I like that she gave so much detail about how that class was going, right up until the shooting started. Especially the joy she spoke of when the kids knew the answer to her question. I imagine it would be in some way heartwarming to the parents to hear her account - while at the same time of course it highlights how senseless and tragic the whole incident was for all directly involved, and for American society as a whole too.

Something didn’t feel right. I remember during second period we had the fire alarm go off but it was the oddest thing. No one really knew what happened. It seemed that it was a glitch. But I will never forget how weird that day felt. . I remember Nikolas. I had sat next to him in middle school science class. He was respectful to me but I will never forget how everyone said he was going to be a school shooter one day. Mrs.Schamis was the best teacher I had ever had at Douglas during my senior year.

What is a sicko? If this guy is a sickle. How do you feel about incest babies being born?

poor lady had to be so traumatized.. knowing at that exact moment if he had entered that classroom it would have been so tragic🙏 her story was so touching.

This teacher's testimony was heartbreaking. Why did it take the cops so long to get there? 15-20 minutes? What??? Watching the parents made me lose it.

Wait, 15-20 minutes is a long time? Depending on when they got the call, who all was sent over to respond to the call, where the cops are coming from, getting to the campus, finding a safe point of entry onto campus after locating the threat, locating the classroom, having some sort of plan on how to approach the situation and engage the shooter after locating him while also figuring how to get to students without getting shot themselves and how to get students out of the building, etc. 15-20 minutes sounds reasonable. Have cops become teleporting superheroes and aren’t using their powers?

This probably would not even compare to the hurt they already feel....such a loss causes a chronic grief that will not resolve that is punctuated by periods of acute grief. You do not recover, you just adapt to it if your able. You need sensible gun regulation and a massive gun buy back/amnesty. If such controls are not taken then you need to accept as a society these events will only continue and increase while harming all of you, especially the young. It is that simple. Additionally, you need to take mental health care seriously.

Mrs. Schamis giving so much detail is incredible. what an amazing person but the more detail the more sick to my stomach I get. most eye witnesses that take the stand give vague answers (yes, no) which doesn't make you FEEL there in the classroom. her statement makes you feel there and its so hard to hear.

I graduated before the high school I went to started drills, but my little sister is going to be starting high school soon and I’m so terrified for her. This isn’t the life I want for her, but it feels helpless.

I’m considering going this route as well but I’ve also worried about my kids going to the mall, movies and church because the gun violence is getting so bad. I’m considering moving to Europe.

Nicholas was the one who had that "aha" moment right before the shooting started. He enjoying the class one minute, the next he was gone, just like that. I can't stand it.

Excuses are like asses everyone has one ! He shot up classes cause he wanted to ! Strait up truth ! Serious hate and years of resentment toward people.

What truly broke my heart was that the whole time she remained calm and collected, relaying the facts in order for justice to be served. Then she sees the picture of her kids… and she just breaks down. Kills me. Rips my heart right out.

I was in highschool when this all happened. I’m happy to see some consequences finally coming. Long awaited and much over due
