A fourth-grade boy who survived the devastating mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, recalled the moment that the shooter killed one of his classmates in front of him.
The boy, who was not named, spoke to local news outlet KENS5, saying that the shooter, who was identified as 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, came into the classroom and told the children "It's time to die."
"He shot the next person’s door. We have a door in the middle. He opened it. He came in and he crouched a little bit and he said, he said, 'It's time to die,'" the boy said.
Ramos, who stormed into the elementary school armed with an assault rifle and tactical vest, barricaded himself in adjoining children's classrooms and opened fire, killing 19 children and 2 teachers.
"When I heard the shooting through the door, I told my friend to hide under something so he won't find us," he said.
“I was hiding hard. And I was telling my friend to not talk because he is going to hear us.”
The boy, along with four of his other classmates, hid under a table that had a tablecloth over it, which may have shielded them from the shooter's view and saved their lives.
He detailed the moment that police entered the school and one of his classmates, unfortunately, became a target.
The Uvalde shooting survivor says his classmate was killed after responding to police.
"When the cops came, the cop said: 'Yell if you need help!' And one of the [people] in my class said 'help.' The guy overheard and he came in and shot her. The cop barged into that classroom. The guy shot at the cop. And the cops started shooting.”

Why don’t cops do regular school shooter scenario training? They waiting for Beto to get rid of all the guns?
great strategy to minimize collateral damage
taxpayer dollars at work
Who are these clowns? Do they do any LE training in that town?
Obviously not.
Clowns. How did they not notice at one point that they need a master key to the school.
$40 billion to a foreign country not even an ally not even a democracy and this stupid government can’t figure out how to protect kids in governamnet schools.
Feds.
Border Patrol SWAT team.
“He detailed the moment that police entered the school“
Trailing the killer by 40 minutes. When they do enter their incompetence gets a kid killed.
They were Border Patrol, so no.
The local cops were hiding outside.
This was part of the plan.
Arm the crazy. Stand down order. Open the back door. Let him kill.
Guarantee they have a 700-page bill ready to go already based on this. Politically useful timing.
gov schools should already be outlawed by now.
Work only in a moral & homogenous society
Before the shooter took out these poor souls gov schools were terrorizing them with transfreaks.
he shot 30+ kids, so 40 minutes probably accounted for a lot of the death due to bleed out.
Please. Stop.
Just don’t.
This makes us look stupid.
When I was teaching in a small Catholic school about 10 years ago, a local officer came and talked with the teachers. He said in an active shooter situation, the police would be there in 2-3 minutes tops and that they would enter the building and dispatch the shooter. It was our job to have a plan to lock down and keep the shooter out of classrooms or otherwise minimize damage until police arrived. How hard can it be?
The evidence is mounting. The crazed shooter had lots of help from the authorities.
A bunch of damned cowards. Every one of them should be fired, stripped of their pensions, sued into bankruptcy, and then prosecuted for criminal malfeasance.

Hmmmm! They can become brownshirts. Only they, antifee, and BLM will have guns. Wait, and best of all, anti-American government, and their employees, C./A./R./T./E./L./S.
They were slack in Sandy Hook too, no triage, no wounded, all who were shot were dead. They never talk about if they learned anything from that. They never learned from the Florida shooting either, allowing the killer a lot of time to accomplish his task.
Of course we have a problem with security, but the Police have been neutered. Instead of them being taught how to descalate situations, we need them to be given essentially free rein. The innocents lost by aggressive policing, pales in comparison to those save.
