As details continue to emerge about the deadly school shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, CNN reporters interviewed one of the survivors, 10-year-old Weston Halsne, and he detailed how his friend took a bullet for him.

"Was it behind you where it was happening, in front of you?" asked one reporter.

"It was like right beside me," said Halsne. "I was like two seats away from the stained-glass windows. So they were like, the shots were like right next to me."

"You went under the pew after that happened? Is that what everyone tried to do?" said a reporter.

"Yeah. And I think I got, like, gunpowder on my neck," he said. He added that when the shots began to fire, "I was like, the first one I was like what is that? I thought it was just something, then I heard it again, I just ran under the pew and then I covered my head. My friend Victor, like, saved me though, because he laid on top of me. But he got hit."

"Your friend laid on top of you?" said a reporter.

"Yeah. And he got hit," Halsne repeated.

"Is this something that you practiced before?" asked a reporter.

"Yeah," he said. "We, we practiced it, like, every month or I don't know, but yeah, we, we've never practiced it in the, in the church, though. Only in school. So it was way different." He went on to say the police did a good job of protecting everyone, and that it was a "super scary" experience.

"What do you want to say to your friend who helped protect you?" said a reporter.

"He's really brave. And I hope he's good in the hospital," said Halsne. Regarding everyone who had to be hospitalized, he continued, "I hope you're okay, and I'm praying for you."
