As a gunman entered an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, last week and began firing, one student says his teacher -- wounded by bullets -- had to text 911 for help after a phone call did not go through.
9-year-old Daniel, alongside his mother, Briana Ruiz, told CNN the gunman fired several shots into his classroom at Robb Elementary after being unable to enter. The door had been locked by his teacher, and the bullets fired struck the teacher as well as a classmate. Daniel began"hiding under a table next to the wall," and said he could see the gunman through the door's window. "I could still see his face," he said."I could see him staring at people in front of me.
Border Patrol agents belonging to a specialized unit arrived to the scene around 12:15 p.m. -- roughly 45 minutes after the gunman began shooting. The officer in charge had already made the determination that the subject was barricaded in the room, according to a source familiar with the situation. Children are Uvalde's pride and joy.
