NC mother describes 'unnerving' situation as students take shelter at grocer after reported shooting
Fox News
The mother of a girl who was in class at the Winston-Salem, N.C., high school where there were reports of a shooter on the campus around lunchtime Wednesday praised law enforcement and school officials for their handling of the developing situation.
"It has been unnerving. My daughter was just on the phone with me a few moments ago. She's trying to preserve her battery because she's been at school all day and her battery is starting to get low. She said there was another altercation inside the auditorium where they were being held on lockdown. It's been an unnerving day," said Wiley, who added her husband is one of many parents now waiting at a nearby Harris Teeter supermarket where the children were taken for safe haven. "Initially they were told to go to the YMCA to pick up the kids. Then they were told to go to Harris Teeter. Once he got to the Harris Teeter, you know, something else happened. So it's just been one thing after another. Just very frightening," she said. When Wiley's husband originally went to the YMCA, helicopters appeared overhead, and shortly after he received a call from the school's automated phone system redirecting parents to the grocery plaza.
