Inside a Uvalde Classroom: A Taunting Gunman and 78 Minutes of Terror
UVALDE, Texas — The first shots came from the hallway outside the classroom. Arnulfo Reyes, a fourth-grade teacher at Robb Elementary School, quickly remembered the active shooter training he had rehearsed so many times and told his 11 students to lie under their desks and “act like you are asleep.”
A black shadow appeared at one of the classroom doors and a plume of fire flared from the tip of what looked like a rifle. Mr. Reyes felt a bullet piercing his arm, tearing off a chunk of flesh and bone. Then the gunman turned on the children. The rampage was so brutal and so swift, the teacher said, that he did not hear a single whimper from them as their bodies were shredded.

to describing how I would feel if I had experienced something like that.
I DO know that I'd be throwing things at the TV every time ANY politician came on and said ANYTHING other than doing something about GUN CONTROL.
Mr. Reyes' life will never be the same - THANKS, NRA - THANKS, MITCH MCCONNELL, THANKS, REPUBLICANS and ANY POLITICIAN THAT WILL NOT DO THE RIGHT THING!!!!!!!
