He was running across, but he turned back and when he fell, he appeared to be shooting back, and so I turned to my mom who is 80 and I just said run.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\"><b>[DOWNLOAD: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionnewsjax.com\/mobile-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><b>Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks<\/b><\/a><b>]<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">Divine said her only thought was getting herself and her mother out of harm\u2019s way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">She described shoppers scrambling for safety as gunfire echoed through the parking lot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 jsuuLb body-paragraph\">In addition to the scene at the Lowe\u2019s, another victim was found inside a vehicle on Bartram Park Boulevard.
