00:00Yeah, it's not the thing you expect the last three days of your high school to have happen.
00:18We learned that a student's life was taken too soon by this vicious act of violence.
00:25I can hardly even imagine the horror and the grief that the families must be feeling.
00:31And of course, our prayers are for the complete recovery of the remaining victims.
00:36Your children are texting you that they're hiding under your desk and that bullets are hitting your window or things are hitting your window.
00:42It's a horrible feeling.
00:44That's all I'm going to say.
00:53So the announcements came on saying it was a lockdown, stay safe and stay hidden.
00:58And our teacher told us to hide behind the equipment in the room because there's weight equipment.
01:02So we hid behind the weight equipment and we just stayed there until the cops came in the room.
01:10They busted in the room and they were asking if there was any suspects in the room, if we were okay.
01:17And they escorted us out to the front of the building.
01:20I'm not sure what's going on because the fight for life kind of makes you think different.
01:25Because they're telling everybody it's okay, but when you have a helicopter landing and a fight for life coming, it's a little concerning, you know.
