Amish Grace Page #4

- What is it?

- Whoa!

- Has something happened?

- I don't know.

Levi came to get Isaac. He says

there are police cars at the school.

They told me to stay put,

but I'm doing no such thing. Step up!

(Ringing)

- (Beeps)

- Hello?

Hey, Charlie. I just got Maddy to sleep.

I hope you didn't wake her up.

What?

What are you talking about?

Are you... Are you okay...

- (Line Clicks)

- Charlie?

- (Beeps)

- (Handset Settles In Cradle)

(Siren wailing)

(Siren Continues)

- Katie!

- Mama!

- Katie!

- Whoa.

(Crying)

There's a bad man in school, Mama.

Oh. But you got away.

Oh, thank Jesus, you got away.

Emma and I ran out the side door,

just like Teacher Ruth.

And I thought Mary Beth would run too.

I thought she would run.

Mary Beth is still

in the school with the man?

- Yes.

- Sarah and Rebecca too?

He said he wouldn't hurt us

if we did what he said.

But I ran.

I'm sorry, Mama. I'm so sorry.

What should we do?

We should pray.

(Police Radio Chatter)

- There you go.

- I thought I looked tired.

- Ah, man, I'm allergic to Mondays.

- (Chuckles)

- I just brewed a fresh pot of coffee if you want to go grab some.

- Good.

- Oh, Jill, look alive.

- I need you two on the road now.

School shooting,

West Nickel Mines. Amish school.

Amish? That doesn't make any sense.

The Amish don't have guns.

The shooter wasn't Amish.

He, uh, shot a bunch of young girls.

Call us if you get any other details.

(Siren wailing)

(Helicopter Whirring Overhead)

- Hey, Bill.

- Derek.

(Chattering)

But my son... he got out, so...

I don't know anything about

the rest of the children.

- (Chattering)

- (Police Radio Chatter)

Come, boys.

We'll ask Dat. He may know.

Ida. Have they told you anything?

Just that we have to stay here.

And that one girl has passed for certain.

- Who?

- They don't know who because all the girls are dressed alike.

They asked us for a photo of Mary Beth.

I told them we didn't have one...

on account of God doesn't

like us to be in pictures.

I can't leave Katie.

I'll go.

(Amy)

Yes. Is this the Sheriff's Office?

Well, I've been trying to get ahold

of someone who can help me.

I... I just got a very disturbing

phone call from my husband.

Scared the heck out of me. I...

I don't know. I don't know

if he's gonna hurt himself or, uh...

Yes, I will hold.

Dad. Thank God you're here.

You have to watch Maddy.

I have to go find Charlie. He just...

There's something you need to see.

(Man) Although no official statement

has been released, what we do know...

is a lone gunman apparently entered

this one-room Amish school.

He allowed the boys to leave,

but kept the girls inside with him.

- God.

- The first trooper arrived on scene...
