Students

Studying,

Scribing sentences,

Shuffling sheets

Sighing sleepily

Shrill shots sound

Shattered silence

Studying stops

Shaking sureness

Staff speaks seriously stern

Seek shelter

Schoolchildren simulate

Sheep

Scurrying, scrambling

Seeking secure spots

Several shrink - shrivel

Shrouded shadows

Someone silently sobs

Shooter stands stiff

Stays still

Stares

Shifts shotgun

Semiautomatic

Solitary sniper steps stealthily

Shamelessly

Scarlet

Seeps, smears,

Streaks, splatters

Sticky stains shimmer senselessly

Somewhere somebody shouts

Screams

Sharp shooters

Shields

Standoff

Shocked, somber silence

Statistics swell

Scared schoolchildren

Suffer

Squeeze safety

Stolen simplicity

Stillborn security

Silent senators
