A video shot by Casino Fandango security captures IHOP gunman Eduardo Sencion firing his assault weapon in the parking lot. (See below)

The video reportedly shows Sencion exiting the restaurant after shooting the victims inside, and then shows him shooting B.J. Lejon, 67, who was standing near a motorcycle in the parking lot. Fortunately, the helmet she was wearing saved her life, according to Carson City Sheriff Kenny Furlong.

Lejon is seen trying to duck behind the motorcycle, but Sencion sees her. She said she begged him not to shoot her, to no avail. She is still recovering from her wounds.

Her husband, who was inside the restaurant but not wounded, didn't find out about his wife being shot until eight hours later because of all the chaos at the scene.
