For Niu Yi, Star Ballroom Dance Studio was a joyful safe haven. Until he saw a gunman open fire on his fellow dancers. Now Yi’s “heart is no longer at peace.” Yi sat down with The Post to share what happened at the time of the shooting, and the impact of the tragic event.

When he says "It's over. I'm doomed." I can feel the helplessness like im there in the room with him.

Thank you WP for this video. It is so important to give the survivors a voice, especially immigrants who english is not their first language. Otherwise their stories may never be heard outside of their personal circles or community, or maybe even expressed.

He seems kind. I'm so sorry that this happened to him. I'm hoping he finds a way to deal with this trauma or maybe get some help. ♥️

Some serious survivor's guilt ahead, it sounds like.

My tears fall for them. May Niu Yi be protected and cared for. Something as beautiful and human as dancing is sacred and so are spaces like these that provide community and creativity.

There is no emoji for sadness. My utmost sorrows for all who died and their families. My best wishes to all who survived, you are spared for some good reason --please do not be despaired.

２：３０看著他類似３Ｄ似的環繞去描述，整個起雞皮疙瘩，這樣的記憶好清晰，聽得人都能進入情境而感到害怕，當事人一定更是害怕到不行，尤其是再等帶警察來到的時間裡，真的是度秒如年。　　不清楚是怎樣的情況導致這樣的無差別射殺！！　　到底是針對某些人而射殺？？　　還是端起槍亂射？？　　開槍者已死，已經不可考！！　這個案例真得要讓大家學到，一個團體裡真的要非常小心不要去有意無意去搞別人，因為不知道對方是不是會反擊。

Use mine in the investigation, Assumption uni installed tape in the school office and uploaded our voice chatting for fun for years without our awareness. Violation of privacy led to many times dead incidents of the teacheRs working there.
