"I had been out grocery shopping and stuff, and I hear a woman carrying a baby yelling, running down the street, and I guess it was just the mom instinct, you know?" she recalled."You got a panicking mom next to me. She didn't want to sit and wait for an ambulance to come. But I knew my car wasn't going to make it over to Children's Hospital because I didn't have enough gas in the car," said Outlaw.
Officials say the Outlaw's vehicle that was used to transport the mother and child is being held at the scene.
