‘Next thing I know he is pulling a gun’: Colorado student on school shooting that killed 1, injured 8

NBC News

A senior at the Colorado school where two fellow students opened fire Tuesday, killing one and injuring eight, recalled the moment one of the shooters, a male classmate, pulled out a gun in her English class.

Nui Giasolli, a student at STEM School Highlands Ranch, a K-12 school in a Denver suburb, was in her British literature course when the shooting occurred. 

The boy came to class late, Nui told the “Today” show on Wednesday. “The next thing I know he is pulling a gun and is telling nobody to move.”

“That’s when Kendrick lunged at him, and he shot Kendrick,” Nui said, “giving all of us enough time to get underneath our desks, to get ourselves safe, and to run across the room to escape.”

Student Kendrick Castillo, 18, died in the shooting. Two suspects, both students, are in custody, of whom one has been identified by police as Devon Erickson, 18. Nui said Devon was the shooter in her class.

Other students in addition to Kendrick tackled the shooter, Nui said, which she said saved her and fellow classmates’ lives.

They “were brave enough to bring him down so that all of us could escape and all of us could be reunited with our families.”

“I can’t thank them enough,” she said.

Among those who rushed the shooter were Brendan Bialy, a senior who plans to become a Marine after graduation, his father told NBC News.
