Student recounts deadly California school shooting

Описание: (16 Nov 2019) Students and others gathered at a makeshift memorial in Santa Clarita, California, Friday where people left items - balloons, cards and stuffed animals - a day after a teenager opened fire after being dropped off by his mother at Saugus High School in the Los Angeles suburb.
The attack killed 15-year-old Gracie Muehlberger and 14-year-old Dominic Blackwell. Two girls remain hospitalized but are expected to be released this weekend.
"It definitely has already hit me, but I keep trying to just not think about it and think of positive things," said Saugus High School student Isabella Esser. Esser is a Junior at Saugus
The shooting in an outdoor plaza took just 16 seconds, authorities said.
Authorities say Nathaniel Tennosuke Berhow pulled a gun from his backpack Thursday at Saugus High School in the Los Angeles suburb of Santa Clarita, shot five students at random and then shot himself in the head. It was his 16th birthday.
He died at 3:32 p.m. Friday at a hospital with his mother present, according to a Sheriff’s Department statement.
Esser recalled the moments when she reacted to the shooting. "I was just texting every single person I knew and I was freaking out. I was with my friend and we were just crying," she said.  
"It was a terrible feeling because we didn't know where the suspect was."
Three off-duty law enforcement officers were first on the scene and treated some of the wounded until paramedics arrived.
