“We all took off running down the breezeway toward the library, a boy and I collided while running because of the chaos and it knocked me to the ground. A counselor kept screaming that someone needed to tell the people in the library, and I told her id do it,” Mintz wrote.
He ran through the library to notify people of the shooter, then burst through an emergency exit and ran back toward Snyder.
“I saw a young girl who seemed to just be showing up to school and I yelled at her ‘you cant be here’ ’there’s somebody shooting, you need to leave,'” Mintz wrote. “Her face, it changed, she seemed so scared.”
After what felt like days, he wrote, an officer arrived and tried to sort out whetherMintz was the shooter.
“A friend came out of the classroom and kneeled down beside me, traumatized and crying, I think she tried to pray with me, the only thing I could say was ‘its my son’s birthday’ ‘please call my sons mom and tell her, I can’t pick him up from school today,’” Mintz wrote.
And then his friend, an emergency medical technician, arrived, one of the first responders on scene.
“When I saw him,” Mintz wrote, “I KNEW WE WERE ALL GOING TO BE OK.”
