What pissed me off the most was how Obama came here after the shooting.

I was very sad. I felt bad for everyone else.

Each one went there to receive a better future, and their future ended.

When the UCC attack happened, I was at math class in 4th period. There were emergency vehicles constantly on the highway.

During the time of the tragic UCC shooting I was in a relationship with a wonderful girl.

When the shooting happen…I don’t know how to describe it..

When I found out about it, I seen my best friend crying. One of her siblings were there & they were terrified.

My sisters friend Anna was shot in the back and lived. When she went into surgery she only had one request. That she would be able to keep the bullet.
