An 11-year-old girl survived the massacre at Uvalde Elementary School in Texas by dousing herself in the blood of a classmate and pretending to be dead until the police arrived.
Mia Cerrilo told CNN that the class was watching a movie when one of the teachers received a message warning of the presence of a gunman in the school. The teacher got up to go and lock the door, but Salvador Ramos was already there. According to Mia, the gunman looked the teacher in the eye, said “good night” and fired. After killing the teacher, Ramos locked the door and started shooting at the students. Bullet fragments hit Mia in the back and neck. When the gunman entered the next room, continuing to shoot, Mia and her friend called the police on the phone of one of the teachers. Then the girl covered herself in the blood of a murdered colleague and remained motionless until the arrival of the police, listening to the shots and screams of her wounded colleagues.
The family says that the girl is very traumatized, cannot sleep and is afraid of strangers. The child psychological treatment fundraising page raised nearly $300,000 (€289,000) in just two days.
