And all they could do in that moment was lay still. While under the table, Jonathan looked out and saw a female soldier he had just spoken to. It was 21-year-old Francesca Vallez. Francesca had actually taken a seat next to Mick and Jonathan at the SRP Center. And during their brief conversation, She told them that she was pregnant.

Sadly, when the shots rang out that afternoon, Francesca had been shot. And while bleeding out on the ground, curled up in a fetal position, Jonathan and Mick heard her scream out, my baby. "'My baby.'" Eventually, Jonathan and Mick would make it out alive, but not Francesca.

Horrifically, upon hearing her screams, the gunman casually walked over to her as she begged for her life and the life of her unborn child, but he had no remorse. The shooter then aimed his weapon at her and fired multiple times into Francesca's body. One of the last things that Jonathan and Mick saw before running to safety was Francesca's eyes rolling into the back of her head.

Around the SRP center, soldiers were under desks. Others were tucked in the small alcoves. When they were able to find a spot where the gunmen couldn't see them, many ripped up their clothing and began making tourniquets for the wounded. Some were performing CPR. And during it all, the gunmen continued shooting people around the room. But interestingly, he was only shooting at soldiers.

In the SRP center, there were a mix of soldiers and regular civilians, but he was only killing people in uniform. When the shots rang out that day, a group of five civilians took cover under a nearby table. And eventually, they heard the sounds of gunfire getting closer. They all began praying for their lives.

to their horror they soon saw the gunmen walking towards them their bodies tensed up preparing themselves for what was to come the next thing they knew they saw the shooter crouch down and look right at them the laser of his gun swept across their faces But surprisingly, instead of killing them, he stood up and walked away. You see, for the gunman, this attack was personal.

The message he was trying to get across was that US soldiers were the enemy, so he spared the civilians lives. Well, most of them. The one civilian to die in the Fort Hood massacre was 62-year-old Dr. Michael Cahill. When the shots rang out that day, he decided he was going to try and take down the gunman.

His daughter would later say that her dad always talked to her about what to do in a mass shooting. With the prevalence of them these days, he wanted to make sure she was prepared. But something he mentioned to her was that if he were to ever be in one, he would charge at the shooter. And on this day, that's exactly what he would do.
