Imagine laying in room full of dead kids you knew and loved for 77 minutes. Not being able to move and wounded yourself. It's unimaginable but it's happening.
💔
@@gloriasilence from what I understand is a classroom with a shared door kinda like a “jack and Jill “ in one classroom were the 2 female teachers and in the other was this male teacher.
@Luis Cabrerra , 3 teachers total, 2 female teachers were in one classroom, the male teacher was in the other classroom that had 11 students. I suspect the extra teacher goes between both classrooms to assist both teachers (when needed) as the classrooms are connected by a door in the middle. He shot the male teacher first and the 11 students before going to the other classroom to shoot some more. However, If I recall based on one of the children who survived, the shooter initially came through the other classroom and shot the two female teachers and a few of the students before going to the other classroom (so piecing it together, he then shot the male teacher, the children in that classroom and then returned to the first classroom he initially entered with the two female teachers). Tragic. Smh
Suggest Something Helpful .
Each Life Is Precious 😉🙏
Some bleeding and choking on their blood to death while police stood around and did nothing.
Poor teacher is absolutely shattered. I hope he is surrounded with love and I hope he seeks help. Losing your class would be horrendous.
Feeling so sorry for the teacher .11 students in his classroom n all are dead.😭😭my deepest condolences to those families who lost their loved ones.pray to god to give them strength to bear this unimaginable pain they are going through🙏
@@d.ch.e This person can feel sorry for the teacher that witnessed this and feel awful for the children and their families.
I am an Indian but I love America also .it’s painful to hear all such news.😭😭😭why such things are happening😭😭
@@d.ch.e Republicans say teachers need guns?..wth is wrong with people. What's needed are these companies that make these riffles and magazines to stop selling them ..only yo the Army. Not to civilians.. is that not an easy thing to do?..this whole rt to bare arms..okay. hand guns..not bloody assault weapons. My God folks
It's a situation with no winners. Just heartbreak all round. 💔
The children were terrorized and the police did nothing. This is unbearable
These officers not going in regardless of what they were told to do, knowing these children were in there being murdered is unbelievable. They are F-ing cowards and the children paid for it with their lives.
I can’t even my thoughts into words. The only people the were able to protect and serve that day were themselves
NRA will be glad..it shows how effective their guns to children
@@lucikazmar13 It's effected me also. Poor kids counting on these cowards. It's incredibly sad to think they were waiting on them. However they rather talk to the killer through the door. Someone, anyone, please hold all of them ACCOUNTABLE. This was so absolutely unfair to these children. They're dead. Just because they refused to engage him. And about the key, how ridiculous. Kick the damn door down, my goodness there were 19 officers and not one helped.😥
I blame both the school and the police
To just see 11 of HIS BABIES get murdered while he’s also been shot and is bleeding out and cannot help them to have to ALSO play dead for 77 MINUTES?!?! Are you kidding me?! It keeps getting worse this case literally messed me up! I can’t imagine 😢😢😢
Don't forget the teacher left the door open- To the outside?.
@@heavymetalmadness9283 the door closed, it’s supposed to automatically lock but that didn’t happen. A bunch of unfortunate events happened to these poor people
@@heavymetalmadness9283 No teacher left the door open. It is just really easy for people to blame one person. You are contributing to a big problem by not following up on developments on an situation like this. It has them on camera closing the door. "Don't forget" to look into all the facts before you open your mouth and start blaming the wrong party.
My god 💔
@@heavymetalmadness9283 That was debunked almost immediately. The cops have lied over and over. Stop being such an easy mark for deception when the facts have been revealed. It’s pathetic.
This was painful to watch. You're looking at a shattered man who will probably never teach again. He was in the safest of environments teaching innocent children, and in the span of an hour he had to sit by helplessly as across the hall 9- and 10-year-old kids were pleading for help and no one had the courage to rush the scrawny unhinged teenager with the AR-15.
No one, these police officers need to be held accountable. They went thru the active shooter training and didn't do what they were trained to do.
Training was defective.
It scared cops real bad... frozen...
If you are scared in situations like this ...you need to put the badge down. We do not need cowards . All the children and teachers that died. How can they live with themselves. How can they sleep every night , knowing all the people that died and they did not do nothing. I hope they can live of remorse.
Indeed, this is unbearable
@@sandraaguirre1906 maybe ..
Look
Im going to play devils advocate for a minute.
Suppose they had rushed in ?? Suppose theyd all been killed? ??
Now you mr. @ w his ar15.. and ALL your 19 cops and 1 teacher and 18 kids are boom! Dead.
Now mr ar15... w hus guns n bullets??
Now - who is hoing to stop him from killing 3, 4, or 5 more ckassrooma full of kids + teachers..?????
Who wld be left to save anyone?
At least this way (im not saying it was a good way) they had him pinned down - see?
And maybe that was the best anyone cld do
This enrages me so much. The police were there and left the kids to die? Police chief refusing to cooperate and still has his job? What’s happening is madness.
He was also sworn into office in a private ceremony
Seems like they bribed the victims with millions from unknown sources people are selling shirts mugs and stickers attempting to profit 📈 from this tragedy instead of speaking up and demanding answers and justice to prevent this from ever happening again we need answers from the head chief police department &all agents involved speak up this is ridiculous seems like they orchestrated this and for sure let it happen to profit from it no wonder we have so many shootings this is a "racket /domestic terrorism and should be treated as 1 and hold all parties envolved responsible this will only get worse or continue!!!! never ending story $$is the root of all evil I'm no conspiracy theorists but the world is watching all this unfold and happening in full hd
And the DOJ is not doing anything either. Keep the heat on this department. The public especially the parents demand answers. And officers should be arrested let lone fired! It’s your job!
Oh shut up!
Learn the facts!
PETE didn’t allow officers to ENTER!
The police are a glorified street gang. Why would a gang protect children?q
PROTECT this dear man at all costs. He is the only surviving adult from that room. It will be easy for those in charge to dismiss children’s accounts-but not a grown man who understands what was happening.
He has the years of knowledge & contextual understanding of details, which will be integral as he bears witness to this horrific mass murder.
Yes 👍!!!!! This man MUST BE PROTECTED!!!!!!
I pray he gets immediate therapy and RETURNS TO TEACH FULLY RECOVERED WITH HIS OWN PRIVATE LITTLE SCHOOL HOUSE 🏠 and teaches 11 Students at a time THE REAL UNIVERSITY OF LIFE TEACHINGS!!!!!!
Not all the bullshit crap these teachers have to teach with no real application for LIVING LIFE
AMEN🙏🙏🙏
What? You think they’re going to hurt him for speaking?
@@Lo-Life yes. Apparently parents are being threatened to keep quiet.
The police chief should be fired,that’s absolutely ridiculous.They came in there,yet retreated while kids lives were at risk,do your jobs people!
Should be in prison****
He got sworn into city council in private just a few days ago. Those cops are going to get away with this like nothing happened.

