02:24You're talking to me right now.

02:33Give me my shirt back.
02:34You should be honored to be with me.
02:36I just need to pass out.
02:39Shut up.
02:40You're about to pass out.
02:41Is there a lock on the door?
02:42Shut up.
02:43Hey.
02:44Shut up.
02:45Can someone get him to leave me alone?
02:48Hey, is anyone there to get him to leave me alone?
02:52Give me my shirt back.
02:54Don't worry.
03:01What did you do?
03:02I think I slipped something into my drink.
03:06I think a few things slipped quite a few places.
03:11What is this?
03:12It looks like my party.
03:13It turned out even cooler than I thought.
03:15So you slipped something into my drink.
03:16You raped me.
03:17And you got a video and you put it on the internet for half the school to see?
03:19So you slipped something into my drink, you raped me, and you got a video and you put
03:26it on the internet for half the school to see?
03:28No, I feel like you should be thanking me.
03:30I mean, I gave you easily the dopest moment of your miserable existence.
03:35You are sick and a piece of shit.
03:38I am pretty sick.
03:39I am pretty sick.
03:40You deserve absolutely nothing.
03:41Your little athletic scholarship, your little sports career.
03:45You don't need any of it.
03:46Are you upset that I'm awesome and you finally got a taste of it?
03:49Are you having some kind of existential crisis because you realize you're nothing in this
03:53world?
03:54The principal is a strong, independent woman, like myself, and she will not put up with
03:58this shit.
03:59I don't know if you've looked around on campus ever, maybe, but all of this is because of
04:04my family.
04:05So I don't think the principal-
04:07Of course you need to bring up your dad because you cannot stand on your own two feet.
04:12You can't do anything for yourself.
04:14Yeah, I do a lot for myself.
04:16You just saw it, actually.
04:19And you know what?
04:21Everybody can be replaced.
04:23So your little pouring money into this place, somebody else will do it.
04:27The world will spend perfectly fine without you or your dad.
04:31Yeah, you think so?
04:33So I'm going to talk to the police, I'm going to talk to the principal, and I am going to
04:37tell your dad.
04:38Yeah, I think you can kiss goodbye.
04:40Any semblance of a future you think you may have.
04:42Do you think you dictate my future?
04:44Yeah.
04:45You're not going to have shit other than seeing the inside of a jail cell.
04:48And that is on you, and that is what you deserve, because you're not going to do that to another
04:52girl.
04:53Yeah, I saw the inside of you, and it was fine with me.
04:55Go fuck yourself!
04:56You already did.
04:57Hey, I'm throwing another one next weekend, actually.
05:00You're welcome to come.
05:01Bring your friends.
05:02Oh, if you had any, that would be good.
05:06You wanted to talk to me?
05:17Yeah.
05:18Catherine, come on in and sit down.
05:19Close the door, please, honey.
05:20We need to have a chat.
05:22Sit down.
05:27What did you want to talk about?
05:29It's about the assault case that you reported.
05:32I hate to tell you this, honey, but your case is being dropped.
05:35What?
05:36There wasn't any evidence to support your claim.
05:41I had it on video.
05:43Catherine, the alleged attacker is among the richest family that we have at this school.
05:54If we go ahead and try to hold them accountable, we're going to lose all kinds of funding, and
05:58we can't do that.
06:00You're not holding my attacker accountable because he's rich?
06:04That's about it.
06:05Yeah.
06:06That's about it.
06:07Yeah.
06:08Screw you.
06:09I'm sorry.
06:11You're not holding me.
06:12I'm sorry.
06:13I'm sorry.
06:14I'm sorry.
06:15I hate that.
06:16I'm sorry.
06:17You're not holding me.
06:18I'll hold you later.
06:19I can't wait for the bus.
06:20I got up for the bus.
06:21I'll hold you later.
06:22I get up for the bus.
06:23I don't know.

07:50My mommy. Oh, no excuses.
07:54We went past two years before.
07:55I found many months and I went past two years before.
07:56I found it on the phone.

