SHOT PROTECTING SON
Ms Shetamia Taylor, who was wounded when she threw herself over her son during the attack at the protest march, she would attend another demonstration to show her boys that she is not a quitter.
Ms Taylor, an Amazon employee, had attended the march with her four sons ? ages 12, 13, 15 and 17. Speaking on Sunday from a Dallas hospital, she thanked police for protecting her in the chaos that erupted on Thursday night. She says officers shielded her as bullets whizzed through the air around them.
?I never had an issue with police officers,? she said. ?If anything, it made my admiration for them greater.?
Ms Taylor, who is black, said she went to the march to protest the killings of black men by police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, outside St Paul, Minnesota, and in previous encounters between blacks and police.
Ms Taylor said she and her sons were getting ready to leave when they heard two shots and saw an officer fall. ?As he was going down, he said, ?He has a gun. Run?,? she recalled.
As they fled, she felt a bullet hit her in the back of the leg. She said she tackled her 15-year-old son and ?laid on top of him?.
An officer then jumped on top of them. ?And there was another one at our feet. And there was another one over our heads. And there were several of them lined against the wall,? she said. ?And they stayed there with us. And I saw another officer get shot right in front of me.?
Two of her other sons escaped through a parking garage, while the fourth fled the gunfire with another woman he did not know.
Ms Taylor suffered a bad fracture of her tibia just below her right knee, one of her doctors said.
