A professor whose class was the site of the deadly school shooting at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte is giving his account of"what actually went down inside the room."

He said the shooting took place in the early evening of April 30, when one group was showing a video about static versus dynamic universe. "I make it to the door, out the door and hold it open for the rushing students. One student falls down in the door way and is stepped on, I pick them up and move them back with the flow of traffic," he wrote."The students are scattering and running for their lives, in all directions," he said.

"My emotions are currently high and I am absolutely heartbroken. My students are incredibly special to me and I try to make that known throughout the semester,” he wrote. He did explain that the shooter had previously been enrolled in the class and while he was “engaged” early in the semester, the shooter stopped coming to class and Johnson was told that he withdrew.
