The lady raised an alarm, asking them to come to her rescue. Makena and her friends confronted the senator asking him to stop beating the lady.
''Our calls for peace irked him an he pursued us with the stick, throwing it towards our direction," she said.
She further narrates that the senator rushed back to his car for his pistol after his wooden stick failed to hit the group that was seeking to broker peace between him and his female company.
"The lady he was beating told us to run away since the senator had gone to his car to fetch his firearm. We ran to different directions in fear. He came after me and fired at me," she narrates further.
Makena stated that the senator fired two shots at her, with one hitting her leg.
The bandaged Makena claims that she does not have the financial acumen to continue with the court case against the affluent politician.
