Raleigh native Stacey Wang kept her active shooter knowledge
from Leesville Road High School in Raleigh.

Wang, who is in her first semester at Brown University, had
to use the training during Saturday’s shooting at the school.

“Me and my roommate stayed there for, honestly, hours,
crouching underneath our desk trying to find blind spot that, like, even if
someone comes in, they wouldn’t be able to find us,” Wang said.

Wang added that the training, “really helps.”

Wang said she’s changing her flights to come home as soon as
possible this holiday, and she’s thinking of those who won’t be home this year.

“I just can’t imagine what it is [like] for their family
members when they’re expecting, like, a nice reunion, and they just … don’t get
to anymore,” Wang said.

All classes and exams are canceled for the rest of the semester
at Brown University.
