Student calls teacher hero for protecting students
Saugus High School choir teacher Kaitlin Holt and her students were listening to a group recording when several students burst into the classroom, saying they heard gunshots.
She immediately locked and barricaded the door with a piano, while ushering the more than three dozen students into a nearby office. One student alerted police about the wounded girl, while another guarded the door with a fire extinguisher.Eddie Mendoza, a senior at the school, said the students and their teacher sat in silence until the wounded girl said, “Excuse me, I think I’ve been shot.”After Holt examined the girl, who had been shot twice, she left the office to get the first aid kit, which was in the classroom, Mendoza said.
