“I’m pretty sure I heard shots in Union Station,” Mr Wallace said, describing at least two gunshots before running away from the shooting.

The sophomore said he ran and tripped on the sidewalk, scrapping his face while escaping the scene.

“I had no idea if my friends were ok,” Mr Wallace said. “It’s terrible.”
