At that time her husband Shawn tried calling her, but the people in the room didn't want anyone to talk and make noise. "Every noise coming from the elevator or people walking, we just sat there in silence," said Carroll. "There was also a laundry shoot where we thought that if anyone tried to come (sic) shoot their way in, we could go down the laundry shoot."

Without sleep, caked in dirt with black feet, they walked back to their hotel, which was the same hotel which shots were fired from intended to kill them. Upon entering the hotel, the SWAT team shows up again with guns and telling everyone to get out. "We're thinking, 'we can't go through this again,'" said Ross.
