\nLosing a child is one of the most devastating things a parent can experience, but the mother of Ohio school shooting victim Demetrius Hewlin believes in forgiveness, even under the circumstances.<\/p>\n

T.J. Lane is\u00a0accused of taking a pistol to Chardon High School and firing 10 shots<\/a>\u00a0at a group of students sitting at a cafeteria table on Monday.Three students died, including Hewlin<\/a>\u00a0and two others were seriously hurt, according to the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Despite the tragedy, Hewlin’s mother\u00a0Phyllis Ferguson told ABC News in an exclusive interview<\/a>, “You have to accept things done and move on.”<\/p>\n

When asked what she would say to the suspected shooter, Ferguson said, “I would tell him I forgive him because, a lot of times, they don’t know what they’re doing. That’s all I’d say.”<\/p>\n

The irony of the tragedy is that Hewlin was not known for punctuality, his mother said, except on Monday.<\/p>\n

“He wasn’t a morning person and he was late for school. But that one day he wasn’t late,” his mom told ABC. “We were running a little late, but we weren’t late enough. But it’s okay. It’s in God’s hands. Let His will be done.”<\/p>\n

Recordings of the 911 calls<\/a>\u00a0reveal panicked students and high school administrators pleading for help immediately after shots rang out in the cafeteria,\u00a0as previously reported in The Huffington Post.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Hi. Chardon High School. We got shots fired. Gunshots. Multiple gunshots,” said one woman.<\/p>\n
