Surviving a Hostage Situation | No Man Left Behind

it’s hard to describe what was going on
there is total not panic but chaos
pandemonium I don’t know that anybody
was ready for Anita’s to shoot me I
wasn’t after the shot it was a throbbing
burning pain and I immediately became
concerned about the blood
you know if you get shot you gotta stop
the bleeding I’m thinking that this is
this is it is wrong one hi he’s gonna
shoot me the chance on the one guy right
here in the front seat of this crummy
car so as I pull myself up a little bit
in the front seat he fires again around
enters my right shoulder
it makes us on the top of our shoulder
as I come back up he’s again standing
there the gun at my head
although here is a big click the gun
didn’t fire and that was like the green
light for me to take off and do
something I didn’t I was gonna be killed
right there but but basically drives you
in that situation is the desire to
survive and it’s amazing what you can do
what the body can do when you get into
survival mode you can do a lot more than
you think you can so you know I’ve been
shot twice now I’m coming hey Randy you
want to get my hands on
everything else this was all happening
in split seconds and he had a whole lot
of time to do a lot of philosophy
thinking of my family
oh it’s strictly in survival you can
what if the situation forever normally
in a hostage situation the sooner you
take evasive action the better your
chances of survival we didn’t see the
opportunity from the xscape we didn’t
see that they were actually going to
kill us I look back and I’m very
critical of myself some of those things
that may have changed the outcome they
have avoided those situation
but one never knows the bottom line is
we both survived
