I am the girl in the back ground wearing the red. I was on my way to the bathroom from the cafeteria when this happened. I was right next to the boy who was shot. I saw everything. If Mr. Wasmer had not made contact with the shooter during the first shot, It would have been me shot. Mr. Wasmer is a true hero. Thanks to him, I am alive.
