FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) – Students and teachers at a Florida high school where a gunman killed 17 told investigators how they watched classmates die, had bullets whiz past them and huddled in fear until they were rescued by police.
Prosecutors released more witness statements Friday in the Feb. 14 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The redacted statements are the latest evidence release under Florida law that makes it a public record when it is turned over to defense attorneys.
One girl described hearing two loud bangs in the hallway and thought they were balloons, but then a bullet fired through a window smashed into her computer screen. A bullet then grazed her arm and another went through her shirt. She then witnessed three classmates die. A teacher spoke of calming huddled students.
