>> eric houston, he may be holding 35 to 40 students hostage. he has released 11, but he has shot at least nine people as we understand, including students and a teacher. >> i seen a student come out of the spanish class below and he actually was shot in the leg, me and a student down below said you got a student bleeding out on the floor, and he said, yeah, get him out of the building. i opened the door and the cops grabbed me and grabbed the other student and they took us out with them and they wouldn't let us go back in. >> parents rushed to find out if their child had been released. it was a moment of fear and anxiety, but also scenes of great joy and relief. >> i remember my mom, it was good to see her. >> the gunman says this could be a long night. of course it will be a very long night for the parents waiting to hear if their child is inside.
