Fassett's screams shattered the stillness of the station house as he slumped against the wall.

And in that same instant, a woman's scream shattered the silence.

Then a child's scream shattered the peace of the afternoon.

And then a shrill scream shattered the afternoon, and all was chaos.

Suddenly, screams shattered her fragile rest and her eyes flew open.

Their screams shattered the night, and a sense of confusion and panic erupted.

A scream shattered the sudden muteness of the crowd.

Another scream shattered the air, but an attack did not materialize.

He hadn't yet figured out how when a wild scream and gunshots shattered the silence.

Shouts and screams, combined with the fire of automatic weapons, shattered the air.
