What an incredible woman!
When asked by a reporter if she felt like a hero, Assam said, "I wasn't just going to wait for him to do further damage."
"I give credit to God," she said.
"There was chaos," Assam said, as parishioners ran away, "I will never forget the gunshots. They were so loud."
"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 said she believes God gave her the strength to confront Murray, keeping her calm and focused even though he appeared to be twice her size and was more heavily armed.
Murray was carrying two handguns, an assault rifle and over 1,000 rounds of ammunition.
"It seemed like it was me, the gunman and God," she said.
Assam said she was ending three days of fasting on Sunday when fate put her in the path of the gunman.
"I was praying to God that he direct me" in what to do in life, Assam said. "God made me strong."

She's a total badass and a hottie to boot. Go Jeanne!
Absolutely incredible, a modern-day David vs. Goliath. There can be no explanation other than God protecting her when you consider: (a) he was reportedly handling his weapon very professionally outside the building and had proven himself an accurate shooter; (b) he had a faster acting, more powerful weapon and was not taken by surprise; (c) with bullet-proof vest and helmet, he presented a much more difficult target; (d) she was weak from fasting, yet managed to hit him 3 times while he did not hit her even once.
