Video footage taken at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, after Wednesday’s mass shooting shows a sense of calm amid the chaos.

Sophomore Alexsandra Romero, 15, was sitting in a classroom with classmates when she saw footage of police officers entering the room and directing them out through a hallway.

“Single file line down this gang right here after this deputy,” an officer can be heard saying. “Hurry up, come on, let’s go. We got to evacuate a whole school, people, come on now.”

Romero told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution she believed it was a training exercise.

“I remember my hands were shaking,” Romero said. “I felt bad because everyone was crying, everyone was trying to find their brothers and sisters.”

Another video, taken by the teenager as she left the school, shows a body covered in a sheet, surrounded by blood, and firearms lying on the floor.
