Speaking to ABC7 later in the morning after she had been reunited with both of her daughters, Wright said she had been "very much on edge" throughout the morning. She said her daughters' teachers "kept them safe in a secluded room" and "did what they needed to do to stay safe."
"I'm very, very happy and grateful for all the school staff that kept our students safe," Wright added.
