A teacher who tried to protect her young students from a killer gunman has been named as one of the victims of the Texas school massacre.
Eva Mireles, a 44-year-old wife and mum, was a special education teacher at Robb Elementary who had worked in the school district for 17 years, her aunt said in a message confirming that she was among the dead.
Lydia Martinez Delgado told the New York Times her niece had been shot and killed while trying to shield the children in her classroom on Tuesday and that she was "very loved".
