Ambulances are in front of the building, sirens everywhere, police with rifles surrounding the building. They are bringing someone down out of the building #youtubeshooting

After existing the room we still didn’t know what was going on but more people were running. Seemed serious and not like a drill.

We headed towards the exit and then saw more people and someone said that there was a person with a gun. Shit.

At that point every new person I saw was a potential shooter. Someone else said that the person shot out the back doors and then shot themselves.

I looked down and saw blood drips on the floor and stairs. Peaked around for threats and then we headed downstairs and out the front.

Police cruisers pull up, hopped out with rifles ready and I told them where the situation was as I headed down the street to meet up with a couple team members.
