Survivors of the Uvalde school shooting, parents and community members testified before the U.S. House on Wednesday.
Miah Cerrillo, an 11-year-old survivor of the May 24 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, appeared on video at a U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform hearing on gun violence on June 8, 2022., our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
“He shot my teacher and told my teacher good night and shot her in the head,” she said in the prerecorded video shown at a hearing before the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform. “And then he shot some of my classmates and the white board.”Cerrillo was the youngest of a small group of Uvalde survivors and family members who testified at a U.S. House hearing Wednesday about the devastation wrought by gun violence in their communities.
At that point, the teacher told the students to “go hide.” Cerrillo hid behind her teacher’s desk among the backpacks. The shooter then shot “the little window,” presumably part of the door to the hallway. She said the gunman entered a neighboring classroom and was able to access her classroom through an adjoining door. That’s when he started shooting.“I thought [the gunman] was going to come back to the room, so I grabbed the blood and I put it all over me,” she said.
Rubio and her husband, Felix Rubio, then promised their daughter ice cream that evening for her academic achievements."We told her we loved her, and we would pick her up after school," Kimberly Rubio said."I can still see her, walking with us toward the exit." “We understand for some reason to some people, to people with money, to people who fund political campaigns, that guns are more important than children,” Rubio said. “So at this moment we ask for progress.”
