Aunt – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Price

The family of an 11-year-old girl who survived the bloodbath at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday says the 4th grader performed useless after the gunman entered her classroom.

Miah Cerrillo's aunt and godmother said the 4th grader is struggling to cope and telling them what she witnessed throughout the taking pictures.

"Around midnight my sister-in-law referred to as me and she or he was just crying, like 'I think it simply hit Miah. I feel everything came to reality now,'" said Blanca Rivera.

Rivera mentioned Miah's instructor, Irma Garcia, was one of the two academics killed. Her pals and classmates were also targeted.

Rivera said that's when Miah went into survival mode.

"Miah acquired some blood and put it on herself so she may pretend she was useless," said Rivera. "It's too much for me to play that scene again and again, but that is what my sister-in-law mentioned is that she noticed her friend full of blood and he or she bought blood and put it on herself."

Miah was injured however taken to the hospital and has been released.

"My brother stated she had bullet fragments in her back," stated Rivera.

Rivera, a mom of three, stated the family is rallying round Miah to help her recover bodily, emotionally and spiritually.

"At this point, we just have to pray and ask God to help us move forward by way of this situation, I do know it's traumatizing as it's," mentioned Rivera.

Nearly everyone in the town of Uvalde has been touched by the lack of someone within the mass shooting at Robb Elementary Faculty, residents are supporting one another as they start coping with the tragedy.
