and began gunning down worshippers, Sardar Faisal happened to be in the bathroom, Sheikh Fahad ran and Amir Daud was just pulling up with his wife in their car, moments late for Friday prayers.
"Suddenly we got fire from the shooter," Daud said. A young man running toward them from the mosque was gunned down before his eyes."I pushed down my wife and leaned myself on her."Shots ricocheted through the car, bursting high through windows, low through the dashboard and all around, filling the car with smoke and air-conditioning gas. But not one touched Daud or his wife.
Inside the mosque, over the course of the previous five minutes, the gunman had repeatedly shot worshippers, leaving more than a dozen bodies in one room alone. "It was just that moment, so I could escape and I just ran, ran, ran, ran and I thought the danger was over for me but then I went out and tried to reach my wife and she was like: I am also here."
