"I just prayed and covered my head"

Teen says she 'just prayed' while saving girl in Michigan school shooting

PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — A teenager recalled Friday how she helped save a girl who was severely wounded during a Michigan school shooting in 2021, telling a judge that she moved her to an empty classroom, applied pressure to stop the bleeding and started to pray.

"I asked her if she knew who God was. She said, 'Not really,'" the 17-year-old recalled. "I think I'm supposed to be here right now. Because there's no other reason that I'm OK, that I'm in this hallway, completely untouched."
