[guy with a gun], I think I would have jumped up in the dark and taken him down. But there were two. I thought about grabbing one, getting his gun, and shooting the other, but it seemed awful risky. The truth is I was brought up in a family that was totally against guns and Iâd never actually fired one. I wasnât sure Iâd know how.

Gary said he was still with Brendan all theway, but they had to get Allison out of there. Brendan was completely sarcastic. Like, exactly how did Gary propose to do that? You know, with the doors locked and booby-trapped. Meanwhile, I started to hear this strange sound. Something half whirring, half grinding. I realized it was a drill. Someone was trying to drill into the gym.

Several studies have pointed out that the number of rampage shootings each year has remained somewhat consistent. However, the number of victims has increased dramatically. The reason? Semiautomatic weapons capable of spraying more bullets in a shorter period of time.
They both stopped talking. I heard the drilling sound and knew they were listening too. They started swinging their flashlights over the walls and the basketball nets and the air-conditioning ducts, trying to see where the sound was coming from. I heard a screech of metal and looked up. Of course, it was pitch-black and I couldnât see anything. Those boys were swinging their flashlights around like spotlights at a movie premiere. Then one of the beams fixed on something. It was a black cable wire coming down from the ceiling. Near the end it curved slightly, and something at the very end of it reflected the light from the flashlightbeam. I thought, Well, what do you know? Itâs a camera .
âDick Flanagan
This was unreal. No oneâs saying anything. Except for the flashlights itâs still dark. In the flashlight beam you can see this wire thing slowly start to turn in a circle. Like itâs looking around to see what the story is.
âPaul Burns
I rolled onto my side a little so I could see what everyone was looking at. It was hard to see the cable, because if the flashlight beam moved just a little, you lost sight of it. Then out of nowhere thereâs this voice whispering in my ear. It was Paul, and he said heâd gotten his hands free.
âDustin Williams
I was so glad when I saw that camera come down. So theyâd know Brendan and Garyhad put us near the doors, and if anyone tried to come in, those doors might explode.

I have a key ring with a nail clipper on it. It was in the front pocket of my pants. I told Paul to put his hand in my pocket and get it. So Paul put his hand in my pocket and, of course, thatâs exactly when the lights started to go back on.
âDustin Williams
You heard that hum, and the lights that werenât shot out started to glow a little. It took a few minutes. I knew Sam was somewhere near me, so I squirmed around until I could see him. He was pale, and his face was a grimace of pain. From the thighs down his pant legs were soaked with blood, and there were dark red puddles on the floor. Iâm not a medical professional, but I sensed it was only a matter of time until he bled to death.
âBeth Bender
[When the lights went on,] Paulâs first reactionwas to pull his hand out of my pocket. I whispered, âNo, get the nail clipper!â He did. Gary and Brendan were so busy looking at the TV camera, they never saw. We were really lucky.
â Dustin Williams
After the lights went back on, they dropped a thinner black wire through the hole. At the end of it was a little, round black thing. It was about the size of one of those microphones you can clip to your collar.
