"Scott-Windham returned to Mobile on Wednesday night with the bullet still in her foot, along with multiple fractures. Whitsett remains in Touro Hospital with injuries to his leg, shoulder, back and head, but on Thursday, he was recovering well, Scott-Windham said. Two other friends with them suffered minor injuries, she said.

She'll need to return to an orthopedist in two weeks to check on her foot. The Amazon warehouse where she works originally denied her request for a leave of absence, but the company said in a statement Friday that they've since spoken with her and given her time off with pay.

"We wish her a full recovery and look forward to welcoming her back to work once she's able," said Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel."
