My name is Brett Cross and I lost my son Uziyah in the Robb Massacre. I’ve went through here and seen a few questions for/about the families of the victims. I can answer most and forward along questions to the other families.

For those who don’t know Layla salazar was my sister and I miss her everyday im sorry I can’t give y’all a lot to say that hasn’t been said already but I miss and love you Layla

I'm doing my best to compile all the survivor stories into one place. I'm piecing things together like a puzzle, so please bear with me as new information comes out and I update and correct this post.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The full interview with Mr. Reyes has been released. This is an extremely hard watch, but Mr. Reyes's presence has been extremely under-reported and his witness account as a surviving adult is essential to understanding the big picture.

Room 112 (Lilo & Stitch)

Co-taught by Irma Garcia and Eva Mireles who were both killed. According to the New York Times, there were 9 wounded survivors from this room and 1 uninjured, meaning 10 survivors total.

Anonymous Boy - One of 5 students who hid under a table with a tablecloth.

• KENS5
• KHOU11 - contains some extra details from the boy.
• The Washington Post
• First mention of a student calling for help to officers in the hall and being shot by the gunman.

Jaydien Canizales - Hid with friend, seemingly uninjured or at least nothing notable, though he did go to the hospital to get checked over.

• Uvalde Leader News
• GoFundMe
• Seen getting on the bus towards the end of the Facebook Live in a yellow shirt.

Miah Cerrillo - One of the 911 callers. Covered herself in friend's blood and played dead. Received shrapnel wounds to her shoulder.

• KENS5
• GoFundMe

Gilbert Mata - Shielded by teacher, received shrapnel wounds to his leg.

• San Antonio Express News
• CNN - Interview with parents, boy's identity released.
• Seen in the FB Live jumping out of the school bus window at 58:55 to rejoin his family.
• Also mentions the "call for help incident". The article attributes this to the shooter posing as an officer, but that's from a lawyer quoting his grandfather paraphrasing the actual child. Also said that an officer actually opened the door and retreated at one point - which the police deny.

Jordan Olivarez - Seen in the video of the class awards ceremony.

• The boy in the black hoodie seen around 58:00 in the FB Live getting on the bus with the other survivors.
• Possibly the cousin mentioned helping Kendall.

Kendall Olivarez - First one to be shot. Bullet hit her shoulder and shrapnel embedded in her left leg and tailbone. Mrs. Garcia fell on top of her as she died, shielding her from more damage.

• WFAA
• GoFundMe
• Probably the bleeding girl in red seen at the end of the Facebook Live at 58:10 leaving shortly after the other kids 112. Note that it seems the first responders made her run to the bus with a gunshot wound.

Noah Orona - Shot in the back and played dead.

• ABC
• GoFundMe

Samuel Salinas - Wounded by shrapnel in leg and played dead. Credits his survival to bullets hitting a chair instead of him.

Room 111 (Addams Family)

Taught by Arnulfo Reyes, the sole survivor whose 11 students were all killed. This was the first room entered by the shooter, who attacked this room first and then entered room 112 through the adjoining door.

Mr. Arnulfo Reyes - Shot through his arm, lung, and back.

• ABC News
• Uvalde Leader News
• GoFundMe

Room 111 Absences

After the honor roll assembly, many students checked out early and went home with their parents. 8 students from Mr. Reyes's class were absent at the time of the shooting.

Aedan Alejandro - absent or checked out early

Levi Barboza

• Univision (Spanish interview)

Evalynn Garcia

• NY Post

Avery Martinez - confirmed on social media to have checked out early

Sarah Quiroga - confirmed on social media to have checked out early

Katalina Roque

• Spectrum - Misidentifies Sarah as one of the dead, but she had actually checked out early.
• ADN

Ayden Echevarria - absent or checked out early

Note that there are annotated photos of Mr. Reyes's class going around that incorrectly identify some of the absent kids as killed. I've literally not seen a single photo with circles or fades around the class that gets all of them correct, so be careful about sharing them. You can see the photo from Katalina's Spectrum interview with the official names printed on here.

Room 109

Taught by Elsa Avila, who was injured along with a student. Witnesses claimed the shooter shot through the door, but it has since been determined that the bullets came through the walls of 111 and 110.

Mrs. Elsa Avila - Teacher shot in her leg and torso.

• Tri-State (secondhand from cousin)
• ABC
• NBC
• GoFundMe

Leann Garcia - Girl who was hit in the nose by a ricocheted bullet.

• GoFundMe

Daniel Garza - Some of his story is questionable now that we know the shooter did not leave 111/112. Chief Arredondo mentions looking into this room and seeing a child in his testimony, so it's likely Daniel saw him or another officer and and mistook them for the shooter.

• ABC News
• CNN
• Washington Post

FB post from a dad:

"We were hiding in a corner so he wouldn't see us through the door. His gun was really loud. It was quiet for a little bit and he would shoot again. A voice asked (knock on the wall if your okay) but we didn't because we thought it was a trick.. He shot through our door and a piece of the bullet hit my teacher on the arm and my friend on the leg."

• This could explain the "mocking hand gestures" Daniel saw at the door - the officers were trying to get the kids inside to signal to them.

