“My heart goes out to all of us who witnessed the active shooter at Six Flags Great America,” one survivor wrote on Facebook. “I hid my 2 older kids and my nephew in a employee office with a door that locked and went to find my husband and youngest to bring them to an the office I found. My husband fled with the baby . I don’t wish this kind of emotional scare on anyone. I thought I lost my daughter . We made it out safe . Thank you Jesus . Never have I felt this way. NEVER. I’m done with six flags.”
