In the midst of the chaos, one brave student, who wishes to remain anonymous, immediately called 911 and alerted the authorities. Thanks to their quick thinking and action, the police were able to arrive at the scene in a matter of minutes. They were able to secure the area and provide medical aid to the victims.
Tragically, one person was pronounced dead at the scene, while six others were rushed to the hospital with gunshot wounds.
