Ashley Salea-Vivas is a 7th grade student at Mountain Vista Community School she told us what she went through.
“The principal says there was a lockdown. Lockdown! They repeated, like, multiple times. And then I went to hide under a teacher’s desk,” said Salea-Vivas. “And then everyone was scared. I was scared, too. I was shaking so much. My hand was shaking. Everything was shaking. I was scared, really scared.”
Editor’s note: A previous version of this story said that the school was put on lockdown and students were dismissed. CSPD said the school went on lockdown and students were released to parents, but the school district says that the school was put on secure status, not a lockdown. The district also said that the school did not dismiss.
