Senior Sergio Caldera, 17, said he was in chemistry class when he heard gunshots.
"My teacher goes and opens the door to see what’s going on. Another teacher comes running in and tells her to close the door because there’s an active shooter," Caldera told ABC News.
He said his teacher locked the door and the students ran to the back of the room. Caldera said they heard screams from outside as they "huddled up."
At some point, Caldera said someone pounded on his classroom door and shouted "open up!" multiple times. When the knocking stopped, Caldera said he heard more gunshots and screams. STORY CONTINUES AT LINK at ABC NEWS
