A student wounded twice in the leg during a Colorado school shooting this week spoke out on Friday, explaining how he and two friends stood up to one of the two gunmen who burst into their classroom.
Just before 2 p.m. local time on Tuesday, a pair of alleged gunmen, both students at the school, opened fire. When one of the alleged gunmen, Devon Erickson, entered Jones' classroom, student Kendrick Castillo didn't hesitate to fight back, Jones said. Castillo, 18, who dreamed of going to college and becoming a mechanical engineer, was killed in the shooting and eight other students, including Jones, were wounded."It was instinct after about the half second ... because I wasn't sure what was truly happening. It was confusing," he said of making the decision to fight instead of flee."You know, you never expect that to happen at your school. So when it does it's confusing and scary but then you go for it.
