11 Year old smeared friend's blood on her and played dead. Survivor stories from Uvalde TX

They smeared blood on themselves, hid and watched their teachers get shot. These are the survivors’ stories

“When I heard the shooting through the door, I told my friend to hide under something so he won’t find us,” said the boy, who was not identified.

The boy, his best friend and three other students hid beneath a table with a tablecloth and were able to survive as his teachers and many of his classmates were killed.

Eleven-year-old Miah Cerillo survived by smearing her friend’s blood on herself and playing dead, her aunt, Blanca Rivera, told NBC News. She was hospitalized with bullet fragments in her back but has since been released, Rivera said.

Nine-year-old Kendall Olivarez was injured in the attack. She underwent surgery on her arm and was scheduled for more procedures, her aunt, Jennifer Marie Olivarez, said in a post on Facebook.

. I heard a commentator on Morning Joe (Barnacle) speak of cops at Sandy Hook

and forensic people. He said that these completely grown, experienced, somewhat jaded of course people have told him they have never been the same.

Aubree told her mother that during the shooting, a woman was banging on her classroom door and “begging for the teacher to let her in.”

Her teacher couldn’t unlock the door due to lockdown protocols, she said, and Aubree doesn’t know what happened to the woman or whether she was one of the teachers who was killed.

“I can just imagine the fear of hearing her yell, ‘Help!’ Help!’” Gonzales said, fighting back tears.

I never, ever again want to hear from the Q dipshits about how they're saving children. But they want guns everywhere. If anything, they're traumatizing kids for life. Fuck these scumbags.

At first I thought What The Hell? but then I sat back and realized it’s better to have a plan. It’s like CPR training - you may not remember all of it but you are familiar with it.

The cops f’ed up bad. Bad.
