An Alabama mother who survived the brutal New Orleans terror attack on New Year's Day battled her employer, Amazon, for a leave of absence from her warehouse job but faced refusal at first. The young woman found herself amid chaos on Bourbon Street where she got caught under an assailant's vehicle and shot in the foot, which ended up with multiple fractures and a retained bullet. Amazon later made a U-turn after public outcry, extending paid time off to 23-year-old Alexis Scott-Windham as she recovers.
