It would not be difficult to deduce from the
class roster, names of students who survived
the shooting without injury.

Shouts, cries, sobs, more shots, maybe 30 in all
The first attack came in Room 206, advanced hydrology taught by Dr. Loganathan. There were about a dozen graduate students in the class. The gunman entered wordlessly and began shooting. As the students scattered, a bullet hit Partahi “Mora” Lumbantoruan, a doctoral student. His body fell on top of fellow graduate student Guillermo Colman. Then the shooter picked off people one by one before leaving.
AND THEN THIS...
Mr. Colman, protected by his classmate’s prone body, was one of only four in the room to survive. The others were Nathanial Krause, Lee Hixon and Chang-Min Park.

You said — “It would not be difficult to deduce from the class roster, names of students who survived the shooting without injury.”
Very true. And if we hear nothing of an interview from the surviving students (all a reporter would have to do is ask each one...) — then that would basically show us that this “anonymous student” is nothing more than a “literary fiction” perpetrated upon us by a professor.
In the meantime, this deserves “news category” as much as Aesop’s Fables do...

Thanks for all the “leg” work! Great job!
