“Security Guard: ‘God Guided Me And Protected Me’
Jeanne Assam Stopped Gunman At New Life Church”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Jeanne Assam appeared before the news media for the first time Monday and said she “did not think for a minute to run away” when a gunman entered the New Life Church in Colorado Springs and started shooting.

There was applause as Assam went before reporters and TV cameras saying “God guided me and protected me.”

New Life’s Senior Pastor Brady Boyd called Assam “a real hero” because Murray “had enough ammunition on him to cause a lot of damage.”

When asked by a reporter if she felt like a hero, Assam said, “I was given the assignment to end this before it go too much worse.”
“I give credit to God,” she said.

Assam described how the gunman, Matthew Murray, entered the east entrance of the church firing his gun.

“There was chaos,” Assam said, as parishioners ran away.

“I saw him coming through the doors” and took cover, Assam said. “I came out of cover and identified myself and engaged him and took him down.”
“God was with me,” Assam said. “I didn’t think for a minute to run away.”
Assam worked as a police officer in downtown Minneapolis during the 1990s and is licensed to carry a weapon. She attends one of the morning services and then volunteers as a guard during another service.”
