Robb Elementary School massacre: 80 minutes of horror in Uvalde, Texas

Robb Elementary School massacre: 80 minutes of horror in Uvalde, Texas

Within hours, the little aspiring lawyers, police officers, dancers and biologists of Robb Elementary would cross paths with the high school dropout who gifted himself two AR-15 style rifles and hundreds of rounds of ammunition he legally purchased for his 18th birthday one week earlier.

At 11:33 a.m. Ramos entered the school, unimpeded, through a rear door that a teacher had left propped open. He fired more than 100 rounds in the school and two adjoining classrooms. A Border Patrol tactical team fatally shot him more than an hour after the terror began.

Grieving parents planned funerals as they seethed over the delayed response. Law enforcement officials for days offered conflicting explanations. A public safety department colonel admitted Friday that waiting in a school hallway while trapped students made 911 calls was the “wrong decision” by the commanding officer at the scene. It’s not clear how many lives the mistake may have cost.

Uvalde’s nearly 16,000 working-class, mostly Latino residents are now the latest mourners in an eerily familiar American tragedy.

“It was something I never want to see again,” said Judge Eulalio “Lalo” Diaz, who, as Uvalde County justice of the peace, had the task of identifying the slain children and teachers in a county with no medical examiner. “These are our children.”

‘Just wait for it’

Ramos, who had no criminal record, had few friends and largely kept to himself. In the weeks leading up to the massacre, he exhibited a dark side in livestreams on the social media app Yubo. Several users who witnessed the recent videos said he told girls he would rape them, showed off a rifle he bought, and threatened to shoot up schools. They didn’t take him seriously until now.

At about 11 a.m. on Tuesday he called a 15-year-old girl in Germany. He had befriended her earlier this month on the social media app.

Uvalde gunman threatened rapes and school shootings on social media app Yubo in weeks leading up to the massacre, users say

The young man and the teen from Frankfurt spoke daily on FaceTime. They also communicated on Yubo and played and chatted on the Plato gaming app. He was curious about life in Germany. He confessed to spending a lot of time alone at home.

“He looked happy and comfortable talking to me,” said the girl, whose mother gave permission for her to be interviewed.

Still, some chats alarmed her. He admitted hurling dead cats at houses. And he never mentioned plans to meet friends.

In videos and text messages, Ramos spoke of visiting his new friend in Europe. One message included a flight itinerary.

“I’m coming over soon,” he wrote.

On Monday, Ramos told the girl he had received a package of bullets that expanded upon entering tissue.

Why? she asked.

“Just wait for it,” he said, ominously.

The next day, in the call just after 11 on the morning of the shootings, he told the girl he loved her.

Screen shots of messages Ramos sent soon after the call show he complained that his grandmother had contacted AT&T about “my phone.”

“It’s annoying,” he wrote.

At 11:06 a.m. came a chilling message: “I just shot my grandma in her head.”

His final text to his new online friend was at 11:21 a.m. local time — then early evening in Germany: “Ima go shoot up” an elementary school.

Gunman opens fire, then enters school

The shooter drove a pickup to the school campus and crashed the truck in a ditch.

With days left in the school year, the second- through fourth-graders of Robb Elementary collected their awards Tuesday morning.

The children smiled and posed for pictures. Students watched Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch” in the waning days of a long semester.

Less than a mile away, Ramos — after shooting his 66-year-old grandmother in the face and texting his German friend one last time — drove a pickup to the school campus and crashed the truck in a ditch. It was 11:28 a.m. local time.

He opened fire on two people outside a funeral home across the street but did not hit them. His grandmother managed to call 911. She was airlifted to a hospital in San Antonio and is expected to survive.

Derek Gonzalez was near the school when he heard the gunfire.

“Shooting! Shooting!” he recalled a woman shouting outside as bullets struck the ground.

