'I was shot in the face': Amy's 'lucky' escape | From the vault

Amy Matthews was caught in a 2014 shooting in New Orleans while on a holiday after finishing university. The 21-year-old Perth woman was shot in the face in a gang shooting on notorious Bourbon Street. CCTV footage of the shooting shows the busy street deserted seconds after the shooting started. "I heard the first shot… it’s not something you hear usually like it’s a sound you’d never hear, so my brain was struggling to figure out what it was in the beginning," Amy told reporter PJ Madam. Amy travelled back to New Orleans recently for the first time to meet them men who saved her life. #crime #neworleans #documentary *Connect with 7NEWS Spotlight online* Visit 🔗https://7news.com.au/spotlight 7NEWS Spotlight Podcast 🎧 http://smarturl.it/7NewsSpotlight Facebook https://www.facebook.com/7newsSpotlight/ Instagram https://instagram.com/7newsSpotlight/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@7news.spotlight 7NEWS combines the trusted and powerful news brands, including Sunrise, The Morning Show and 7NEWS.com.au, delivering unique, engaging and continuous coverage on the issues that matter most to Australians.
