On Friday, 17-year-old Heidi Allen testified in a Michigan court hearing to determine the sentence of 17-year-old Ethan Crumbley, who is accused of killing four students and wounding seven others in a school shooting in 2021. During her testimony, Allen recalled how she helped save a girl who was severely wounded during the shooting.
Allen said that she felt compelled to help the injured girl, and moved her to an empty classroom, applied pressure to stop the bleeding, and prayed with her. She described how she felt at the time, saying, “I think I’m supposed to be here right now. Because there’s no other reason that I’m OK, that I’m in this hallway, completely untouched.”
The court hearing will determine whether Crumbley will receive a life sentence or a shorter term with an opportunity for parole. The judge will consider Allen’s testimony, as well as the testimonies of other witnesses, before making a decision.

The judge’s decision will determine the fate of Crumbley, and the outcome of the hearing will be closely watched by the community.
