She and four others narrowly escaped the festival after Ms Beer rammed her car through a roadblock while militants were shooting at them “like crazy”. Ms Beer, who works in the music industry, told BBC North West Tonight: “I honestly did not think I was going to make it, I was a combat soldier in the Army and it was pure instinct that got us out.” “About three minutes after they told us to get out of the area, I was in a car with the DJ. “They were just shooting at us like crazy.” She helped three people escape by dragging them into the car, including a woman with a gun wound in the leg.
