I was in science class. We were working on our analysis questions. A lot of my friends were in that class with me, even Nazz. When lunch started, me Nazz and a few other students stayed to help our teacher, Mr. Gerran, with ideas. After a few minutes we heard what we thought was rocks be thrown on thew windows. Mr. Gerran locked the door and told us to hide. And we of us really knew what was going on. A few minutes later, we heard gunshots right by our class. Two students shot Mr. Ken Cathro. When the two were gone, Kevin and Rolf took him into the classroom and locked the door. Mr. Gerran asked if anyone knew first-aid. I did. I saw that Mr. Cathro was losing a lot of blood. Though he was still alive and breathing.
At this time, the gunmen came into the library and started shooting. It was a really terrifying moment. Nazz even started to cry. Mr. Cathro was then unconscious. Rolf heard cars coming, then looked out the window and said, "The city patrol is here, or how you say police officers!" Hearing Rolf say that, made my day. I was hoping that the police would take care of everything. The two gunmen then started shooting out the window and at the police. The police shot back as well. Mark of them saw Jimmy and Sarah. They were both shot twice. They were wounded. Jimmy tried to get away. After more students were shot and killed, Mark shot Jimmy again, this time knocking him out. John found Lee and thought he would be doing a favor to society by killing her. She was shot twice in the head. She is critically wounded, but survives. The police finally came into school. You'd think they'd be in the library after two minutes, but the police had no map of the school. Minutes felt like hours.
Soon the police finally reached us. Three of them stayed with us, and the rest went into the library. While Mark and John were distracted, Jimmy and Sarah, on the other side of the library, tried to get out through the window. The police outside, went over and got them. When Mark and John heard that the police were inside, they committed suicide. John shot himself in the forehead three times, and Mark shot himself in the mouth. They both died immediately. The police found the two bodies on the floor and knew it was Mark and John because they had guns right next to them. The police took all of the other bodies outside to be cared for. They alerted the other officers that the nightmare was over. We were all happy about that. Happy until we found out. Later, we found out that Mr. Cathro died before making it to the hospital.
That was a day I'll never forget. Most of my friends were shot including Sarah and Jimmy. I just find it unbelievable. I know some of the people survived, but a lot of innocent students were killed in this massacre.
