Santa Clarita shooting: Saugus students barricaded themselves in classrooms, fearing gunman would target them
Some students heard gunshots. Others got text messages from friends. Others saw classmates running and joined them.
The six students barricaded the doors with tables, but they didn’t have a key they needed to lock the doors, which open outward.“We were scared the shooter would come in,” Salman said. They hid under tables and placed boxes in front of themselves, she said, so the assailant would “think it’s boxes under the table and not people.”
Another member of the band, 17-year-old senior Ayla Wright, said she saw a wounded student being tended to in the choir room. She said that had she and her bandmates been practicing at the time, members might not have heard panicked shouts warning of the shooting. “That’s when my heart sank,” he said. In an instant, the class of about 30 were up and barricading the doors with desks and tables. They’d practiced this before, but “there was just something different about it from a simple drill to real life.”
