Uvalde Shooting: Their Daughter Covered Herself in Blood to Survive

Two families, one tragedy, two different outcomes. On May 24, 2022, a gunman entered Uvalde Elementary School and took the lives of 19 students and two teachers. Parents Kimberly and Angel reflect back on that day when they lost their 10-year-old daughter, Amerie. Kimberly was with her daughter at the school just one hour before the gunman entered the building and says she asks herself why she wasn’t there to protect her daughter. Amerie’s best friend, Khloie, was in the classroom when the gunman entered their room. She says she was holding hands with Amerie right before she left her hiding spot to call 911 for help and was killed by the gunman. Khloie’s parents, Jamie and Ruben, reveal what she told them happened inside her classroom during the 77 minutes as she, her classmates, and teachers waited helplessly for someone to save them (21036)

There is absolutely ZERO excuse for a CHILD to be on the phone with 911 for *50 MINUTES* and recieve NO help. Unbelievable.

[DM-uzlf]

This is a tragedy but the fact that none of the officers or that dept has been held accountable is unreal.

[Gfysdegen]

Devastatingly she’ll never be the same. What ever music he was playing is a trigger and haunting :( blessings your full recovery to every Uvalde victim!

[letmedowngentley]

Oh precious baby girl... This is not your fault and its not Amerie's fault... You both are heroes... You lived a hero and were able to tell the others to be quiet and Amerie died a hero trying to call for help. You are so brave and your friend would want for you to be happy because right now, she is happy too. She is in Heaven with Jesus. Live for Him sweetheart and you will see Amerie again. She will be the first the greet you. May Jesus wrap His loving arms around you and give you peace.

If she had held on to that girl, she would have panicked & found a way to free herself from the grip to try and do what she felt was right. The girl wasn't thinking straight due to the situation at hand. Chloe shouldn't blame herself for letting her hand go. The situation wasn't her fault at all.
Im heartbroken by situations like this. It's insane what people are capable of doing. I wish I could just fix the world..

[DiscipleOfHeavyMeta]

Smart girl. Definitely smarter than the local police force.

[myleneh]

What a nightmare for these parents. So heartbreaking.
No child should ever have to endure this nightmare. May these families fine some type of peace in the future 💚💚💚🕊😢😢

[faith_God]

Rest in Heaven to all the victims 🙏🏼 I'm so sorry 💔

[mamaccii_]

I can't sit through this. I am so so sorry this happened.

[rayd]

That girl is so brave knowing she could have been killed still went to hug her friend. She has so much love and would risk her life for one last hug. 😢

[Ashley_Lauren]

Those police officers are to blame for those deaths just as much is the man who committed them. They let those kids down. Because they were scared. It doesn’t matter how much you get paid. Your job is to serve and protect. And they did neither. 🤬🤬🤬🤬 am I the only one who thinks that those cops should face some kind of punishment for leaving those kids for dead!!??

[iloveucumbiero]

So sad and tragic that kids have to learn to play dead at school. Im sorry that she feels its her fault because it definitely was not it was thr shooters fault. Hope she can move on with her life ❤️

[jkeezy]

If only there were armed police near or around the building for hours while this was going on. Then she wouldn't have had to cover herself in her classmates blood and play dead.

[tiiii]

These officers failed those children💔💔💔

[sherryfender]

This is unfathomable. Absolutely horrific.

[Shayannad]

Why this should happen in our school?!!! isn’t school is safest place for kids to learn? If you have mental issue seek a specialist don’t kill innocent kids... Seriously why would you do that?!

[getoffyoubassandletsfish]

Why call cops they won’t do anything 🤷🏼‍♂️

[jedimando]

I was around when columbine happened. I never thought that anyone would experience something like that again...then this happened...it's terrifying

[chnorwood]

If the police never entered the classrooms, how did they know what that these children went through?

[moy]

I hope none of the parents storm the police station with an AR15, because then not a single police officer would be able to do anything about it
