'Get Down!' Students Describe Terror as Gunfire Erupts at High School

(AZTEC, N.M.) — Heaven Angelica Hughes and her classmates heard loud noises coming from the hallway just before bullets began flying through the window, striking a wall just over one student's head.

"Get down!" her teacher yelled. The 15-year-old freshman fell the floor and hid under her desk. Heaven then sent a text message: There's a shooting here at school, mom.

Across the hallway, David Stone, 16, heard the same booms while in math class.
