Benman’s daughter, Alexandra, said that she joined the school from the kindergarten to the eighth grade, and ended in 2014. After she heard of the shooting, she said that she was shaking and crying, and her president told her to spend a holiday.
Alexandra Benman said: “It breaks my heart, and makes me sick on my stomach, knowing that there are people I know either injured or maybe they were killed.” “This does not make me feel safe at all in this society in which I was for a long time.”
The school was evacuated, and the families of the students were later directed to the “Lamti area”. Abroad, amid a severe law enforcement, they were united children in their dark green shirts or dresses. Many were going out of school with adults, giving a remaining hug and wiping tears.
“This is not less than ideas and prayers at the present time,” Maynabolis mayor Jacob Fry said at the press conference with the police chief. “These children were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in the church.”
Minnesota governor Tim and Alz described violence as “horrific” in a social media post.
