The two happened to be walking through the Bardo Museum when the terrorists struck. The couple was caught on camera running during the attack.

"We saw him, it was right in our nose. We started running. The first thing that we heard was bomb and then him shooting. And we had to run like crazy," said Giovanna Gonzalez.

And when the shooting began the Gonzalezes had one thought.

"I was going to die," she said.

They hid for about three hours.

Tunisia's Interior Ministry released security camera footage of the gunmen walking through the museum.

The one-minute video was posted on the ministry's Facebook page showing the two men walking through the museum, carrying assault rifles and bags.

Tunisian prosecutors say 20 people are being detained in connection with the attack.

It was two Tunisians who trained in neighboring Libya who opened fire in the museum Wednesday.  They died in a shootout.

But the Gonzalezes are just happy to have survived.

"I thank God that I'm here and see my family – my mom and daughter," said Giovanna Gonzalez. "I'm happy to be home…I'm happy to be home."
