Now she's being hailed as a hero for what she did!

Thanks to a brave gas station clerk, a woman has been saved from her alleged kidnappers. This one recently happened in Waterford, California and netizens are now hailing the quick-thinking “Good Samaritan” for her heroism.

24-year-old Savannah Pritchett was working her shift at Triple R Gas and Mart when a woman suddenly entered the shop, held her hand, and said “Please, please help me. I’ve been kidnapped, they have two guns.”

Gas station clerk Savannah Pritchett is a real-life hero.

Savannah’s immediate reaction was to lock the front door and then give the woman a phone. She then led her to a restroom so she can contact the authorities for help.

After a few minutes, two of the men entered the store. Savannah did her best to stay calm.

She said:

“They asked me, you know, ‘Why’d you lock the door?’ and I told them she told me she started her period.”

Everything was captured via CCTV and armed authorities arrived shortly thereafter.

The crooks were immediately arrested and the woman was saved.