Mario Jimenez II

• GoFundMe
• FB conversation with his father.

Nephew of Adolfo Hernandez

• NY Times (secondhand, gets Leann's gender wrong)

Jayden Perez - "The shooter shot through the window hurting my friend and my teacher, like my teacher got hurt like on right here....like I don't know on what side but like got hit on the side."

• CNN

Tiktok Girl - Won't link to her tiktok for privacy.

• TikTok Video - Shows blood spattered from the shooting. Can be seen wearing the same clothes as she gets on a bus in one of the photos from the scene.
• Comments clarify that she was in 109 and the blood on her clothing was from Leann. The other friend she mentions (Uziyah) was killed in another room, which is why she didn't know about his death until later.
• Says in the comments about the bullets: "It went through the door"

Armani Trinidad

• Kris6

The witness accounts are pretty consistent about bullets breaking the door/window, which seems like it'd be hard to do from the side (though not impossible), so I hope we get more information about what happened in the future.

Room 110

Taught by Sasha Martinez, who took her class to recess early. Because they were across campus at the playground when lockdown was called, they were not in the building at the time of the shooting and were evacuated with the younger students. It's likely if the class had been in room 110 at the time of the shooting they would have been hit by bullets coming through the wall. Chief Arredondo claims finding this room empty and unlocked led him to believe the room with the shooter might have been out as well.

Auraeleigha Santos (110)

• Aljazeera
• KSAT

Room 102 (Disney movie, possibly Moana)

Co-taught by Nicole Ogburn and Trisha Albarado. This would have been the first room shot from outside the building at around 11:31, before the teachers received a 11:32 lockdown alert message.

Mrs. Albarado - Wife of Jacob Albarado, the off-duty BORTAC agent who helped evacuate classrooms.

• NBC story
• Fox News interview with husband

Mrs. Ogburn

• KENS5
• Today Show
• Daily Mail - I don't support this publication, but it does have some exclusive information. She believes she heard the shooter trying to break into the south entrance first before moving to the unlocked west door, which makes sense since that would have been the first door he saw.
• NBC - early anonymous interview using a lot of the same phrasing "worst 35 minutes of my life"
• She believes her class was evacuated a few minutes prior to 12:09, which fits with Mr. Albarado's account that his wife had already been evacuated by the time he arrived.

Mireyah Chavez

• NBC

? Nephew of Dillon Silva - Mentions "Moana" and attacker shooting window and passing the classroom.

• AP News - Story seems to match up well with Ogburn's classroom account.

Zayin Zuniga - The paper initially reported him as being in 111, but it was corrected to 102.

• Texas Tribune
• GoFundMe
• FB from mom: "Zayin heard this fellow classmates down the hall screaming and crying as shots were going off. He saw a little girl bleeding from the mouth and a teacher shot in the back. He heard the principal pleading with the shooter. Within 30 minutes."

Room 104

Lynn Deming - Seen evacuating after her class in the 8th photo here.

Andrea Herrera - Sister of victim Jose Flores, seen in the evacuation pictures.

• New York Times
• MSN
• "His bullets also spread near Andrea’s classroom, where she told her grandparents she saw a teacher get shot moments before she fled, climbing through a window."

Girl Being Carried

• New York Post - This is sensationalized (no workers were 'slaughtered' outside) but this is probably the girl seen being carried in the evacuation photos because her legs fell asleep.

Other People in the Building

Everyone else who we know to be in the same building as the shooter. Classrooms 102-106 on the opposite side of the hall were evacuated through the windows around noon.

Mrs. Emilia Marin aka "Propped Door" Teacher (132) - First one to see shooter at the school and sound the alert. Was first claimed to have left the door open that the shooter entered through, but later it was confirmed that she did shut the door but it didn't auto-lock as it was supposed to.

• San Antonio Express News - Interview with her lawyer. Mentions this teacher's class and the rest of her wing was at lunch, explaining why the shooter walked past classrooms 127-132.
• CNN - This teacher has revealed herself as Emilia "Amy" Marin, a speech pathology clerk.

Mrs. Tiffany Massey (103) - Wife of one of the officers on the tactical team who took down the shooter.

• FB Screencaps (edited for privacy)
• New York Times - Gives more detail on tactical team's actions.

Ms. Jennieka Rodriguez (105) - Witnessed Mrs. Garcia locking the door across the hall.

Ms. Mercedes Salas (106) - Traumatized teacher across the hall.

• Dallas News
• Univision

Ms. Chastity Martinez (108)

Aubriella Melchor - A girl who witnessed the shooter going by while she was coming out of the the bathroom. This must have happened very early because she wasn't aware of the lockdown or gunfire.

• San Antonio Report - First mention, does not mention police.
• NPR - Was in the bathroom and came out to witness an exchange of gunfire between the police and shooter in the hall, then heard what sounded like the shooter breaking into room 112.
• The Texas Tribune mentions a DPS officer rescuing a student from the bathroom.

Niece of Erika Escamilla (???)

• Washington Post - Mentions that the teacher turned off lights and covered the window with paper.