Within minutes, Ramos made his way from the road to the school parking lot and began firing at classroom windows. Moments before he pulled open the building’s unlocked rear door, a school safety officer in a patrol car drove right by the gunman, who had hunkered down behind a car.

At 11:33 a.m. Ramos moved down a hallway and into one of two adjoining classrooms — 111 and 112. At no time since crashing the truck did police confront him.

Minutes later, seven officers arrived at the school. Three officers approached the locked classroom where the gunman had now barricaded himself. Two officers were shot from behind a door and suffered graze wounds.

A barrage of more than 100 rounds echoed through the halls of Robb Elementary in the slaughter’s first minutes. It was at least the 30th school shooting at a K-12 school this year.

He said ‘goodnight,’ then shot teacher

Miah Cerrillo, 11, was watching the Disney movie with classmates. Alerted to a shooter in the building, teachers Eva Mireles and Irma Garcia moved to protect their young charges. When one teacher tried to lock the classroom door, the gunman shot out a door window.

The teacher backpedaled and the gunman followed her. He said “Goodnight,” then shot her. He turned and opened fire on the other teacher and Miah’s classmates.

Children are Uvalde's pride and joy. After school shooting, the town is reeling from mass tragedy

The girl cried at times and wrapped herself in a blanket as she recalled the horror. She heard screams and more shots when the gunman entered a connected classroom. Between rounds, the shooter played music Miah described as “sad — like you want people to die.”

Miah feared he would come back for her and a few surviving friends. She covered her hands with the blood of a classmate slain next to her and smeared herself with it. She played dead.

At one point Miah and a classmate managed to use the phone of their dead teacher to call 911.

“Please come,” she told the dispatcher. “We’re in trouble.”

Commander makes ‘the wrong decision’

Around the time students started making 911 calls as many as 19 law enforcement officers had already taken cover in the hallway, at 12:03 p.m. They took no action and waited for classroom keys and tactical equipment.

At 12:16 p.m. a girl who made several 911 calls told a dispatcher that eight or nine children were alive in her classroom.

“The on-scene commander at that time believed that it had transitioned from an active shooter to a barricaded subject,” Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Col. Steven McCraw said on Friday, describing the call not to confront the shooter as “the wrong decision, period.”

“There’s no excuse for that,” he added.

Steven McCraw, director and colonel of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said the decision not to confront the shooter sooner was wrong.

The official who made the decision not to breach the classroom was the school district police chief, Pedro “Pete” Arredondo, who has not spoken publicly since two very brief press statements on the day of the shootings. He has three decades of law enforcement experience. There was no response to attempts to reach Arredondo at his home on Friday.

Before the end of the noontime hour on Tuesday, at least 10 911 calls were made from classrooms, including several from the same girl pleading for help. She whispered at one point that multiple bodies surrounded her in Room 112.

Amerie Jo Garza turned 10 years old weeks before the attack. She got her first cell phone as a gift. Classmates would later tell her stepfather, med aide Angel Garza, that she was killed while trying to call 911.

“She was just trying to call authorities,” said Angel Garza, sobbing as he cradled a photo of Amerie holding an honor roll certificate.

“I just want people to know she died trying to save her classmates.”

The chaos extended to outside the school

Students run to safety after escaping from a window at Robb Elementary School on Tuesday.

During the siege, some responding officers helped evacuate students and teachers in other parts of the school.

Frustrated parents gathered outside during the rampage. They urged officers holding them back to storm the school to stop the bloodshed.

One parent, Victor Luna, pleaded with officers to give him their gear. His son Jayden survived the shooting but he didn’t know that at the time.

Luna and other parents watched nervously as officers escorted students from the school. Video from the scene showed officers physically restraining some parents.

Throughout the night distraught families gathered at the SSGT Willie de Leon Civic Center, where buses delivered survivors. DNA samples were collected from parents to confirm whether their children were among the victims.

As the death toll grew, relatives who spent hours watching as others were reunited with their sons and daughters walked away sobbing from the makeshift reunification center.

