KSL building manager Brent Wightman was one of the two people shot by a woman with a gun Thursday afternoon. Following is a complete interview with him, as he describes what happened.

I was exiting the newsroom area, and walked into the main reception area. Colleen (main receptionist) and I were discussing something.. for the life of me I can't remember what.

I walked toward the main entrance and this person walked by me and had a shawl wrapped around her. It looked a little suspicious. So I stood-- I'm a little security minded from the old days-- so I stood back and she was talking to Colleen.

I heard Colleen say, 'You want to go to the reception area of news?' and she says, 'you can't go in there.' The lady stepped back from the reception desk and reached and brought out a gun and pointed it right at Colleen, and told her, 'I want to go to the newsroom.' They were four letter comments.

She (gunwoman) became more agitated. She turned and saw people on the second floor atrium looking out. And Colleen-- Colleen Mirci-- was really cool. She asked her, 'What can we do to help you?' And I asked her if she wanted to sit down and talk about it. She said, 'I don't want to sit down.'

I hollered up to people to call 911. I had my hands in the air. So I was no hero, I was scared. But I was worried about Colleen. She asked where the newsroom was, and Colleen pointed towards the engineering area. I pointed towards the west exit doors that go outside, because if she walked out there, she couldn't get back in.

She was spinning around in a circle and was incoherent and talking to the air. Somebody came out of the north entrance, and hollered to get back. Then somebody came out of the news reception area and she backed out. She (gunwoman)walked over and shot the carpet.

I wasn't doing a lot of talking then, nobody was. She walked towards the reception area again, about ten feet away, and she was wheeling her gun, and I knew she was going to shoot me-- I don't know why.

I turned and she nicked me on my right side twice. The bullet never did enter my skin-- it's like two scratches. I hugged the floor. She apparently was agitated and walked over to me. And the only time she ever touched me, she kicked me. She kicked me in the chest, and yelled 'f this and f that.'

She ran over to the door to the news reception area, and put four or five bullets through the window. I was looking, and she reached in (through the shot-out glass) and opened the doors (to t.v. news reception area). There are two more locked card-reader doors and she was kicking them.

I got up and took off. There were people that were peeking out the door. I said, 'Let's get our behinds out of here.' And we ran out the northwest doors.

I wasn't hurt-- it really didn't hurt. Somebody-- an employee-- walked me over to North Temple and then a police officer-- Michelle-- took care of me from there.

It's really good that Colleen wasn't hurt. She was in my prayers. I was really worried about (the gunwoman) getting in to either side (off the main reception area). I pray that the lady that got shot on the fourth floor will be alright. That's really, really sad.

When I got out, I was trying to tell everybody I was okay. But when I ran out, I looked at the reception area. Colleen was really on my mind and I couldn't see her. I got outside and I thought about-- her and I had talked about if something happens, to hit the floor, and get under the reception desk. That's apparently what she did. That lady's past retirement, and she handled herself beautifully.

It's almost surreal. I don't know the timing element.It seemed like 15 minutes. It was probably really five or six minutes.
