BARROW COUNTY, Ga. — A teacher who survived the Apalachee High School shooting posted a public letter on Facebook. David Phenix’s family said he returned from the hospital Friday. On Sunday night, he wrote to his Facebook followers. “Physically, there are stitches, staples, and bandages to be removed and physical therapy to be endured.

I was incredibly blessed that the bullet that went into my side and the one that entered my foot managed to miss every vital ligament, tendon, bone, and organ,” said Phenix.
