UVALDE, May 29 — Fresh harrowing accounts emerged yesterday of the ordeal faced by survivors of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, fanning public fury over the massacre ahead of a visit by US President Joe Biden.

Uvalde survivors have described making desperate, whispered pleas for help in 911 phone calls during his assault. Some played dead to avoid drawing the shooter’s attention. The bullets were “hot,” he told The Washington Post, and when another bullet ricocheted and struck a fellow student in the nose, he said he could hear the sickening sound it made.

Local resident Humberto Renovato, 33, asked those present to hold hands, form a circle around the crosses, and pray.President Joe Biden will visit Uvalde today to again make the case for gun control, as activists set about galvanizing voters on the issue in the run-up to November’s midterm election. “We will not let those people who are motivated by hate to separate us or make us feel fear,” Harris said at the funeral for the 86-year-old.“Congress must have the courage to stand up, once and for all, to the gun lobby and pass reasonable gun safety laws,” Harris tweeted.
