Guard's hands "didn't even shake" as she shot gunman

The guard who saved untold lives at New Life Church gives credit to God for giving her cover, and boosting her firepower as she shot a heavily-armed gunman.

"I give credit to God. I say that very humbly," said Jeanne Assam. "God was with me, the whole time I was behind cover. Based on the firepower he had, compared to mine."

"I just prayed for the Holy Spirit to guide me my hands weren't even shaking."

I suspect her legal woes are just beginning.

I suspect she'll get some job offers.

I am not poking fun at her. I commented on the sexist babe comment.

For the record, I am fat. I am bald. I am middle class. I am conservative.

Have a day. I don’t know how to post pictures. Sorry.

I was not being mean. I apologize if I offended. Sorry for not being more politically correct. I will keep more of my thoughts and comments to myself in the future.

“I saw him coming through the doors, and I took cover, and I waited for him to get closer...I identified myself, engaged him, and took him down.”

My only critique would be that she probably should have just shot him without identifying herself.

Being wrong may be the least of your problems. You are an idiot.

I just saw in your profile that you have an engineering background. My apologies, that explains everything :-)
