Description
Students at Ingraham High School describe the moments the school went on lockdown during Tuesday’s shooting.
“We hid in the corner. My friend was on crutches so I was carrying her bag because she was scared she couldn't run,” said Katie Strausz-Clark, a senior at Ingraham High School.
“When I started to hear police sirens it became really real, and I remember having to pull out my phone and actually type out to friends and family I love you, I don’t know what’s happening. I might die,” said Sofie Blazejova, a senior at Ingraham High School
Blazejova and Strausz-Clark said it took 15 minutes into the lockdown to learn the shooting was targeted at one student. The Seattle Police Department got the call of a shooting inside the school just before 10 a.m.
“I also feel really angry because I think this could have been prevented,” said Strausz-Clark.
Blazejova and Strausz-Clark are leaders in the school’s club, Ingraham for Gun Safety. They started the club after the deadly school shooting in Uvalde.
“We felt incredibly helpless after that and we wanted to have tangible activism in our community. When we created the club we never imagined we’d be in the situation we are now,” said Strausz-Clark.
