She then exited the vehicle they were in, at which time, Lanez allegedly began firing a gun at her.
"So I get out of the car and it's like everything happens so fast," she continued.
"And all I hear is this man screaming. And he said, 'Dance, b***h.'
Megan added: "And he started shooting. And I'm just like, 'Oh, my God.'
"Like, he shot a couple of times. And I was so scared."
When asked where he was shooting from, Megan responded: "He [was] standing up over the window shooting."
She continued: "And I didn't even want to move. I didn't want to move too quick.
"I don't know if he could shoot me and kill me."
She described the shock and adrenaline running through her veins as she looked down at her feet and realized she was bleeding.
"So I look down at my feet and I'm like 'Oh my God, I'm really bleeding,' so I drop down and I like, crawl into somebody's driveway."
She said that after the shooting stopped, Lanez immediately began apologizing, begging Megan and her friends not to tell anyone, and he allegedly offered them money if they would stay quiet.
"And I was just like, 'If you're sorry, then help me'," she described.
She said that they didn't even make it back to the house before helicopters and police started swarming.
"I was like 'Oh my God, we all about to die,'"
"The George Floyd incident had just happened; the police are definitely very much like, shoot first, ask questions after."
Megan described the fear that "something bad was about to happen.";
She said that after police ordered them all out of the car, and asked what had happened, she lied and said she'd stepped on glass.
"For some reason, I was just trying to protect all of us," she explained.
"I didn't want to see anybody get killed."
This lie, however, ended up causing some speculation over what really happened that night.
Gayle addressed this by saying, "There are still many people, as we sit here today, Megan, that don't even believe you were shot."
Megan replied, saying, "There was a hot gun in the car, what else, what else happened?"
CBS obtained medical reports from that night, which proved that Megan had bullets and fragments in her feet.
They also obtained text messages from Megan's friend to her security guard that said "help," and "Tory shot Meg."

"We were really close," she said, "we were friends, we hung out like every day."
She said that her anxiety is much worse these days and that her relationships with other people are much "colder" than they used to be.
She said she feels that she needs to be strong and hold it together for "so many people."
To the people who don't believe her, she said: "I'm a victim. I'm the victim, like I'm not defending myself against anything."
