Survivors of the Sutherland Springs mass shooting are sharing their stories as they continue on their paths to healing.
“I watched the barrel of the gun fire into my son, directly into my son’s back…as I grab his hand…I take a bullet towards the chest,” Workman said.First Baptist Church of Sutherland SpringsShe described the bell-ringing ceremony as a sacred moment to remember the “joyous” memories she shared with the men, women and children killed during a mass shooting in the sanctuary of First Baptist Church on Nov. 5, 2017.
David Colbath, another survivor who was in the building with Workman at the time of the shooting, said the community and church is still going through the healing process. However, it has not deterred them from serving in and on behalf of the church. “Do we just say, ‘Oh, well, they died and don’t worry about it?’ Or do we honor them and honor them in God’s word and continue to do God’s work? That’s what I want to do. That’s what my fellow survivors that are still here, it looks like that’s what they want to do,” Colbath explained.“When we see that somebody is hurting, when we see that something’s not right, that we speak up and we work to do something about it.”Allysa Cole is a news reporter at KSAT 12.
