Terry Pettit experienced every parent’s worst nightmare when he received a chilling text from his daughter on December 2.
Pettit’s daughter, who was not named, texted him to alert him that she and some co-workers were being attacked by gunmen.
The mass shooting took place at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, a nonprofit that works with individuals with developmental disabilities.
“Shooting at my work. People shot. In the office waiting for cops. Pray for us. I am locked in an office,” she wrote, Pettit told KABC.
Pettit struggled not to break down as he recounted the text.
