Video shows law enforcement responding to active shooting situation at Apalachee High School
Lyela Sayarath, a junior at Apalachee High School, told CNN that she was sitting next to alleged shooter Colt Gray, 14, moments before Wednesday's massacre. The 16-year-old student said Gray left the classroom at the beginning of their Algebra I class in the morning. Sayarath said the 14-year-old mass shooter knocked to be let back in since the door automatically locked behind him. A girl went to open up the door for him -- but quickly jumped backward after presumably seeing Gray was armed.
“I guess he saw we weren’t going to let him in,' Lyela told CNN. 'And I guess the classroom next to me, their door was open so I think he just started shooting in the classroom.' The junior said students in her Algebra class hid behind desks when they heard gunshots, a harrowing experience she described as 'just one after another.' “When we heard it, most people just dropped to the floor and like kind of crawled in an area, like, piled on top of each other,” she said.
