"The rst 15 minutes we had no information except we heard 50 shots right outside the door," Young said. "We assumed there were one or more terrorists in the hallway and they were coming in to get us." The Conservative Caucus includes five former police officers and a high school principal trained for emergency situations. "One of the former police of cers said in a loud voice we want one man on either side of these three sets of doors and be prepared to take a hit for the team," Young said.
