Security Guard: 'God Guided Me And Protected Me'

It seemed like it was me, the gunman and God," she said.

Assam worked as a police officer in downtown Minneapolis during the 1990s and is licensed to carry a weapon. She attends one of the morning services and then volunteers as a guard during another service...

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."

USA Today said the cause of death was a suicide..

Well, she fired all the rounds in her handgun and she did shoot him. I don't know if all the rounds went into him or not. But it wouldn't be unreasonable to think that after being shot, he turned his own gun on himself and finished the job. There have been many wounded soldiers that have begged their comrades to shoot them as they lay bleeding to death on the battle field.

The latest is that she fired rounds that hit him in an arm and in a leg. The round that killed him is beleived to have been self-inflicted (suicide).
