Ms Chapnik Kahn, an actress, said she and her daughter were at the petting zoo when chaos erupted, running with a crowd to hide behind a small wall in a picnic area.
“We couldn’t move. I could hear the shots coming closer and closer, and I could feel things spraying over me – from the people dying around us – and it was at that point that I realised that we were preparing to die,” she said.
“I prepared my daughter, I didn’t want her to die with sirens and gunshots and screaming and wailing mothers, so I said to her, ‘go to your heart, where all the love is, and stay there’.
“And we just lay together in this hard space. And we survived.”
The two gunmen, a father and son, were said to have been inspired by the jihadist group Islamic State. Sajid Akram, the 50-year-old father died after being shot by police, and his son Naveed Akram, 24, was arrested.
