>>> GOOD AFTERNOON, I’M JENISE FERNANDEZ. >> I’M KRISTI KUEGE
>>> BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM! AND I FROZE FOR A MOMENT AND THE STUDENTS JUMPED OUT OF THEIR
SEATS.
AND OF COURSE THEY WERE
STUNNED --
>>> PAINFUL TESTIMONY, A TEACHER
DESCRIBING THE GUNFIRE AT
MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH
SCHOOL AN DAY THREE OF A LIFE OR
DEATH TRIAL OF PARKLAND SCHOOL
SHOOTER NICHOLAS CRUZ.
>>> COURT REPORTER TRENT TELLY
IS LIVE WITH THE LATEST.
>> AS YOU HEARD ANOTHER HEAVY
DAY OF TESTIMONY HERE THIS THE
BROWARD COUNTY COURT AS
PROSECUTORS CONTINUE TO CALL
WITNESSES WHO WERE THERE IN THE
FRESHMAN BUILDING WHEN THE SHOOT
STARTED.
IN ADDITION TO MORE STUDENT WE
HEARD FROM SEVERAL MORE TEACHERS
TODAY, A COUPLE OF WHOM THEIR
CLASSROOMS WERE IS THE FIRST TO
BE TARGETED BY THE SHOOTER.
THE IT BEGAN WITH THE JURY
HEARING TESTIMONY FROM TO
STUDENTS, BOTH OF OF WHOM WERE
INJURED ON THAT DAY, ONE SHOT IN
HER THIGH, THE OTHER SUFFERING
SHRAPNEL TO HER LEG.
BUYERS TOLD THE JURY HE WAS
ATTENDING BAND CLASS IN ANOTHER
PART OF THE CAMPUS AND SHE
WALKED TO THE FRESHMAN HALL TO
USE THE BATHROOM AND THAT’S WHEN
SHE SAW THE SHOOTER AND ABOUTED
TO AN UNMARKED CLASSROOM SEEKING
COVER.
BOTH OF THOSE STUDENTS DID STEAM
TO MAINTAIN THEIR COMPOSURE
WHILE RECOUNTING THE EVENTS TO
THE JURY BAA PERHAPS THE MONTHS
POWERFUL AND MONTHS EMOTIONAL
TESTIMONY TODAY CAME FROM SOCIAL
STUDIES TEACHER IVY SHÉMUS AND
SHE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A
LESSON WHEN SHE SAYS SHE HEARD
THE SOUND OF THAT GUNFIRE, SHE
EXPLAINED IN GREAT DETAIL WHAT
HAPPENED NEXT AND THE MOMENT SHE
SAW THE BARREL OF THE SHOOTER’S
GUN POINTING INTO HER CLASSROOM
THROUGH A SHOT OUT WINDOW IN HER
DOOR.
TAKE A LISTEN TO THIS VERY
MOVING TESTIMONY.
>> AND IT WAS REALLY SECONDS
LATER THAT THE BARREL OF THAT
AR-15 JUST AMBUSHED OUR
CLASSROOM, CAME RIGHT THROUGH
THAT GLASS DOOR, THE GLASS PANEL
IN THE DOOR, EXCUSE ME, AND WAS
JUST SHOOTING EVERYONE
EVERYWHERE.
IT WAS EXTREMELY LOUD, IT WAS
VERY FRIGHTENING, AND I KEPT
THINKING ABOUT THESE KIDS THAT
SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING THIS
AT ALL.
AND THEN MOMENTS LATER YOU HEAR
THE GUNSHOTS.
AND THERE WERE MULTIPLE
GUNSHOTS.
AND THEY WERE INCREDIBLY LOUD.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
AND I FROZE FOR A MOMENT AND THE
STUDENTS JUMPED OUT OF THEIR
SEATS?
>> Reporter: AND SHE GREW
VISIBLY EMOTIONAL WHEN SHE WAS
ASKED TO IDENTIFY TWO OF THE
STUDENTS WHO DIED CALLING ONE OF
THEM, HER GIRL, SHE ALSO
TESTIFIED THAT WHILE SHE KNEW
SOME OF HER STUDENTS HAD BEEN
INJURED IN THAT SHOOTING SHE DID
NOT REALIZE ANY OF THEM HAD BEEN
KILLED BECAUSE OF THE VERY
HECTIC AND SUDDEN WAY THIS WERE
RUSHED OUT OF THAT CLASSROOM BY
MEMBERS OF THE S.W.A.T. TEAM.
SHE SAID IS THAT SOME MEMBERS OF
THE S.W.A.T. TEAM DID TELL THEM
NOT TO LOOK DOWN WHILE THEY WERE
WALKING OUT OF THAT CLASSROOM,
SO SHE DIDN’T GET A GOOD SENSE
OF EXACTLY HOW MANY STUDENTS IN
HER CLASS HAD BEEN KILLED UNTIL
AFTER THE FACT.
A BIT LATER IN THE MORNING WE
HEARD FROM ANOTHER TEACHER WHO
DESCRIBED SIMILAR THINGS,
HEARING GUNSHOTS BEFORE TELLING
HER STUDENTS TO SEEK COVER ON
THE GROUND, THAT TEACHER ALSO
DESCRIBING HOW A STUDENT USE AS
DENIM JACKET AS A TOURNIQUET TO
STOP ANOTHER INJURED STUDENT
FROM BLEEDING SO AGAIN THAT
TESTIMONY STILL CONTINUING
INSIDE THE COURTROOM.
AS YOU CAN IMAGINE IT’S VERY
EMOTIONAL FOR THE PARENTS WHO
CONTINUE TO WATCH THIS
PROCEEDING FROM THE GALLERY.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR
THIS, THE JURY LIKELY TO BE
ACCUSE EXCUSEs FOR A LUNCH
BREAK IN THE NEXT HOUR.
THAT IS THE LATEST FROM FORT
LAUDERDALE.
