Chondi Chastain, a 16-year-old student at Dalton High School in northwest Georgia, tweeted Wednesday at the National Rifle Association (NRA) after she said a teacher at her school locked himself in his classroom and fired a gun.

"My favorite teacher at Dalton high school just blockaded his door and proceeded to shoot," a 16-year-old student named Chondi Chastain tweeted at the NRA, the Los Angeles Times reported.

"We had to run out The back of the school in the rain. Students were being trampled and screaming. I dare you to tell me arming teachers will make us safe."

The teacher, Jesse Randall Davidson, earlier this week locked the door of his classroom and "fired a shot from a handgun through an exterior window of the classroom," Dalton police spokesman Bruce Frazier said during a news conference.

Frazier said it didn't appear the shot was aimed at anybody.

The teacher later surrendered and was taken into custody, police said. He has been charged with several crimes.

Chondi wrote in a private message on Twitter that during the incident, a "bunch of kids started screaming and running into our cafeteria and to the back door."

"I was really scared and left my stuff. I tripped over a chair on my way out and thought I would be trampled, but someone helped me up," she said, according to the LA Times.

The incident came after 17 people were killed last month when a gunman opened fire at a high school in Florida.

Since the Florida shooting, students have been demanding that lawmakers take action and pass new gun laws. People have been specifically going after the NRA, challenging lawmakers who have received campaign money from the organization.

President Trump has raised the idea of arming teachers as a measure to prevent shootings, but the idea faces opposition in both parties.
