The key to the city
Outside, Zoller waited anxiously for her children. Hannah came out first, carried by another parent. Zoller grabbed her and held her close. She wasn't hurt. Less than a minute later—"It felt like forever," says Zoller—Morgan walked out, with a child holding each hand.
Today, recalling Morgan's composure, Zoller can't conceal her pride. "After seeing what she saw, she was smiling at them and telling them it was going to be okay."
As other children emerged from the building, Zoller saw that some were covered in blood. "That's when I realized it was real," she says. Miraculously, none of the children had been harmed.
The police arrested Robert Dunn, the victim's estranged husband, at the scene. Angry about his impending divorce and frustrated because he was unable to see his daughter without supervision, he had bought the gun at a pawnshop, according to the police.
Dunn, indicted on a charge of first-degree murder, pleaded not guilty in March. Christine Dunn's parents are now caring for her daughter.
In recognition of Zoller's actions that day, Cape Coral mayor Eric Feichthaler awarded her the keys to the city. "That kind of heroism is very rare," he said.
Zoller has a slightly different take. "I was just being a mom," she says.
