— A fourth-grade Robb Elementary school student who survived the shooting by playing dead and covering herself in her friend's blood testified in front of Congress Wednesday morning.
Miah Cerrillo, a 4th grader who survived the shooting at Robb Elementary School, appears via video before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Wednesday, June 8, 2022."He shot my friend that was next to me and I thought he was going to come back to the room so I grabbed her blood and put it all over me," Cerrillo said.
The 10-year-old's father was on Capitol Hill. He said his daughter doesn't feel safe at school anymore. They were among several witnesses testifying and pleading with lawmakers to pass stricter gun laws."I raced to the hospital to find parents outside yelling children's names in desperation and sobbing as they begged for any news related to their child." Dr. Roy Guerrero said.
Uvalde native Matthew McConaughey also attended the hearing, just one day after his emotional plea at the White House, also urging more action on gun control.