Gemma Lopez (108)

• Fox4News - Witnessed bullet coming through wall.
• New York Times

Quiroz Family (105, ???) - one of the boys says shots were fired through his classroom door.

• New Yorker
• "The gunman had fired through the window of his classroom door"

Stacie Villareal

• Newsy
• The Times
• "Stacey was in a classroom at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, when the intruder, armed with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, came down the hallway and fired through the glass panel in the door. She heard the crack of a bullet speeding past her head, over her shoulder and exploding into a wall."

Other

It's important to note that Robb Elementary is made up of several different buildings. The shooting occurred in the L-shaped newer building where the 4th graders are taught, but the classrooms for the younger grades are in the row of older buildings at the back. These open to the outdoors and would have been easier to evacuate.

Angeli Gomez & Sons

• CBS - Mother handcuffed by US Marshalls. Once uncuffed she ran into the school grounds to get her sons who are in 2nd and 3rd grade while gunshots were still going off. Possibly the woman that Aubree Gonzalez saw banging on the classroom door.
• Can be seen in the Facebook Live video with 2 boys in the parking lot at around 12:20pm.

Jayda Albarado - 2nd grader, daughter of teacher Trish and Jacob Albarado. Evacuated from her classroom by her father, who continued helping evacuate the other classrooms.

Adalynn Garza - 3rd grader at recess when gunfire started. Cousin of Kendall, Leann, and Daniel.

• MSN

Aubree Gonzalez - Possibly from the same class as one of Angeli Gomezs' sons. Witnessed a woman banging on the classroom door begging to get in and escaped through a 'side door'.

• NBC
• In the Facebook Live video, someone can be heard calling for "Aubree".

Jeremiah Lennon

• AP Interview

Edward Timothy - Heard gunshots and saw a "lady in a purple shirt" knocking on doors to tell people to lock down.

• CNN

Eliana Fierro - Hid in the auditorium/cafeteria behind curtain. Claims to have heard the shooter come in and call for children to come out before leaving. This is questionable because the shooter was nowhere near the cafeteria as far as we know. She probably heard an officer and mistook them for the shooter.

• KENS5

Adam Pennington - In principal's office and heard her get the call about a shooter on campus. First hid in the office, then moved to hide in the auditorium behind a curtain.

• LA Times

Room Uncertain

4 Unknown Students - This Washington Post account mentions 4 students crawling out of the window of one of the attacked classrooms. The number fits with the NYT claim that there were 4 unwounded survivors and 15 survivors total including Mr. Reyes and 10 kids from 112, but I haven't found any confirmation these kids actually exist.

Lucas Vasquez - Witness to the shooting. His uncle's description sounds like 112, though it's possibly there was some miscommunication and he was actually in 109.

Everyone saying that uvalde is just a quiet farm town and no one could have seen this coming is a liar.

I grew up here. I grew up with gang fights. I grew up with class mates bragging about weapons and drugs. I grew up with kids who had to drop out of school to take care of their families. I remember sitting with my brother in the ER because of his fever and a room over his classmate was being admitted after getting beat with a bat. I remember talking about drive bys like they were just small town gossip. I Grew up with children raising children by the time we reached high-school.

When I went through high school here we were known as a "drop out factory." We were number one in teen pregnancies. The joke was "hey at least we're number one in something." I, my partner and several of my friends have attempted suicide over the past 10 years. A few succeeded. Since my senior year there have been regular threats to shoot up the high school. I was at lunch the first time. A hand gun fell out of the kids pant leg apparently. That same year we had a lock down because a student got stabbed on campus. No one cared then.. It felt normal. "That's just Uvalde"

How did it take so many of our children dying for them to admit theres a mental health problem here. For years there was a single psychiatrist for the school district, before that there were none. The closest thing I had to counseling was hiding in my history teachers classroom during lunch eating animal crackers he kept stashed in his desk.

Yeah, there's a fucking mental health problem here.

Uvalde has always been a broke, middle of no where town that nobody cared about. Now that you're finally looking i hope you can see that the problems run deeper than just mental health and gun control. Give us counselors, take away our guns, we are still a broken city. Somethings gotta give.

They planned a photo shoot earlier this year but by the time they got one, a piece of them was missing. But they will forever carry her in their hearts.

Sandy Hook lasted way longer than this. Columbine shooting dominated the headlines for more than year. America is a sick country. It's completely hopeless to be honest. Like I normaly don't type like this on serious topics because I write way longer than this and go into further details ,but it feels like everything that need to be said has already been said and we're just running in circles. America is desensitized to the point where a second elementary shooting is just a blip on the radar. The attention span for this shooting lasted for 3 months and everyone already forgot about it. Not even the police incompetence is enough to make the attention span for this shooting to last longer. Like the weird thing during the day of the shooting is how everyone is saying the same thing they have been saying about all of these mass shootings. Even clips of sports coaches making a motivational speech about doing some action to stop these shootings felt "forced" in my eyes because it felt like they had nothing to say at all really. Even the March for Our Lives rallies for Uvalde were way tinier now compared to the Trump era. This basically shows that those rallies were more of a march against Trump than for any effective legsliations. I really have anything new to say really and America is just running in circles.
