Ricky Munoz, 23, says he dropped his two younger brothers and a friend off at the high school around that time.
"About a minute later, I get a call from them saying there were gunshots" and they asked to be picked up, Munoz said.

Nadine Luke told CNN her 18-year-old daughter called her, screaming, after she heard shots in the school. The teen was in her Reserve Officers' Training Corps class, and said students were putting sofas and desks in front of the classroom door and windows to barricade themselves inside, Luke said.
"All authorities are telling us right now is that they are working on the situation," Luke said. "The only thing I want right now is to have my daughter right here."

The details came amid controversy over the accuracy of the details provided by the Kaduna government.
