Woman shot in New Orleans terror attack describes how her mom helped save her over the phone 23-year-old from Alabama was hit in truck attack then shot – but survived the ordeal.
An Alabama woman wounded in Wednesday’s New Orleans truck attack said her mother’s quick thinking during an emergency phone call helped save her life.
Alexis Scott-Windham, 23, of Mobile, Alabama, was in the French Quarter the evening before the attack to celebrate New Year’s Eve with friends.
"So I just told my daughter’s friend to just tie her other sock around her leg so she wouldn’t bleed so heavy," Tryphena Scott-Windham told the broadcaster, saying she’d seen people use such treatments on TV.
Scott-Windham, after the truck clipped her, was then hit in the foot during gunfire between Jabbar and police that followed the vehicle attack.
