“If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t be alive,” Harwell said. “She lunged at him, and that’s why she’s dead. I don’t even know her name. I want to tell her family thank you.” (via The Washington Post)
Then the shooting started.
But the shooting continued, Harwell said, and the gunman — identified by police as 18-year-old Payton Gendron — fired too many rounds to count. She called for her daughter and partner, then dropped to the floor and tried to crawl away on her stomach.Live updates: Suspect in Buffalo shooting was investigated last year over threatening statements
As shots rang out, the sounds bounced off the walls of the grocery store. It sounded like they were coming from everywhere. Food items fell off shelves. Other shoppers and store clerks tripped over themselves trying to escape.The gunman was stalking through the store, she said, apparently searching for victims. Of the 13 people shot, 11 were Black, according to law enforcement officials, who are investigating the shooting as a racially motivated hate crime.
Police evacuated Harwell to the north side of the supermarket about 20 minutes after the shooting began, and Lamont and Londin Thomas to the south side. Ten minutes later, after Gendron had surrendered to law enforcement, the family was reunited.“I just cried the rest of the day,” Harwell said.Harwell and Lamont Thomas were praised by faith leaders at a prayer vigil Sunday morning for protecting their daughter and helping her process the violence at their grocery store.
