A freshman who attends the Florida school where 17 students and teachers were shot dead said the shooter let him escape and urged other students to “get out” because “things are gonna start getting messy.”
Chris McKenna, 15, said that he ran into the alleged shooter, Nikolas Cruz, a 19-year-old who wasn’t attending school because he'd been expelled, in the hallway.
