David Phenix was the first victim of the tragic Apalachee High School shooting, which resulted in four confirmed deaths and thirty injuries
It has been established that the first victim of the horrifying shooting at Apalachee High School was the math instructor for special education students.
Despite suffering a broken hip bone from gunshot wounds to his foot and hip, David Phenix was rushed to the hospital and managed to survive.
After the horrifying assault on the Georgia high school, there are believed to be up to thirty injured people and at least four fatalities.
Police have not yet released any information about the shooter to the public, and they have issued a warning that it might take “days” to find out the accused’s age, gender, or connection to the school.
Katie, Phenix’s daughter, revealed on Wednesday that her father was brought straight to surgery after he “arrived to the hospital alert and conscious.”
She said, “He just got over surgery and is stable.”
As we find out more, we’ll let you know. Even though we are very blessed, please keep the AHS family and our family in your prayers.
Phenix has been a teacher for 22 years. Despite his initial plans to retire in 2023, Apalachee made an approach to hire him as a golf teacher.
“He received an invitation to take over as golf coach at Appalachee High School the day after he made his decision official. His wife said, “The timing couldn’t have been better.”
“He was merely “retired” for a total of three days!”I’m actually happy that our retirement trip plans will have to wait since I’ve always loved seeing you interact with the kids and have an impact.
The details were made public after CNN revealed that four people were shot and killed on Wednesday morning.
A suspect is in police custody, but no more details have been made public.
Melanie, an Apalachee High School student, stated that in her classroom, a red flashing light and an alert signifying a “code red” started to go out.
She told reporters in her community that she felt the drills were real and serious because the light never turned on.
The moment their instructor switched out the lights in the classroom, her students cowered down into the corner.
Melanie claimed to have cell service, even though many of her friends didn’t, so she called her own family before letting her friends use her phone to message their parents.
After entering Camille Nelms’ classroom, the gunman left, the 14-year-old informed WXIA.
“I couldn’t stop crying.” “I didn’t want to die that way,” she said.”I’m going to get you,” the student’s mother texted her.
Upon arriving to the school, her mother reported that everything was in a state of “chaos,” with a “giant” line of parents anxious to see their children again. When she heard Melanie’s voice, she hugged her and thanked God that she was still alive.
Ethan, Erin Clark’s son, texted her on Wednesday at 10:23 a.m. to let her know that a school shooting was happening.
He wrote, “School shooting rn (right now)”. It scares me. This is not a fabrication.
His mother immediately informed him that she would be leaving her job in response. With a heartbreaking note that stated, “I love you,” Ethan replied.
“Baby, you have my love too.” How are things going for you? said Clark.
“There’s a dead person,” Ethan said, adding that he was in class.
