She did not know any of their names. • She did say that on the day of the shooting, she saw two females who she thought were associated with the trench coat students sitting under the stairs by the commons. She said one Waa a Meliasa Sowder who is in her 4th hour acience class. She saw a second girl under the stairs in the same area aa Melisaa SOWder but ahe did not know if that girl was friends with Melissa. She thought the name of the second girl was Stephanie, but after looking at the yearbook, she identified this girl as Courtney VanDell. Shn did net know what Melissa Sowder was wearing w h e ~ she saw her but said that Courtney VanDell usually wears all black. -- She d.id not see any trench coat student or. other associate at school the day of the shooting. She has heard of the name "Trench Coat Mafia," but thought they were just another school group. * She saw no obj eeta out of pla"" the day of the sbooting. When asked spe"ifically, ahe did not see any duffle bags. * She cou.l.d not rememher what she was wearing the day of the shooting. • On the day of the shooting, she got out of her 4th bour science "lass at 11,10 a.m. She said that the Melissa Sowder was in that class. When she got out, she walked west along the interior sden"e area hallway with Ieaiah Shoels who was also in that clasa. As they got to the stairs, Isaiah headed to the library like she knew he usually did for lunch time. She went down the stairs and to a group of tables in the southwest area of the cafeteria. She said ahe said "Hi" to a few people and then went to her table. • Looking at the diagram, she thought she was at table N, 0, Or Z. lJpon checking the baclq;>ack list, she agreed that she was at table 0 with sOllIe of her friends. She Bat at c'hat table with JC-001· 004418 Candace Haywood, Lacey Hobn, Brittany Weeden, and Candyce Therrien. She did not know Candyce Therrien by name that day, but looked her picture up in the yearbook to find out her name. • She did not get up to go to the lunch line as she has, Sth hour off. She usually gets her lunch between the A and .B lunches when the line" are smaller. • The first thing she noticed shortly into the lunch period were teachers running east along the lunch lines yelling for everyone to get d""", and under the tables. She saw two janitors along the south -doors yelling the same thing. She thought it was a senior prank. She did get down under the table. She did not have a backpack with her but had a school binder on the table with her name on it. i; She was under the table for a minute or two and did not hear anything. She said that people in the patio began running into the cafeteria from the south doors and tbat everyone in t r . . e ~ cafeteria began running up the stairs or down the foreign language hall. She did not know what was going on, but ran up the stairs with the others. • Dnce at the top of the stairs, she turned left and encountered teachers telling everyone to slow down.
