"We waited 10 to 5 minutes, I don't really know, and then we went to the gym, and then the doors locked, just to make sure [the shooter] didn't come. We waited in the gym for more news and everyone was okay or most people were. Halsne then said his friend got hit in the back by a bullet. I was super scared for him, but I think now he is okay, Halsne added."
