A terrifying phone call brought a school shooting survivor's worst nightmare rushing back — nearly two decades after she experienced the horror herself. Michelle was a high school freshman when she survived a school shooting at Granite Hills High School in California in 2001. Years later, she faced an unimaginable ordeal when both her sons survived the deadly shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon. Around 1 p.m., her fifth-grade son called her on his Apple Watch with four chilling words: “Mom, there's a shooter.” As panic set in, Michelle tried to comfort her child with a message drawn from her own painful past: “Everything is going to be okay. This happened to me too, and I am okay.”
