Her latest article for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.people.com\/article\/chattanooga-shooting-wounded-marine-didnt-know-hed-been-shot\">People magazine<\/a> describes the scene inside the recruiting station when Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez began his rampage. Susan talked to 25-year-old Sergeant Demonte Cheeley, one of the recruiters on duty that day;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It was a normal, routine day,&#8221; Cheeley says. &#8220;Another Marine and I were sitting on a couch by the front window&#8221; inside the Marine Corps section of the Armed Forces Career Center.<\/p>\n<p>At 10:45 a.m., Cheeley heard a loud pop. The nearby window sprayed glass. He assumed that someone was playing with pyrotechnics left over from the Fourth of July.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I thought, someone set off a firecracker, broke our window, and now they&#8217;re in trouble,&#8221; he says. But a split second later, the Marine next to him spotted a rifle pointed directly at them. All hell broke loose inside the center. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sergeant Cheeley was the only Marine shot at the recruiting station. He says that he limped for a few days from the bullet to his leg, but that he&#8217;s fine now.
