Gunshots...

And then I heard it... POW! a loud gunshot echoed through the school. Hey I'm Rebecca and I survived a school shooting. The gun shot 3 more times after that and I could hear little kids screaming. Whoever this is must be super evil to shoot kindergartners... I heard the gun reload outside my classroom, so I hid in the little cabinet. Then he whipped the door open and I heard my classroom fill with terrified screams. He had just shot 7 kids, when I came out of the cabinet I saw blood everywhere. I was terrified at what I saw and I wanted to get out of there as fast as I could. I looked around the room and then I spotted a window, I grabbed everyone’s backpacks and made a rope. I hung it out the window and climbed down as fast as I could. I ran so fast I thought I was gonna collapse, I ran a few miles before I saw my neighborhood. I slid under the gates and into my neighborhood, I ran home and when I got there my mom asked me what was wrong and why I was home. But all I could do was cry.
