Boston, MA - Even Boston's Police Commissioner had to admit it - this 67-year-old is tough.

In a press conference following the shooting of a Jeremiah Burke High School student just outside his Dorchester school, William Evans spoke about the victims, including the 17-year-old shot dead, later identified as junior Raekwon Brown.

Now, WHDH Channel 7 has an interview with the woman, who tells reporters there that Brown "saved her life, pushed her down."
