Video: Boy recounts How he was saved from JC shooting

Translated by Goldie Hirsch - Yiddish English Translator
He went to pick up chocolates from the menahel's office on the other block to bring back to all the boys as a treat because they were learning b'retzifus. As he arrived to the door, he was about to punch in the combination when he heard a shot. He thought that he has time to quickly enter the number and let himself in. When he noticed the normally lethargic bystanders start running he turned around and saw a man with a long gun shooting repeatedly into the grocery. "I have to get out of here!" He thought, and made a run for it. He ran back where he came from and met up with Mr. Lax, the other baal haness, and he took him home with him. This caused a bit of confusion, because the cheder staff couldn't locate him (I believe Mr. Lax called the boy's father, but I guess he didn't call the cheder right away) He could hear the shootout from there and spent five hours holed up in their house.
