Ryan Blackwell and two colleagues took cover when they heard gunshots at the Naval Air Station Pensacola on Friday. He was shot multiple times.
The gunman approached the door. He did not open it. He opened fire, shooting out the glass and spraying bullets inside.
Blackwell was one of the eight people wounded at the Naval Air Station Pensacola, where a Saudi man opened fire at about 6:30 a.m. Friday. Three others were killed, as was the gunman. Blackwell works at the international military training office on the first floor, where he processes paperwork for international students. When they first heard shots being fired in the hallway, they closed the door to their office and took cover, hoping the gunman would pass them by. He didn’t.Blackwell said he shielded a female colleague with his body. All three of the office workers were shot.
“My adrenaline was pumping so much,” he recalled. “I wasn’t worried about being shot. I was worried about getting us to safety and getting us out of there.”
