What a former Gamecock in South Florida saw on day of school shooting | The State

Former South Carolina tight end Hayden Hurst is in South Florida training for the NFL Combine, and that has meant being right next to the biggest news story in the nation – the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

The school sits about 15 miles from Davie, Fla., where Hurst has been working out six days a week since leaving USC. On the day of the shooting, he and former Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen were driving home when police heading toward the incident raced past them.

“We were driving on 575 and like three cops came ripping up the left lane,” Hurst said.
