An 11-year-old girl who survived the horrific massacre at an elementary school in Texas revealed that she smeared herself with the blood of a murdered schoolmate, in an attempt to hide from the shooter.
Mia Cirillo, who lost the ability to talk to men following the massacre, agreed to an interview with a CNN reporter away from the camera, where she told her that she had used her dead teacher’s phone to call for help, while the killer was shooting children in her school, in one of the areas of Texas. rural.
This is the first testimony of a surviving student from inside Robb Elementary School in Yuvaldi, in which Salvador Ramos carried out his mass crime that killed 19 children and two schools, in one of the worst shootings in the United States.
Mia, who suffers from hair loss following the massacre, recounted that Ramos exchanged looks with one of the teachers as he made his way to her classroom.
Then he said “good night” and finished off the teacher with his semi-automatic rifle, then pointed the gun at the second teacher and several of Mia’s classmates and started shooting and killing them.
Ramos later moved to another classroom, shooting terrified children, Mia said.
Mia added that she searched with a colleague for the phone of her victim teacher and called the police, saying, “Please come,” but her fear of the killer’s return prompted her to smear herself with the blood of a murdered colleague in camouflage, while she was lying on the ground for a period that she described as hours before the help arrived.
It was an honor to meet 11-year-old Miah, who survived the Robb Elementary shooting in Uvalde by smearing her friend’s blood all over her and playing dead.

The page had raised more than $300,000 as of Friday, although the target set for the fund was 10,000.
