A student at Florida State University recalled the terrifying moment in which he and his classmates used gum to cover the windows of his classroom with paper, since the shots last Thursday’s mass shooting.
Jeffrey Lafray told Good Morning America, the shots exploded when he and other fast -thought students began to chew a gum after the teacher realized that they did not have a tape without birds to secure paper sheets in the gunman.
“I listen to pop pop pop,” he said during Friday’s interview.
“The teacher was asking if any of us had adhesive tape to record some paper. And no one had adhesive tape and, therefore, some of us, we just got out of gum and we started chewing to be able to paste some paper to the windows.”
The shooter, identified by the police as Phoenix Ikner, a 20 -year -old FSU student who is the son of the deputy of the Sheriff of Leon County, killed two people and wounded another five when he opened fire against the Tallahassee Dettay campus. Stepmotdy.
The mortal uproar pleaded near the building of the Student Union of the Campus, with a capture of heartbreaking images at the time when the armed man walked through the area wishing multiple slugs.
The graduated student, Madison Askins, 23, walked with a friend near the students’ union when he was shot in the buttocks behind, and then fell to the ground, kept his eyes closed and played dead.
“I released all the muscles of my body, closed my eyes and the hero in my breathing. And I breathed short when I needed it,” he told Abc News.
“Be sure if I was moving, I would like to shoot me again,” said Askins, adding that he heard the killer recharge his gun and murmur, “keep running” while the students dispersed.
The first to respond strongly armed converged in the area and faced the gunman, who, according to the officers, refused to fulfill the orders before the police shot him.
Ikner was among the treaties in a local hospital and is expected to survive.
Two employees of Aramark, Tiru Chabba, 45, and Robert Morales, were identified as the two victims killed in the deadly attack.
A reason behind the fatal shooting has not been revealed.
