EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State University student Dominik Molotky was in class on Monday evening when he heard a gunshot in the hallway, just outside the door.
"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 onA couple seconds later, the gunman entered the classroom and fired"three to four more rounds," Molotky said.
Molotky and other students recounted their horrifying experiences as the mass shooting unfolded at multiple locations on MSU's main campus in East Lansing, Michigan. At least three people were killed and five others were wounded, police said. The suspect -- identified as a 43-year-old man with no known ties to the university -- was later found dead from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to police.
"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." "I didn't think that it would happen to me. But living in America, you know, you always have to live under the assumption that this will happen to you. It happens to people every day in this country, and we have to consider why," he said."It's not unique, but it's a lot different when it happens to you."
