It started around 8:30 p.m. Monday when Anthony McRae, a 43-year-old with a previous gun violation, opened fire inside an academic building and the student union.

“We won’t stand for any more inaction from our legislators because no one should ever experience the terror and fear that we lived through last night,” she said in a news release. Dominik Molotky said he was in a Cuban history class around 8:15 p.m. when he and the other students heard a gunshot right outside the classroom. He told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that a few seconds later the gunman entered the classroom and fired three to four more rounds while the students took cover.
