Wow! That was a good shot. In fact, it made me jump up in my chair a bit. I have never been through what that woman dealt with, somebody pressing a loaded gun into my back and using me as their shield. I have no idea how I would react. I can only hope my sense of survival would guide my actions or inaction. I’m sure she was pleading for her life.
Did you see her tip her head back toward the perp just as the sniper took the shot?
If you.or any of us are ever in that situation, might try to keep your head down and to the front, in hopes of keeping it out of the way!
