Alexus Owens, 10-year-old: “And, like, as the days went by, I was just thinking, ‘What if it happens to my house?’”

Queetesa House: “And I think the devil was seeing they was going to blow up. And God was just holding his hands over the people to make sure they safe.”

Tinesha Holcmob: “God was in my heart and I was thanking him because it could have happened anywhere. It could happen where I was.”

Denise Jones: “It was a lot of innocent people that got killed.”
