“I almost killed him. One of them could have been dead. Had he not ran, he would have been dead,” Elsie Lee said.

It is a Monday morning Lee will never forget.

“We were asleep, and I thought I had heard something but I wasn’t for sure,” Lee remembered. “I thought I was just dreaming something, and then I heard a big bang again.”
