As he laid out what happened, Cone lauded the soldiers on-scene who struggled mightily to help others.

And then when he thought -- he said, 'I made the mistake of moving, and I was shot again.'

"And ... how to change the direction of the shooter, the soldiers scramble on the floor and try to help each other carry each other outside the building. And at one point clear of the shooter, many soldiers began to run, walk outside and started shooting of the building a press and some of the fleeing soldiers when they try.
