An otherwise normal Tuesday morning for 7-year-old Gage turned upside down when his school teacher called everyone back inside and told them to hide under their desks on Nov. 14. The teacher locked the classroom door, seconds before someone tried to enter.

Gage didn’t know that the school’s administration had locked down the building after hearing gunshots about a quarter-mile away.
