WASHINGTON — Miah Cerrillo gave lawmakers a horrifying first-hand account of the school massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, as she described covering herself in her friend’s blood to play dead while the shooter gunned down her classmates.
The fourth grader testified Wednesday via a pre-recorded video in which she answered questions about her experience that day. She recounted how her teacher made eye contact with the gunman through a small window in the door before he shot out the window and entered the adjoining classrooms.
“There’s a door between our classrooms and he went through there and shot my teacher and told my teacher ‘good night’ and shot her in the head,” Miah said. “And then he shot some of my classmates . . . he shot my friend that was next to me and I thought he was going to come back to the room so I grabbed the blood and put it all over me.”
