i heard that witness on cnn and she sounded credible. i think the woman who spoke about this may have been the only witness to it. the police will likely check out her story. seems like an odd thing to lie about. she also said she was muslim - which is something they can easily check out. it would be odd for a muslim, first thing after observing the most horrific thing imaginable, to make up a lie to make the attacker seem motivated by her own religion.
