aden paige is a senior at oxford high school. he says the shooter was so close to his classroom that a bullet pierced one of the desks that was barricading the door. the class was in lockdown for an hour. we heard two gunshots. after that my teacher ran to lock t we barricaded and covered the windows and hid. the very first thing in my head was, this is actually happening. i m going to text my family, say i love them just in case if i were to die. and then after everything kind of calmed down for a second, i was able to like get my breath and rationalize things. community members gathered at a local church tuesday night to mourn the victims.