Doctors treat ‘destructive wounds’

The AR-15 rounds struck the heart of a small town.

Xavier and Lexi, the honor roll students, were among the victims. As were teachers Mireles and Garcia, who had taught together for five years. Two days after Garcia’s death, her husband, Joe, suffered a fatal heart attack. Their relatives said he died of a broken heart.

Other young victims were José Flores Jr., 10, and Eliana “Ellie” Garcia, who was 9. Nevaeh Alyssa Bravo was 10. Jacklyn Jaylen Cazares, 10, was killed along with her 10-year-old cousin and classmate Annabell Guadalupe Rodriguez.

There was Makenna Lee Elrod, 10; Uziyah Garcia, 10; Jayce Carmelo Luevanos, 10; Tess Marie Mata, 10; Maranda Mathis, 11; Alithia Ramirez, 10; Maite Rodriguez, 10; Layla Salazar, 11; Jailah Nicole Silguero, 10; Eliahana ‘Elijah’ Cruz Torres, 10; and Rogelio Torres, 10.

These are the faces of those killed in the attack.

Nearly 20 people were injured in the attack with a rifle that has been used in some of the most notorious and deadly mass killings in recent history.

The AR-15 style rifle was engineered to maximize its kill rate by raking enemy soldiers with high-velocity rounds. The original designers explained that the speed of the impact causes the bullet to tumble after it penetrates tissue. The result: Catastrophic injuries.

“We were treating destructive wounds and what that means is that there were large areas of tissue missing from the body,” said Dr. Lillian Liao, pediatric trauma medical director at University Hospital in San Antonio, which treated three children from Uvalde. “They required emergency surgery because there was significant blood loss.”

It was hard knowing many victims were likely already dead by the time police killed the shooter.

“When we’re dealing with high-velocity firearm injuries, we may not get a whole lot of patients,” she said, wiping away tears. “I think that’s what has hit us the most. Not the patients that we did receive and we are honored to treat … but the patients that we did not receive.”

A grieving dad has but one question

Mourners on Friday attend a memorial for victims of the attack on the school.

In all, 80 minutes elapsed between the time officers were first called at 11:30 a.m. to the moment a federal tactical team entered locked classrooms and killed the gunman at 12:50 p.m.

To Miah, the 11-year-old survivor, it felt like three hours. She was there on the classroom floor covered in the blood of a classmate.

At 12:43 p.m. and again four minutes later a girl in the school called 911.

“Please send the police now,” she implored. It’s unclear if that was Miah on the line.

'Somebody was wrong.' Texas shooting victim's father demands accountability over police delays at school

After waiting about 35 minutes outside the classroom, a US Border Patrol tactical team used a key to open a door. They had been at the school since 12:15 p.m. The teenage gunman kicked open the door of a classroom closet and opened fire, said a source familiar with the situation.

One agent held a shield. At least two others behind him engaged the shooter.

“It’s going to haunt them forever,” the source said, referring to the agents who responded and what they saw at the scene.

The siege was over.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott had earlier in the week praised the “amazing courage” of the responding officers. On Friday he was in Uvalde for a news conference announcing state aid for the families affected by the shooting.

Abbott, who had canceled his appearance that day at the National Rifle Association convention 280 miles away in Houston, said he was “absolutely livid” that he was initially “misled” about the police response.

In the chaos outside the school on Tuesday, Angel Garza, the med aide, came upon a little girl who was covered in blood. She was crying. Her best friend had been killed.

Amerie Jo Garza, 10, eiyh her stepfather, Angel Garza.

Angel Garza asked her the name of the dead girl. It was his stepdaughter, Amerie Jo. That’s how he learned Amerie was gone.

Amerie’s biological father, Alfred Garza, was also outside the school as the massacre unfolded.

Days later, as gun enthusiasts and politicians gathered at the NRA convention and the governor questioned the actions of law enforcement, the grieving father had one question.

