So I go around the way, and these two guys have this girl down on the ground,* he said. Without hesitation, he rushed in.
I ran up and shoved one of them, and this guyI tried to grab himand he spun around. I turned this way, and I thought the guy hit me. But he shot me. He shot me in the neck, and then he shot me in the shoulder, Saturn recalled.
At first, he didnt even realize what had happened. I thought he punched me. I didnt feel the gunshots at first, he said. I just felt a thud, and then I tried to move, and I was like, Oh s**, somethings wrong.*
