I was probably driving, you know, 50 miles an hour. As we were going down Morningside, Tex said, be careful.

There might be people out here with baby carriages. And it annoyed me. And all I said was, not now. Because there weren't going to be any people out there then. I've got this. I said, I've got this. So I wasn't going to slow down.

We got out of the vehicle. The valet came and got the car. I got out. He got out. And after he tried to get her out, they brought a wheelchair out. They didn't have a gurney. He was directing me to like I didn't know how to drive into a valet. And I thought, what are you doing? There were several times that I was wondering why he did things. And he was still calm. You can see it in the video now.

We went out. They put her in an emergency bay. She had been unconscious. When she made those noises, she lost consciousness, and she never regained it. Until she got back and they were giving her fluids and stuff, she regained consciousness momentarily. There was a very small waiting room there within the emergency rooms, and we were in there.
