Video: Witness: ?It was terrifying? inside theater

>> when we arrived on the scene this afternoon we immediately had a conversation with one of the witnesses. she is 24 years old. her name is jennifer seeger. she came to the movies last night with her best friend . they arrived a little late and the only seats available as is often the case were down front. she found herself in the second row. here is some of our conversation with her. like so many people you showed up for the premiere showing and what do you remember from the usual piling in, getting to your seat, getting settled? anything?

>> well, pretty typical. i came in a little later you know because originally the ticket was supposed to be given to someone else but i came in last minute taking the place of somebody else. the only seats available were the front seats. it was packed. you know, i expected it to be. it was the midnight showing of the latest batman movie. pretty good as far as that goes.

>> we americans don't make a whole lot of eye contact when we're getting settled. we're about our business so no one can blame you if you don't remember the specific faces.

>> you know, as far as the gunner, yeah. no, i mean he had a gas mask on. he was covered from head to toe . there is no way that you could tell what race he was or, you know, as far as that goes, but he's about i'd say six feet, 6'3", and about 185, 200 pounds, you know. that's all you could really tell. he came in through an access exit on my right-hand side. i was literally in the second row of seats, you know. he let off the gas. it was in a green can. he took the tab and threw it and it exploded in the crowd. at that point it was just mass chaos. he shot his first shot into the ceiling and everybody is like oh, my god it's a gun. it's not fake. it's real. get out. get out. they just started panicking. it was mass chaos. from that point he took the gun and pointed it directly at my face. he was three or four feet away from me and i honestly dpnt know what to do. i was terrified. i just knew that if i didn't do something quick in the next five seconds or so i was going to be dead so i literally dove as fast as i could to the ground and tucked myself under the seat in the aisle and told everybody else there to just lay there. don't move. stay calm.

>> when will what you've been through impact you do you think?

>> i don't know. i'm a very analytical person. i overthink everything. i know i'll probably sit there tomorrow and just be like oh, my god. you know? and just have flash backs of it and just -- i think with the support of my family and my friends that really care about me and love me, you know, the country and the people that were sympathizing for all of us that were in that, i think we'll be just fine.

>> jennifer seeger in the second row last night has no idea why she is alive today. such composure 24 hours
