"I heard one shot like ‘pow’ and then after that ‘pow pow’ behind it like three shots," Harding recalled to RadarOnline.com.
Fearing for her life, Harding described the frantic situation.
"So I said ‘it sounded like a gunshot’ then I heard two more times, I heard three shots I said 'I think that's gun fire' and I just took off and got in my house."
