"They are in the middle of finals, so they were all on campus studying the first text I get from my son is mom, there's a live shooting on campus. I'm going to run and I love you,' Amersi said. She said they had only been texting, and that she had told her son to make sure his phone was not making any noise."
"Amersi said he had barricaded himself inside a supply closet with 12 other students. They've turned off the lights, they've put chairs on their door, Amersi said. One of his classmates is having a panic attack, so the friends are trying to keep her quiet so no sounds are being made. She added, This is just a nightmare as a parent."

Local police said the suspect is a male and was wearing all black, but no other details were shared. Smiley declined to share any details on the victims when asked by a reporter.
