After a brief conversation, it appears Thompson and the woman embrace.
Thompson is then seen gently pushing the woman into the store. He leads her to the area behind the counter, where she sees the clerk bound on the floor.
Thompson then flashes his gun at the woman. Moments later, he ties her up as well.
In the video, Thompson is seen pouring lighter fluid on the two women as they lay bound helplessly behind the front counter.
‘He started taping me up everywhere and said as long as I was quiet and didn’t speak I’d be fine,’ Camire told KXAS-TV.
Camire said her eyes were covered, so she could only hear what was happening as Thompson doused both women with flammable liquid.
‘I was praying the whole time that [god] would help me, save me, that’s what I did,’ said Camire.
The customer has been identified as Della Witt-Denizeri.
She was rushed to the burn unit at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas.
She suffered burns to her head, face, and neck.
Camire was not injured in the attack.

Andy Harvey, the chief of police in Palestine, said that Camire was able to pull off the burning shirt from Denizeri’s body.
‘The suspect … decided to pour lighter fluid on the cashier and the customer. Right before he left, he lit a match and lit them on fire,’ Harvey said.
Harvey later clarified that Denizeri was the only one who was set on fire.
The police chief said Thompson fled in a white Malibu or Impala on Highway 155.
The car was driven by a female, who is being questioned by police, according to Harvey.
Thompson was later found at a different gas station in the city.
Muhamammad Khan, the store owner, said Thompson bought the lighter fluid from her, left the store, and then came back to commit the crime.
‘All I can say is thank God no one got hurt that bad,’ Khan said.
Thompson has had previous run-ins with law enforcement, according to Harvey.
He has been charged in the past with drug-related crimes.
He has been arrested on a warrant for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and aggravated robbery.
Bond will be set at $4million.

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.
