Jon Ferrer was working late Monday evening, reviewing tax returns and trying to get a head start on the week. The KPMG senior tax associate said he heard a faint alarm when he was in the bathroom, but thought nothing of it.
Then an associate walked over to his desk and gave him the horrifying news: There was an active shooter in their office building. “My heart sank to my stomach,” Ferrer said.
He was ushered into a partner’s office with about 15 co-workers, as colleagues pushed a desk across the door and put blankets up on windows in the room. They sat together in a circle.
