One of the wildest parts ab yesterday is that bc cell service was so bad, I was getting updates about what was happening from friends who weren’t there. I learned that there was a shooter from screenshots sent to me from Twitter. So I don’t know what’s happening as I’m living it. – at Kansas City, MO
Omg I was at the rally and the shooting. I was inside when everybody started running so I started running. I barricaded behind a large sign with like 15 other traumatized people. I’m ok—this is hands down the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced. – at Kansas City, MO