11:49Is anyone hurt?
11:53Okay, help is on the way.
11:57Attention all officers, there's a report of an active shooter occurrence at the high school.
12:01We received a report that the students and staff are still inside hiding in their classroom closets,
12:06and we received another call that the bystander is being held at gunpoint
12:10and is attempting to reason with the suspect with her kindness to de-escalate the situation.
12:19We are live outside of the high school where an active shooting is taking place.
12:24We've just been informed that a teacher inside the high school is trying to negotiate with the shooter.
12:30We will bring you updates as soon as we have more information.
12:33Edith Chu, Channel 5 News.
12:36Man, when it rains, it pours.
12:38Let's go in here and see what's happening with these kids.
12:40I hope everybody is safe.
12:42I need you.
12:49Hey, this is a crime scene, ma'am.
12:51Wait, what?
12:51I need you to get out of here.
12:53Uh, okay.
12:55Listen, just hurry up, vacate the premises, okay?
12:59Uh, so, right, okay.
13:01Cool.
13:05Why are you doing this?
13:10Where are the students?
13:13They're outside, they're safe.
13:15Who hurt you?
13:17I want to work this out.
13:20Everybody hurt me.
13:23I'm so sorry you hear that.
13:27Everybody deserves to be treated right.
13:32Let's work this out.
13:33You don't want to do something you're going to regret.
13:37I know you.
13:39You're a good person.
13:42I know everything that's happened.
13:45And I know it seems bad.
13:47But we can talk it out.
13:50You were always nice to me.
13:54Yes.
13:55Um, I love you.
13:56I love everybody here.
13:59Nobody deserves to be treated badly.
14:01Let's just work this out, okay?
14:04I don't want you to get hurt.
14:06I don't want you to do something you're going to regret and that you can't come back from.
14:11Let's talk this out.
14:12Let's talk this out, okay?
14:15Then listen.
14:17Yes.
14:18I will listen.
14:20I will listen to everything.
14:23I know you.
14:23I know you're so good.
14:29I know you deserve to be treated right, just like everybody else here.
14:35Let's talk this out.
14:36We can work this out together, okay?
14:38You are such a good person.
14:50You deserve to be treated good.
14:53Let's talk about this.
14:54Let's work it out, okay?
14:56Tell me, tell me everything.
14:58Tell me who hurt you.
15:02Put your hands where I can see them.
15:05Put your hands behind your back.
15:07Let's go.
15:20Let's go.
15:21You'll be okay.
15:28Hey, look, let me explain to you what's going on here.
15:30Just give me one moment.
15:31Ma'am, what were you trying to tell me?
15:32I was trying to tell you.
15:33The principal knew what was going on from the jump.
15:36She could have prevented this from happening.
15:38This is your fault.
15:38My daughter is in there.
15:39My daughter is in there.
15:40What's going on?
15:41Calm down.
15:42Look, everybody's been taken into custody.
15:44The building is clear.
15:45Your daughter is safe.
15:46All the students have been moved to a safe area.
15:48So just give us some time to clear the scene,
15:51and we'll get everybody reunited with their children, okay, sir?
15:54Just calm down.
15:55Just work with us.
15:55Just work with us here, okay?
15:57Thank you, ma'am, for your cooperation.
15:59We've got everything under control.
16:00If you need anyone from you, we'll give you a call, okay?
16:03We are live at the high school with an update on the school shooting incident.
16:10A teacher inside the high school was able to convince the shooter to turn herself in.
16:14The DA is considering giving the suspect community service.
16:19We have also learned that someone else has been arrested for the assault of the suspect
16:23and the high school principal prior to this event.
16:26That initial assault was never addressed and led to the unfortunate incident today.
16:30Is there anything you would like to say about all of this?
16:35As a matter of fact, there is.
16:37I'm just so thankful that we are in a much better position right now.
16:41And do you have any advice for our audience if they find themselves in this sort of situation?
16:47Yes.
16:48No matter what situation you may come across,
16:51I think that we should treat everyone with love and respect
16:55and to never turn a blind eye to a bad situation.
17:01Well said.
17:02This is a great example of how when you put kindness out to the world,
17:05it comes back to you.
17:07Thank you so much.
