In the hours after news broke that 10 people had been killed by a gunman who opened fire Friday morning at Santa Fe High School in Texas, heartbreaking firsthand accounts began trickling in. In one of them, student Damon Rabon recalled the moments he and his fellow students fled for their lives, barricading themselves in a classroom.

"There was about 30 seconds to three minutes of straight chaos," Rabon told CBS News. While some classmates panicked, Rabon and others harkened back to a recent active shooter training they had received.

"Me and a couple other students were like, 'Get in the corner, we've done this before, grab the desk, barricade the door. We were doing all that like we were taught to do."

Thanks to that training, Rabon said they knew to turn off the lights after their substitute teacher returned to the room. They could hear the suspect, later identified as 17-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis, in the hall outside.
