Now, new reports are coming out about what the fourth grade students in that classroom had to go through as the shooter entered the building and committed the unimaginable acts of atrocity. Late on Wednesday night, family members of one of the students in that classroom — identified publicly as 11-year-old Miah Cerrillo — spoke with local Texas media outlets about the little girl’s horrific experience on Tuesday.
Blanca Rivera, Miah’s aunt, told KPRC and other outlets that her niece “played dead” to survive the terrible incident. Cerrillo’s teacher, Irma Garcia, was shot and killed by the assailant during the awful affair, at which point the little girl realized she needed to take action in whatever way she could.
Thinking quickly as the unfathomable occurred, Miah was able to keep herself out of the shooter’s line of sight long enough to call 911. Rivera explained that the girl apparently grabbed her deceased teacher’s phone to call emergency services while the attack was ongoing. As she did so, Rivera says, the quick-thinking young girl realized she also had to make it look like she was dead, too, so the shooter wouldn’t come back for her.
Rivera explained to the outlet:
Wow. To think of an 11-year-old being forced to go through
