A reporter with ABC station Watn in Memphis, Tennessee, was interviewing a local woman about the rise in crime when a drive-by shooting erupted in their vicinity and they dove for cover.

Yolanda Cooper Sutton was spelling her name for the on-the-scene reporter, Jay Jones, when the spray of bullets very close by stopped them in their tracks and they dove out of camera range.
“Get down, get down, get down, just stay down and get down,” she told Jones calmly. “That’s Ok. Thank you, Lord Jesus.
