Witness Jerry Sandoni was in the classroom at the time the shooting took place. He said the gunman was not in the class the entire time but entered toward the end of class.

“He came in from the door on the stage and just started shooting. He didn’t say anything,” Sandoni said.

Sandoni described the shooter as a white male wearing a black shirt and said he had tattoos on his forearms.

Sandoni sustained a lump on his forehead which he says he got when he fell down during the rush to get out of Cole.

Three other victims were found inside Neptune Hall adjacent to the scene of the shooting.

The victims inside Neptune have been identified as Jeremy (last name unknown), Harold Ng and Joseph Turzy.

All three sustained minor wounds. Turzy was wounded in his right calf and right hand. Ng and Jeremy both had wounds to the backs of their heads but were alert and speaking.

After a makeshift triage area was organized, a sweep was made to find any additional victims. None were found.

Turzy described the shooting as happening very quickly.

“I went down real fast. I was shot while I was running,” Turzy said. “The shooter was tall, white and wearing a black hat and dark glasses.”

Several students administered first aid to the victims prior to paramedic assistance arrived.

Andrew Patten, an Eagle Scout, was on scene helping the wounded

“I’ve trained for this kind of thing but I never thought a day like this would come,” he said.

Eric Nealson, a Wilderness First Responder, was visiting a hall director when the shooting occurred.

Nealson used his training to administer first aid to victim Joseph Turzy.

“I was trying to stay out of the way,” Nealson said. “It’s good to let the people in charge take care of things.”
