Elise Thompson said she was getting her hair done, and the stylist turned on the news about the mass shooting.

"I kept banging on the door and then ran out and up onto the porch ... my head's on a swivel because all this stuff is going on and then I walked into my master bedroom where, as everybody knows, I found his (James') body on the bathroom floor," said Thompson. "I remember running and screaming."

Thompson said her world has been shattered and that there were no signs.

She said during a victim impact statement, "I lost both of you in one afternoon. The last thing I want to say is to the families of the victims - Susan, Mary, Nicole, Gabriel, and to the survivors, Lynn and Casey -- I know your lives have changed permanently, and I am and will forever be sorry for the pain that this has caused you."

Court is now in recess until Thursday at 9:30 a.m.

Austin Thompson's mother gave emotional testimony, speaking about her sons and family life and how the world changed on that fateful day. More to come.

Casey Clark was once a member of the SWAT team.

On Wednesday, he testified that he had already worked a full shift earlier that day but then went to the scene when he learned there was an active shooter.

"I heard a gunshot, and I felt what felt like a train going through my knee. drops me to the ground," he testified.

Clark was shot in the leg.

"That was hard. The, was my entire life goal. was to become was to be on the SWAT team. That was my dream," Clark testified. "My wife specifically has a lot of trauma from this. She's constantly, instead of the happy-go-lucky woman that I married, where she was able to walk down the street -- not stressed -- now she evaluates everyone as a threat."

Clark said the bullet is still lodged in his knee, and his leg will often give out.

He is no longer able to work in law enforcement and is now a Realtor in Michigan.

A couple of the victims' loved ones are back in the courtroom today after testifying yesterday.
