Allen would later say that in that moment, he looked up and saw a clear path to an exit, but then he remembered his training that he should never leave a soldier behind. He would later say, quote, I've been told to never leave a fallen comrade. That's what was going through my mind. I needed to get out, but I needed to get him out with me."

However, they couldn't get out just then, so instead, Allen laid there with Aaron Namalka and they played dead. Later on, when help finally arrived, Allen would be taken to the hospital where he would survive his injuries. But the same couldn't be said about his friend, Private First Class Aaron Namalka.

First Lieutenant Brandy Nicole Mason had been sitting in the waiting room when the shooting first started. When she heard the gunman scream, she thought it was a joke, but then she heard someone yell out, get down. Brandy said she immediately dropped to the floor, but when she did, she felt a wetness all over her back.

She then went to grab her cell phone from her back pocket, but when she pulled it in front of her, she saw that it was completely covered in blood. That's when she realized she had been shot. Thinking quickly, Brandy was able to crawl to a nearby table. However, it wasn't big enough to conceal her whole body. But from there, she said, quote, I peeked my head out.

And when I peeked out, he had the gun pointed at my head. And I hurried up and I put my head back in. My hip was still out and I felt burning. I couldn't straighten my leg. There was pain there. I laid there. A soldier, he was helping me." Now, luckily, Brandy would survive, but the shooting would go on for several more minutes.

The survivors who were still in the building had learned from experience not to get up and run because if they did, they would quickly be shot in the back. So all they could do was wait. Staff Sergeant Helen Kennedy had been administering a vaccine to a soldier when the shooting started.

Upon hearing the gunshots, she quickly grabbed their hand and they made a run for it towards the back of the building, but soon enough, shots started flying in their direction. She and the soldier quickly dropped to their hands and knees and began crawling. But seconds later, the body of a soldier fell right on top of her. Helen started crying.

She attempted to help them, but everyone behind her pulled her underneath a nearby table. Eventually, when the coast was clear, Helen emerged from the table to help the wounded. One in particular was 29-year-old Staff Sergeant Amy Kruger, who was barely clinging on to life. Helen would later say, quote, I was talking to her. She was still breathing. There was blood everywhere.
