- The guard was injured in the exchange, and at least four other people were treated at a hospital for injuries that were not life-threatening, Losat said.

How the left told it

CNN detailed the guard’s confrontation and injuries, while The Boston Globe described deputies’ floor-by-floor searches and workers sheltering in closets; both included a father’s account of his son fleeing gunfire.
