Uvalde survivor shares firsthand account of classroom shooting | kens5.com

“When I heard the shooting through the door, I told my friend to hide under something so he won’t find us,” he said. I was hiding hard. And I was telling my friend to not talk because he is going to hear us.  

The boy and four others hid under a table that had a tablecloth over it, which may have shielded them from the shooter’s view and saved their lives. The boy shared heartbreaking details about what happened in that room.

When the cops came, the cop said: ‘Yell if you need help!’ And one of the persons in my class said ‘help.’ The guy overheard and he came in and shot her,” the boy said. “The cop barged into that classroom. The guy shot at the cop. And the cops started shooting.

He said that once the shooting stopped, he came out from under the table.

I just opened the curtain. And I just put my hand out, he said. “I got out with my friend. I knew it was police. I saw the armor and the shield.
