MEMPHIS, TN- (WMC-TV) - She was a good Samaritan, who thought she was helping a woman and her infant child. Helping until that woman shot her, stole her car, and left her for dead. She would have died had another good Samaritan not jumped in.

Three worlds are colliding in this story of heroism and forgiveness as the woman who fired the gun breaks her silence.

"Like any typical day, I was coming home from work. I noticed a young woman with a baby," said Heather Fox. "I said, 'Are you OK?' My heart went out to her. I said, 'Let's go.' I said 'I need to know where we're going.' And she said in a really stern, harsh tone, 'I said just keep driving.' She had a .40 caliber gun and she was pointing it at me. The panic was really starting to set in. I wanted the situation to be over. I opened the door and my instinct told me to bend over. And that's when she fired. And I began to run and collapsed on the ground."
