He spoke to The New York Times about what he witnessed as he went searching for his two daughters.<\/h4>\n<p class=\"css-8hvvyd\">My heart just, like, dropped, and I felt sick. I entered right after the police did. I think it was very chaotic. \u201cLooks like you guys are on a team.\u201d \u201cCool.\u201d The doors opened, and kids started coming out. A lot of the first ones were injured. A lot of them were cut with glass. I was looking for my girls. That was just my priority. I just wanted to find them and get them safe. \u201cOne, two.\u201d Found olive quickly, and I couldn\u2019t find June. \u201cWhat was that moment when you saw June?\u201d It was just like the most palpable relief. \u201cIt\u2019s so sad.\u201d It\u2019s hard to feel such relief when we know families that are in so much pain right now. Those moments come back to me. It\u2019s just like this haunting, visceral, visceral feeling. \u201cOne two. Three four. Bombed. Ready, Oli?\u201d Today I\u2019m feeling pretty good. Yeah, better than yesterday. Way better. I am doing some new sports. I\u2019m going to start volleyball. I\u2019m pretty excited for school to start back up, but also nervous. Hope what happened does not happen again. \u201cWe represent the families of Annunciation, and tonight we are here as parents.\u201d I have a lot of anger towards this pattern. I helped bloodied first graders. \u201cWhen you have more guns than people in America, you got a problem.\u201d \u201cYeah.\u201d \u201cYeah.\u201d It hits so close to home. And I\u2019m just so angry that it continues.<\/p>\n<p>Recent episodes in <span class=\"css-1galvr2\">U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Show more videos from U.S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>new video loaded: A Father Took His Daughters to School.
