When the gunfire stopped for '30 seconds to a minute,' Dominik Molotky said he and his classmates started breaking open a window so they could escape.
EAST LANSING, Mich. --"I was sitting next to the nearest door and thank god that my fight-or-flight response kicked in because, right when that first gunshot went off, I booked it to the far corner of the class," Molotky, a senior, told ABC News in an interview Tuesday on "Good Morning America."
"There was glass everywhere," he added. "We broke open the window and climbed out of there, and I booked it back to my apartment." "We wanted to protect ourselves and make sure that there was no glass, no way that you could see into the room," he added. "We dimmed the lights."
