Secrets in the mist. But first, two other moms face the unthinkable. It was just chaos. Lots of screaming. Lots of gun fire. Any bullet to pass through me first before it gets to these children. I just laid on them and prayed and just prayed and prayed and prayed. Inside the mall attack that stunned the world. Through the eyes of two moms and their kids. I just kept telling them to be quiet like a mouse. Asked him not to cry. This is it. For one of the moms, even more terror. Her two boys on their own somewhere else in the mall. She said she wanted her brothers and i told her we would see them later. When things seemed hopeless, two heroes would appear. I told the lady, now. A little girl would show us all the meaning of courage. When porsche got up and ran, did you have a moment you thought, oh my god . Im lester holt and this is dateline. Heres kate snow with nowhere to hide. Its the modernday town square. A Gathering Place that fulfills our every need, shopping, eating, socializing.

Gunshots, explosions, armed men taking over every floor, methodically shooting anyone in their way. That was the unbelievably brutal scene that played out in front of a shocked world on september 21st. Just after t
especially for two boys, separated from their mother. this is blaise walton. it was difficult for him to recount the story of what happened to him and his brother. but he wanted to tell it starting from the beginning. the two brothers had just paid and we re still standing at the checkout line when they saw something strange. and was the first thing you hear that s weird? everybody looks to the main entrance. and we all looked as well. then a loud sound happens and three people go flying and that s when people realize what is going on. and they run. three people flying into the air? they just fell backwards. it was scary. did you think it was a bomb or something? i thought it was a bomb at first. but then when i heard the two gunfire sounds, i knew it was in just a bomb.
