"It started hurting really bad, started burning," Cubbage said.
She said she remembers her loved ones shielding her and offering help.
Police said three teens opened fire outside of her home.
She believes her nephew was the intended target because he had exchanged words with one of the suspects earlier in the day and had planned to fight him.
After she was shot, she said, the teens didn't appear to show any remorse.
"Them kids are nothing but punks, that's all they are," Cubbage said. "They need to grow up and quit acting like that."
