Did you see this report from the News on 6 -

A fast food customer remains in intensive care after being shot by an employee. It happened Sunday night at a McDonald's drive-thru window. Now another customer is saying the victim was trying to protect her from getting hurt.

The News On 6's Jeffrey Smith reports police say Erick Thurman fired nine rounds into Jeff Cox's car during an argument at a McDonald's in Tulsa near 71st and Riverside Drive.

A customer who saw the fight unfold now says if it wasn't for Cox stepping in, Thurman could have opened fire on her instead.

"Just thank you, just thank you for being that prince in the shining armor," said Makayla Hall referring to Cox

Hall says she's been having a hard time. She was there on Sunday night when Erick Thurman, an off-duty McDonald's employee, opened fire on customer Jeff Cox.

"I just feel really disheartened over what happened, because of us," said Hall.

Hall ordered food at the drive-thru at 2 a.m. They waited for more than an hour. She went up to the window and asked for a refund. That's when she says the manager began cursing at her.

"I could have held my tongue a little better probably. But as a person of profession. And as a customer. I really felt that she was out of line," said Hall.

That's when Thurman got involved.

"He then tried to come outside, and charge at us at the window," said Hall.

Hall says Thurman was noticeably drunk and began threatening her.

"He was yelling obscenities at us, and asking us to do sexual things for him, and just calling us names, and things like that. Well we hear from the back, from the car behind us, hey, hey, you know, trying to get his attention," said Hall.

Hall is calling Cox a hero.

"There was no gang banger, no nothing, no drug deal going on that went bad, no nothing of that nature. It was just an unselfish person that saw a situation get out of hand, and wanted to calm it down, and save me," said Hall.

And she says she feels that she's here today, because of him.

"I feel like an angel was over us. And he was our angel. But at the same time, where was his, you know? It's just really emotional, really emotional," said Hall.

The News On 6 went back to that McDonald's on Wednesday and was told that particular manager has since been fired.

Tulsa police arrested Thurman just a few hours after the shooting. They say he admitted doing it.

This an interesting revelation into that early morning incident.

If they story truly did unfold as Hall claims, then Jeff Cox does appear to have outstanding character in rising to the aid of a stranger.

I think most of us have, at one point or another, mentally imagined how we'd handle a situation like that if we were in the same or similar scenario.

Would I have done the same?

I know that in an instant, I'd have to weigh the needs of a stranger versus the needs of my wife to have her husband and of my children to have their daddy. My children always weigh very heavily in all of my significant decisions.

I honestly admit that I haven't any idea how I'd react in a situation like that.

Obviously doing something is better than doing nothing. Nothing is not an option.

I'd imagine that we can only hope we don't find ourselves in situations like that one.

One way I typically seek to avoid dangerous situations is to control my surroundings to the best of my ability. One way to do so is to avoid fast food drive-thrus at 2am.
