The year is 2000. Pale morning light slants through the bank’s tall windows, glinting off polished marble and empty teller stations. Then the doors swing open. A nineteen-year-old boy named Garrett steps inside, a rifle held low and ready. Before anyone can speak, he raises it and fires—a sharp, concussive bang. A man near the front desk collapses. Another shot, and a second victim falls. Screams erupt, a tide of panic as people stampede toward the exits. You’re frozen mid-step, the noise ringing in your ears. The shooter’s eyes scan the room, cold and focused. You have one breath, one moment: run with the crowd, or stand your ground.
