Kayla Schulz is speaking for the first time on camera since the killing she witnessed.

Past simple

First, we want to warn you, some of the conversation has graphic language and images.

What made you decide to start documenting what's happening?

Well, it's because that's all we can really do at this point.

What has happened in my city is absolutely devastating to me.

I have witnessed and I've seen videos of my neighbors being kidnapped.

And I know that all we can really do at this point is make some noise, make our voices heard, and

film them so that they don't go missing without a trace, so that we can at least record their names and try to get contact information for their family or friends so that they know what has happened to them.

Saturday morning, how did you come to be there?

I went there with my whistle and my phone so that I could do what little I can in order to try to protect my neighbors.

Because it's not only a different angle on things we have seen, but

you also capture things that we haven't seen in other videos.

Several federal agents crossed the street to come over to my window to tell me that I was obstructing, and

they would pull me out of my car and arrest me for that.

I told them I wasn't obstructing anything.

We exchanged some not so nice words back and forth.

The last thing that that federal agent who came up to my window said, and

he screamed it at the top of his lungs right in my face, was that I'm a fucking c.

Have you ever had a law enforcement officer say anything like that?

No one's ever actually called me that word at all.

I was scared, but I absolutely refuse to show them that I'm scared.

I think, and we saw this in the video, that they feed off of that.

They want us to be afraid, and they want us to be intimidated.

That's in your personal experience, that's what you have seen?

They escalate in every single way if they are not able to use that fear in order to intimidate us into that.

So if you're not intimidated, they escalate.

And that's exactly what happened to Alex.

In fact, he stood up for two women that they were absolutely brutalizing and that made them mad that they were not able to intimidate him into tucking his tail and leaving.

Your video shows the two women who are talking with some officers in a vehicle.

Those two women are also visible in Stella Carlson's video shot from the sidewalk not far from where Kayla Schultz's car is located.

In a gray tan hat, an officer who pushes one of the women.

I don't know exactly whose words were whose at that point, but

he, in my opinion, is the one that instigated this.

He seemed like he wanted vengeance for I don't know what.

He wanted to be the big scary guy, and he just had absolutely no control over his emotions.

It was not out of self protection, in my opinion.

You believe that pushing was kind of the genesis of everything else that then followed?

You briefly capture Stella Carlson, the lady in the pink jacket.

You can actually see her documenting this from another.

And when you compare the videos, it really gives a much more kind of rounded view of what is going on.

On your video, we see the border patrol agent who will end up shooting Alex Preddy.

We see him spraying a chemical agent on a woman or attempting to spray a small bottle of pepper spray or something into a woman's face.

And he seems to have some issue with his bottle.

He sort of turns away and checks it for a moment.

Yeah, I hadn't realized that when I first started looking at it.

One moment, there are people being pushed around.

There are people being maced right in front of me.

All of a sudden, I see so many federal agents, way more than was necessary in order to take him down to the ground.

It's so many gunshots, I couldn't believe it.

I didn't immediately register that they were gunshots.

In fact, my brain, I think, didn't want to believe it.

I was hoping, praying that it was anything else but guns.

I ended up looking away from my camera at that point and making out that they were holding real guns and they had just shot him.

After the shots, what do you remember after the shots?

I saw pretty much all of them back away immediately.

I really have barely A recollection of the moments immediately after, other than just the feeling of absolute horror and also rage that it escalated like this.

So they backed up, and I was sure he was dead.

And then a couple of them did approach his body.

Could you see over the hood of your car, Alex on the ground?

I saw him being taken to the ground, and I saw the guns as they were firing.

But at least I didn't have to watch him die.
