Hayley Edmonds shared this shot to Instagram with the caption that this photo was taken just minutes before the shots rang out
'She has some PTSD and I think probably everybody [who was] there does. It's the deadliest mass shooting in American history. It's horrible.'
'She was so lucky to come out totally unscathed, physically, but the emotional and mental healing process will go on for years and years,' King continued.
'But we're just so thankful that she just ran. She just ran and ran and ran and didn't stop running. Her roommate actually grabbed her, and was like, ''No, let's go,'' 'cause Haley wanted to lay down, but her roommate was like, ''No, we've got to keep going.''
King says Hayley is taking the trauma seriously and has sought help to properly process what happened that night.
'I'm really proud of her because I think she's been through a lot in the last couple of years,' King explained.
Hayley's mother Lee Ann Horton died of cancer in July of 2015.
'And a lot of times, it's easier for people just to retreat into their emotions, rather than to feel them and express them,' she said of former MLB center fielder Jim Edmonds' daughter with Horton.

'Haley's doing great with this. She sought out group therapy.' She added 'She said it went really well and she's trucking ahead in life and moving on. I'm really proud of her. She's growing up.'
Hayley shared pictures on Instagram from the event after the shooting happened, writing, 'I am so unbelievably saddened by this event. You truly never understand until it happens to you and the people you love. I have no words for how traumatizing this experience was for me, my friends and my family.'
