Students were taken off-campus to the First Baptist Church to be reunited with their parents. There, law enforcement also questioned those who witnessed the shooting. Senior Ashley Tucker told the Star-Banner that she was in her first-period psychology class when she heard the Code Red alarm. She thought it might have been a drill. She said teachers had the teens construct a barricade made out of desks and anything else they could find against the door of their classroom. She was texting with her mom the entire time.
