He experienced absolute horror 23-year-old Voliotissa, on the campus in East Lansing, United States of America, where he studies. Where yesterday morning (Greece time) three people lost their lives and five others were injured, when an armed man entered the building and opened fire.

Voliotissa Elena Agioti, a rowing athlete, in a state of shock, described how she, as well as her fellow students, managed to be saved from the maniacal offender who opened fire and then, according to police sources, killed himself.

The 23-year-old athlete closed the shutters, the doors and locked herself in terror in the bathroom, waiting for the shooting to stop. What happened, however, in those moments is real nightmare: “At 8:15 in the evening, I had just come home from training and a girl – a fellow athlete, was in a building of the University, and she heard shots. He immediately informed us that he heard shootings and ran out of that building. At first we thought it was nothing important, but we received an email from the University that there were shots fired and that we should stay indoors. My roommates and I were locked inside the house, while we heard gunshots. The shooting started in a building inside the Campus”

Continuing, the Greek athlete notes that what they initially learned was that a 43-year-old man entered the classrooms with a gun during classes and started shooting. The children panicked and started running out of the classrooms and then trying to find the perpetrator. The attacker then went to another building and entered the common area, where there are cafeterias and quiet rooms for students to study, and there he also started shooting.

“In all he killed three, two in the first building and one in the second, and wounded five, mostly in the chest. We had received an email with which we could hear in various buildings near us what was happening and the communication that the police had. Communication was very confused, because the shots could be heard in various buildings very close to us.

We had panicked, closed the shutters on the house and the windows. We entered the bathroom and sat there. They said that there is not only one perpetrator, but that there are many armed men roaming the plain. This took about four hours and at 12:30 they informed us that they found the perpetrator in the lancing area, about ten minutes away from us.

I don’t know if he killed himself or if he was killed. Now they are trying to reveal the identity of the victims. As for the action, we learned that he had a lot Psychological problems and how his mother had died two years ago. He had gone to jail earlier. Until Wednesday the whole University will remain closed and we are out. Until Monday there will be no classes at all, but in general there is a chaos”, the athlete concluded.
