On that fateful day, Suzy said that she and her classmates were seated together in a mathematics class when one of her classmates flaunted a gun.

According to Suzy, the teacher did not see the weapon and the class exited for break time.

"When it was break time, one boy in my class asked me for my phone. He wanted to check something online but I did not have airtime so he returned the phone to me. After giving the phone to me, I place my head on the table.

"During that period, I heard my classmates arguing about the gun. One said the gun was real and capable of firing, the other said it wasn't. The one who brought the gun, in an attempt to prove his point, mistakenly pulled the trigger."

According to Suzy, she coincidentally raised her head and was shot in the face.
