California Mom Shot 5 Times Protecting Her Children In Mass Shooting And No One Who Later Saw Her Bleeding To Death Was Ready To Help Her

According to BBC News, An Asian woman name Tiffany Phommathep was shot five times while protecting her children in series of shootings that occurred on November 13 and 14 in Rancho Tehama, California. Tiffany Phommathep was shot by 44-year-old Kevin Neal in the Rancho Tehama shooting, which left five dead and 12 wounded earlier this week.

On Tuesday morning, Phommathep was dropping off three of her four children at school. At this time, Kevin Neal pulled up to the school alongside her truck and started firing from a high-powered rifle. As shots rang out, she threw herself on top of her 10-year-old son sitting in the passenger seat, shielding him from the bullets. She sustained four shots to her back and shoulder and one shot to her hip.

Her three children were also injured in the shooting, 10 -year-old john Jr, was shot twice in the calf, 6-year-old Jake was shot in the foot, and 2-year-old Nikos was cut by glass, a bullet narrowly missing him lodging itself in the car door instead.

"She was in so much pan, but she had to protect her kids," her husband, Johnny Phommathep, told L.A. times. "She said the gun felt like it was a thousand pounds, and it was like there was lava in the back of her shoulder."

In need of immediate help, Phommathep "floored it as hard as she could," believing she was going to die as she bled profusely and drifted in and out of consciousness. She pulled into a gas station, where she and her sons frantically screamed for help. She mustered the strength to ask four different people for assistance, dragging her bleeding and broken out of her car, but was turned down each time.

She continue searching for help saying, "Found some more strength to open my window, and I hopped out to her and asked her, 'can you help? I'm shot, I'm dying and my kids are in the car." Phommathaep said the lady couldn't help her her because she was late for work and her car was just a two seater. "That hurts my heart a lot to hear her say that."

Unable to find willing aid, Phommathep got back in her car and drove five miles before spotting a sheriff's car. "She crawled out, bleeding, "said her husband. The family finally found help from Tehama Country Assistant Sheriff Phill Johnston, who was able to secure medial assistance for the dying woman and her wounded children. "If it wasn't for him, my wife wouldn't be here."

Johnny Phommathep is just grateful that his family are alive and recovering.
