An injured Robb Elementary School teacher remembers waiting an hour in a classroom with her 16 students during the May 24 school shooting in Texas.
UVALDE, Texas — Elsa Avila slid to her phone, terrified as she held the bleeding side of her abdomen and tried to stay calm for her students. In a text to her family that she meant to send to fellow Uvalde teachers, she wrote:"I'm shot."
"I'm trying to make sense of everything," Avila said in an August interview,"but it is never going to make sense." In room 109, Avila repeatedly texted for help, according to messages reviewed by The Associated Press.Then at 11:38, in a message to the school's vice principal. At 11:45, she responded to a text from the school's counselor asking if her classroom was on lockdown with:"I'm shot, send help." And when the principal assured her that help was on the way, she replied simply:"Help."It's unclear whether her messages were relayed to the police.
A light flashed into their window, but nobody identified themselves. Scared it might be the gunman, the students moved away. "I never saw my kids again. I know they climbed out the window and I could just hear them telling them, `Run, run, run!'" Avila said.
