Five people who wounded in the mass shooting were beaten by shooting, while a sixth hurt while trying to flee, Revell said in a statement on Thursday night. All were in fair conditions, said a spokesman for Memorial Healthcare.
Until Thursday night, Ikner was in the hospital with “serious but not lives”, according to Revell.
Aidan Stickney, a 21 -year -old boy who studied business management, told the AP that he was late to class on Thursday when he said he saw a man leave a car with a shotgun and point to another man with a white pole shirt.
The weapon stuck, Stickney said, and the shooter ran back to his car and emerged with a gun, opening fire against a woman. Stickney ran, warning others as he called 911.
“I was lucky today. I really did it. I really did,” he said.
