LAFAYETTE, La. — Two sisters who were at Thursday’s shooting at the Grand 16 Theater in Lafayette, Louisiana, saw each other for the first time in an interview with CBS News since the night John Houser opened fire on moviegoers, reports CBS News correspondent David Begnaud.

When Kaitlyn Petitjean, an EMT, was dispatched to treat the injured, she saw her sister, Nicole Zammit Fuselier, outside of the theater covered in blood.

“I saw her full of blood, so all I could think of is ‘Oh my gosh, what is she doing here? How is she involved? Why is she full of blood?’” Petitjean said.
