HOUSTON — In an all-too-familiar scenario, some students did not recognize
the sounds they heard as gunfire. The latest shooting occurred Tuesday at
Lone Star College, when an argument led to gunfire that left three wounded.
Daniel Flores, 19, was doing homework in the second floor of the academic
building when he heard six or seven loud pops.
“I thought it was construction,” he said. “Then people started running,
and I knew it had to be a shooting.”
Flores, who is studying business, called his mother to alert her and say he
was OK. Then he and about 60 others bolted into a hallway and fled outside,
coming to a courtyard that separated two buildings. But crossing the
courtyard would mean being in the open.
“Nobody wanted to cross it,” Flores said. “You could see campus police
with hands on their holsters.”
Eventually, the students were hustled into the student services center,
where they stayed for about 45 minutes until they were told it was safe to
leave.
Joshua Flores, no relation to Daniel, also heard the sounds when gunfire
broke out about 12:30 p.m. At first he thought the noise was firecrackers.
Then Joshua Flores, 21, saw people running and someone shouted, “He has a
gun! He has a gun!”
Joshua Flores sought shelter and later saw people tending to a maintenance
worker, a bystander, who had been wounded in the leg. They were trying to
stop the bleeding with a tourniquet.
Westbrook, 20, an electrical engineering major, was near the cafeteria,
listening to music on headphones.
“I thought I heard a loud banging in my headphones, and some lady ran up to
me and said, 'Run away, there’s a shooting!' ” She shook him and
Westbrook fled, with so many others, to the student center.
Westbrook, Daniel Flores and Joshua Flores recounted the day’s events while
at the college bookstore near campus. Many students and staff assembled
there to meet friends and family.
Daniel Flores’ mother, Erika Flores, had rushed to the college after he son
called her and said she got there in time to see police restraining a man
on the ground. One officer put his foot on the man’s head. She also saw
paramedics working on a man on a stretcher.
“I don’t want my son to come back here anymore,” she said. “What I don’
t understand is the kind of security they have. They have signs everywhere
saying ‘no guns,’ but can you just walk in there and start shooting? It
just goes to show no one is safe, whether it’s an elementary school or a
college. I just pray for the ones that were injured.”
She added: “This shows why students shouldn’t carry guns. There should be
more detectors.” |
