“I saw that shadow of evil and literally had blood of an innocent man on my hands. I am so lucky to be alive,” he wrote. “You can’t even imagine what we went through… The bodies by the stares and on the seats… It’s all a lot to take in.”

Ramos added that he attended with two friends and his little sister, all of whom made it out of the theater unharmed.

“But to all the injured ppl and to the families and friends that lost someone there… I’m sorry and my heart goes out to you all,” he wrote.

As the photo was shared more and more widely, even strangers offered condolences.
