«Breaking News» Hero mother and miracle teen who survived Uber massacre speak out

The only two women who survived the deadly mass shooting in Kalamazoo, Michigan that left six dead in 2016 are speaking out on 20/20.

In a special that will air this Friday, Tiana Carruthers and Abigail Kopf detail the terrifying day back in February 2016 that they encountered Jason Dalton for the first time, and almost lost their lives.

Carruthers recalls the disturbed and deranged Uber driver at one point by stating: 'The devil is alive.'

Dalton told investigators after he was arrested that a 'devil figure' on Uber was controlling him when he killed six people in between driving passengers for the app.

He was sentenced to life in prison earlier this month.

Miracle: The women were only the two survivors of Dalton's rampage through Kalamazoo which left six dead

'I just kept hearing bullets, just bang, bang,' says Carruthers in a preview of the episode obtained by DailyMail.com.

She later breaks down in tears while recalling how she was forced to will herself to stay alive.

'I just kept telling myself, "god you're going to make it. You can make it,' says the mother.

 Later that day another mother was praying as well that he daughter would defy the odds and come back from the dead. 

'I almost died, and my mom was a basketcase,' remembers Kopf, whose heart had stopped beating before she suddenly came back to life.  

Dalton, 48, pleaded guilty to murder and attempted murder last month, just as jury selection was about to begin in his trial. 

Michigan has no death penalty, so he was guaranteed to receive the mandatory life sentence at Tuesday's hearing in a Kalamazoo County court.

Dalton admitted shooting eight people in three locations in between picking up passengers for Uber.  

Four women were killed in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel restaurant: Barbara Hawthorne, Dorothy "Judy" Brown, Mary Lou Nye and her sister-in-law, Mary Jo Nye. 

Rich Smith and his 17-year-old son, Tyler Smith, were fatally shot while looking at a pickup truck in a dealer's lot. 

'I see pain in your hatred,' Carruthers said to Dalton during the hearing, as she tried to get him to look at her. 

She layter told the man who almost ended her life: 'I hate myself for hating you.' 

Dalton was deemed competent to stand trial and had dropped an insanity defense just before his trial was scheduled to start. 

He has never explained why he randomly shot eight people.

The father of two had worked as an insurance adjuster and had no criminal record before the shootings. 

A gun shop owner said Dalton bought a jacket with an inside pocket designed to hold a gun just hours before the rampage. 

He said Dalton wads 'laughing and joking' at the time, and even offered up a 'one-armed hug' to the manager before making the purchase.

The Deadly Ride will air air on 20/20 at 9pm on Friday, February 22.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
