I saw the shotgun and saw him and started to shoot. Reporter: The alleged robber returns, shot in the leg and limping but he won’t give up. We were wrestling for the gun. My thoughts were just empty the gun, empty the gun, empty the gun. That’s all I could think of was just to empty the gun. Reporter: He wrestles the gun away, pistol whips her and tries to go after her daughter Ashley Lee. I just wanted him to get out of there and he just kept coming back at me, kept coming back. Reporter: Just like a scene out of a movie, she squeezes off a round at point blank range. Mother and daughter fighting for their lives, finally able to run out of the store to safety.
