...recalls poking up his head. "No one was standing or shouting," he says. So Santos stood up, grabbed his girlfriend, and stood against the wall. The couple, both rail-thin, moved in the roughly 10-inch gap between the wall and row of seats. Some students tried dialing their cell phones, with no luck; cell phone service in the lecture hall was usually spotty, anyways. Blood was everywhere...
