SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (AP) - A student at a Southern California high school where one person has been killed and others injured says she initially mistook gunshots for instruments in a band class.
Shauna Orandi was in her Spanish class working on homework at Saugus High School in the city of Santa Clarita on Thursday morning when she heard gunfire.
She says she thought her worst nightmare had come true. She said to herself: "This is it. I'm gonna die."
She was later escorted from the school and reunited with her father in a nearby park.
