[...] Hurd: I was scared—not just for my colleagues, but for all the staff who were locked down in that building. There’s going to be long-term repercussions. All of that happened because lies had been perpetuated for a long time. We need to step back and say, "Why did that happen? And how can you prevent something like that from happening in the future?"These are all hard questions, and I wish I had the answers to them.
