Amerie Jo Garza was killed by suspected gunman Salvador Ramos while trying to call 911 during a massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.

UVALDE, Texas -- Med aide Angel Garza rushed to Robb Elementary School on Tuesday and arrived as officials started escorting shell-shocked children from the classrooms.

"She's been wanting a phone for so long and we finally got it for her. She was just trying to call authorities, and I guess he just shot her," Garza said, cradling a photo of Amerie taken when she made honor roll at school. Amerie was scared of strangers -- and would hurry to lock the door when her father stepped out to pump gas.She was a big sister to a 3-year-old brother who's been asking for her every morning, but does not fully understand why he'll never see her again.

The 18-year-old shooter was in a standoff with authorities for about a half hour before officers breached the classroom and killed him, said US Rep. Tony Gonzales, whose district includes Uvalde.

'Suspected gunman?' What are you AFRAID of?

He probably should have yelled out a window, seeing as how the parking lot was full of cops doing nothing. Except handcuffing parents.

'I am going to shoot an elementary school', Uvalde suspect posted on Facebook before shootingNEW - The Uvalde shooting suspect posted on Facebook 30 minutes before the massacre, according to Governor Abbott. The Facebook posts were the only forewarning of the tragedy, according to Abbott, who added the gunman had no history of mental illness. But according to the Star Tribune… he did have mental illness. In fact the governor was told about this too. This is inaccurate. They were private messages not posts.

Shooters overthink & dwell on a wrong,collect more wrongs then find a scapegoat & a rationalization to justify hate & violence. They leak their plans to avoid guilt.Someone hears those leaks but does nothing thinking it's an authorities job.We need to be our Brother's Keeper Nice words, but didn’t have the balls to mention guns or gun control