“Who’s going to pay for this?” Alfred Garza said.

Members present: Jennifer Benson, Jim Johnson, Robin Nelson, Nikkie Gullickson, Rebecca Knutson, Tracie Newman, Seth Holden, Brian Nelson, David Paulson Members absent: none Vice President Robin Nelson called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. She was leading the meeting for President Knutson as President Knutson was not able to virtually join the meeting with her video on but would join via phone. The next Board meeting is planned to be in person as the Board Room at the District Office will by then have the audio-visual equipment installed. Jim Johnson moved approval of the agenda with the addition of an HR Addendum added to 5.B. Tracie Newman seconded the motion. The agenda was approved as presented (Yes: Benson, Gullickson, Holden, Johnson, Knutson, Nelson, B., Nelson, R., Newman, Paulson). Five citizens addressed the Board. Matt Kosak shared concerns about the disinformation being shared at Board meetings during the public comment period and about comments made by Board member Brian Nelson during the November 9 Board meeting on masking. Kristin Sharbono, parent in the Carl Ben Eielson Middle School and South High School attendance area, asked for a response at the November 9 meeting but has not received one. She requested a written response on what was used to determine a mask mandate was needed during instructional time, why it was needed in schools but not in the District Office, and who from Fargo Cass Public Health is meeting with the District. She asked to be informed of when the District is meeting with Fargo Cass Public Health. She asked for a written response on what is being done on staff morale. Vice President Robin Nelson indicated a response was sent to her from the last Board meeting. Jake Schmitz, a parent of two students in the Fargo Public Schools, asked for a written response on who from Fargo Cass Public School is giving recommendations to Dr. Gandhi, what has changed to remove the mask mandate in January, and why is there still a mask mandate for middle and high schools. Cassie Schmidt, with Let Parents Decide That, commended the previous speakers for their comments. She asked for a public response to all the questions asked as stake holders wants those questions. She shared concerns on Board member Brian Nelson’s comments at the November 9 Board meeting on his work as a superintendent in other school districts and concerns on the ESSER plan in Rosholt, ND. She called for Mr. Nelson to resign his position on the Fargo School Board. She indicated that the North Dakota Century Code provided to her in the response to her November 9 questions does not give the authority to the Board to have a mask mandate in schools. Alexis Scott shared concerns on public comment via Zoom teleconferencing and public commenters not being able to be seen on video. She also shared concerns on academic achievement results for diverse students. She also encouraged parents to assist in schools and support teachers. Dr. Patty Cummings, director of special education, shared about the District’s partnership with the University of Minnesota focusing on the special education department. Kim Gibbons of the University of Minnesota provided an overview of the comprehensive program evaluation through the university’s Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement of the FPS special education program. She shared the findings of their evaluation that focused on programming, staffing and infrastructure, and student outcomes. The evaluation included a literature review, focus groups and interviews, staff surveys and a data review. Discussion occurred. It was noted the findings should be looked at for a 3-5 year period and not worked on all at once. The UofM team is working with the District on an implementation plan. FEA President Kim Belgarde shared that during American Education Week the FEA raised $1,000 for the senior high scholarship program. She also shared that the FEA is in favor of reinstating COVID-19 leave for staff members. She welcomes any questions from Board members on the ESSER project Dr. Gandhi will share during his report. Ms. Belgarde shared that the Recess Commission is meeting and will wrap in January, and the Salary Commission has also started meeting. Dr. Gandhi shared a presentation on a project using ESSER funds the District is receiving. The presentation was provided earlier in the day to the Planning Committee; Dr. Gandhi was asked to present it to the full Board. The name of the project is “All For One, One For All.” This project will improve instruction for all students in the Fargo Public Schools and help address critical shortage areas of employment that specifically impact students falling behind by creating a larger pool of internal candidates that can fill the identified critical shortage areas. The project would be to support teachers to receive an additional teaching endorsement and training specific to students with diverse needs. This would improve self-efficacy and instructional practice of all educators by providing each educator with additional tools that can be used to meet the needs of all students. Teachers could receive professional development and an endorsement in special education (special education LD or special education ED) and or in English learners. The project is optional for teachers to participate. Staff members who hold a ND Educator License eligible to receive the additional endorsements approved in this program will receive a one-time payment of $6,000 if they obtain the approved additional endorsement and proof of receiving the additional endorsement is submitted to the FPS HR Department prior to July 29, 2022 with employees receiving a one-time payment of $6,000 on their September paycheck in 2022-23 school year. A second opportunity would be available in the following school year. Employees will not receive compensation for more than one additional endorsement each year. Employees may obtain two additional endorsements for a total additional endorsement of $12,000. FPS will pay for the application fee to ESPB (one time per endorsement) and pay for the Praxis exam fee (one time per endorsement). FPS will also pay instructional staff up to five days of Professional Development at the employee’s daily rate of pay; the dates in 2022 would be scheduled for May 31-June 2 after the school year has ended. Two professional development opportunities would be held in 2023. If participation is low in the program, FPS will then use ESSER funds for previously planned projects. After receiving the endorsement and compensation, the employee is under no commitment to FPS (beyond the annual contract currently in). Staff members will not necessarily be reassigned or required to teach in the new endorsement area. Administration is looking to update administrative policy with this provision for this specific project. Discussion occurred. It was reiterated that the program would be voluntary for participation. Per a request from Jennifer Benson, Dr. Gandhi shared on the Be Legendary Institute, a Board member training program, being offered by ND Department of Public Instruction and how it relates to the Board’s current policy governance model. This topic was also discussed at a recent Governance Committee meeting. Discussion occurred. The deadline to apply for the institute, which costs would be partially covered by ND DPI, is November 30. Tracie Newman moved approval of the Consent Agenda with the HR addendum. Nikkie Gullickson seconded the motion which passed (Yes: Benson, Gullickson, Knutson, Nelson, B., Nelson, R., Newman, Paulson; Absent: Holden, Johnson) thereby causing the following actions to be taken: A. The minutes of the regular meeting of November 9 were approved as written. B. The following Human Resources actions were approved: 1.

