Third-grader Samaria Sterlings told the newspaper during class when she heard two gunshots inside her school. Stalling said her teacher locked the door and told her whole class to be quiet and call her parents.
“I got scared and called my mom right away,” Stolllings said. “We had to wait at least two hours, then the police came and pointed their guns at us…they treated us like we were the ones who shot the school. .”
Stallling said lawmakers instructed students to raise their hands and come out of the room. “It was very traumatic and very sad because it wasn’t the first time we had an experience like this,” she said.
