MISHAWAKA — Two young girls, sisters, were in critical condition late Thursday after being run down earlier in the evening while crossing the street arm-in-arm after playing with friends.

The driver reportedly attempted to flee, but was stopped at gunpoint by a man who witnessed the accident.

"For him to say them babies jumped out in front of him, he's a damn liar. He's a damn liar," said an emotional Danella Bishop, Knepp's wife.

"Those two little girls had their arms locked around one another and looked both ways before they crossed," said Kelly Fletcher, a friend of Bishop.

Fletcher said if not for Knepp, the driver would have fled. "He would have kept on going, dragging that little girl under his car," she said.

2. May they fully recover. I am glad that man had a gun and stopped

the SOB. (I'm no fan of weapons at all but that is how I reacted)

But mostly let them recover.