The following financial reports were approved: 1. The Fund Balance Report for October 2. The Revenue and Expenditure Reports for October 3. Statement of Bank Reconciliation for October 4. Check register for October Dr. Gandhi shared he was asked by the Governance Committee to share what was previously shared in the Superintendent Report in the Business Section of the agenda. Dr. Gandhi provided an update on COVID-19 positive case data. He shared data of positive cases by school week for the school year and in comparison to the 2020-21 school year, and shared mask exemption, vaccination exemption, and COVID-19 testing program data that allowed students to stay in school due to a COVID-19 close contact. Recently, FPS received updated guidance from Fargo Cass Public Health. As of January 17, FPS will change to a strongly recommended stance on masks in buildings during instructional hours. Per follow up conversations with the ND Department of Health, the district will also change to quarantining being optional for close contacts at that time. Notification to families for positive cases will also change and contact tracing as it is currently conducted will end. Discussion occurred. Jennifer Benson moved the Board of Education end the mask mandate as well as the quarantine mandate for Fargo Public Schools and leave it as a recommendation. David Paulson seconded the motion. Discussion occurred. Upon call of the roll, the motion failed (Yes: Benson, Paulson; No: Gullickson, Knutson, Nelson, B., Nelson, R., Newman; Absent: Holden, Johnson). Due to time, Board Reports were forwarded to the next meeting agenda. The next regular meeting was confirmed for Tuesday, December 14 at 5:30 p.m. There being no further business to come before the Board, Vice President Nelson declared the meeting adjourned at 8:36 p.m. OCTOBER 2021 PAYMENTS MADE 702 COMMUNICATIONS $ 4,631.96 ; A & R ROOFING CO $ 554.00 ; A.S.P.
