SUMMARY: A terrifying incident unfolded at Cornerstone Prep in Frasier, where a 7-year-old student, Lola Richard, mistook gunfire for rocks hitting her classroom window. Students were instructed to gather in a corner for safety when a carjacking suspect shot at police, prompting officers to return fire, resulting in the suspect’s death just outside their classroom. Lola described her fear during the event, confused by loud noises, and thought the gunman might enter the school. The chaos started with a carjacking earlier that day.
