    Fort Hood shooting

    Answer your cellphone--I hear gunshots!

     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     aprilmae told me that people at Fort Hood 'don't feel safe.'
    - hhanks, CNN iReport producer

    Hello My name is April Webb and I was at Barnes and Nobels when I heard about the incident on Ft.Hood.  I just remember my friend Quenette telling me that she was going to a graduation on post.  I remember she called me around 1:15-1:30ish and I disregard the call because I was in the middle of a research paper with Kelly my classmate.  I think the hardest part about this whole incident was that you just don't know when people are going to snap.  I went home around 1:45pm and my husband SFC Webb told me that he was trying to reach me and he was yelling at me because he couldn't get a hold of me because he thought I was on post.  In that moment, I didn't know why he was yelling at me and he told me about someone shooting I thought of that phone call from Quenette.

    Quenette was fine but she was locked inside the graduation.  So now I was stuck at home with her kids and my kids worried.  We didn't know what was going to happen so we prayed.

    I was even worried because Quenette's husband Major Satterwhite was in Iraq and I had her kids and they asked me, "Where's my mom," I lied, I told them that she had to do a Mary Kay facial.

    I was thinking --God bring her home.

    I thank God he did
