Friends of Richard Aspinwall, one of the two teachers killed in the shooting at Georgia’s Apalachee High School, gave emotional interviews Thursday describing the math teacher and football coach’s character.
Nick Bach, who had known Aspinwall for more than a decade and who coached football with him, described to CNN’s Erin Burnett what he was thinking after he reached out to check in on his friend via text on Wednesday morning.
“Honestly, at that moment, I thought the odds had to be super low. It can’t possibly be him. There are probably 2000 kids, a thousand other people walking around that building, you know. We’re down to one-in-3,000, but that’s still crazy odds. There’s no way,” he said.
