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.
ANONYMOUS UNINJURED IS ONE OF
THESE FOUR GRADUATE STUDENTS
Colman
Krause
Hixon
Park
You quoted — “His body fell on top of fellow graduate student Guillermo Colman.”
I would say that Coleman would be the first one to ask. If we can’t get confirmation from him, then this would indicate that it’s false... (absent any of those others confirming and giving the story).
