The account of the incident in the link below paints a pretty bad picture. I am sure the young man's mom is glad he ran and is alive but I bet he is beating himself up pretty bad. Most likely a miserable life playing "what if" in his mind. We would hope we and our kids wouldn't have ran away but the freeze/flight/fight is hard to overcome in a crisis.

“Grimble said that Johnson grinned at him and continued toward him, so Grimble ran from the gym and toward the east entry doors,” the report states.

On his way out of the building, Grimble shouts to employees at the checkout desk, “You need to call someone. He has a knife!”

By this time, McKane, Woodard and Richardson are descending the walkway out of the east-side Lambright doors.

In her interview with the Leader published last week, McKane said her first sign that something was wrong was when Grimble sprinted past her and hurriedly drove out of the parking lot, though she didn’t know his name.

All this has taken place in less than seven minutes since Johnson entered the Lambright.

Now he exits the eastside doors and down the walkway after Grimble. He encounters Woodard and Richardson and attacks them, stabbing Woodard in the right side of her neck and stabbing and cutting Richardson’s neck and throat multiple times.

McKane hears the women’s screams from the end of the walkway and confronts Johnson, shouting at him to stop. He turns on her. They end up on the ground in the parking lot as Johnson stabs McKane multiple times.

McKane escapes and tries to get to the Lambright doors, but Johnson pulls on her shirt, eventually catching her and attacking with the knife again.
