She concluded her statement with a purple heart, a sparking star emoji and a pair of red lips.

"I was like, 'I don't know how I feel about this, because if someone is a target, then I'm like, I could get harmed because I am adjacent to where he is,"' she said. 'So I was worried about my own safety. That's all I was caring about.'"
