Jets' Eric Decker and wife Jessie tackle bullying in schools

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Eric Decker never actually heard the gunshots.

The New York Jets wide receiver remembers being in the school lunchroom when the "Code Red" ominously blared over the intercom. As teachers frantically tried to move students to safety, Decker headed to the library with 10 other kids who piled into a closet and locked the door behind them.

Then, they waited.

Some cried while others tried to console them. For 45 minutes, Decker and his classmates feared they could be next.

"It's all still very vivid to me," Decker told The Associated Press, shaking his head.
