“She shielded me behind the SUV, she got shot in the ankle at some point, fell on top of me, used her gun to get back up and re-engaged in the shooter,” Mika said of Griner.

Mika said what he thinks would have happened if Griner and Bailey were not at the scene that day, “I wouldn’t be here right now. And we’d be talking about a massacre.”