@@LAM77719 typical small town Texas politics
What really shows how the police weren't doing 'their job' is how the kids who barely knew what was going on were pleading to the police for any sort of help.
That’s the saddest part, that they thought calling 911 would save them. Little did they know the police were already there just unwilling to help.
@@epicgamer8117 It's infuriating man, especially with how many unit's were dispatched at the time
breaks my heart to know that one of the victims yelled out to police out in the hallway for help and the shooter killed him.

Such a hypocrisy that the police chief and cops on the scene haven’t been charged and jailed! A private citizen would’ve been charged and placed in custody for failing to render aid. They would be charged as an accomplice along with aiding and abetting by the same corrupt DA protecting these spineless bastards. The system is broken and needs a complete overhaul!
Protecting their own crooks.

Unbelievable. I know there’s so much to talk about. Teachers don’t get paid enough for what they go through…if it’s violence, reporting child abuse, disciplining children, caregiving and sometimes paying out of their own wallets for supplies for students!
Not at all they don’t make enough they bearly have a livable wage

“officer we’re in here” “but they had already left” WOW. And what’s even worse, they attempt to plead with the guy to get him out safely. Unless police are leaving out a key detail, it’s pathetic. All because of one sick fu*k who can’t handle adversity and hurts younger, innocent children.
Well said! Cowards!!!!
Exactly that part about 3 mins into where a guy is yelling at the police that the little kids in there cant defend themselves.... $#^^÷%%%#&*÷ Their supposed to be trained in this, the school kids had prior active shooter training. Wtf Prayers to Arnulfo, all of these angels in God's arms, the families involved, and the changes we needp!!!
When the call for help went out, the police responded and did an exemplary job of protecting and serving.
Only problem is they were protecting and serving themselves while using the students and teachers as human shields. Dispicable.
Exactly
100 % 3:00 mins into that guy YELLING at police about the "little kids inside that can't defend themselves" broke me was already enough for anyone one of them to step up...
How are these officers still on the job??? How can anyone trust these people ever again!! It’s disgusting the way they cowardly let these kids there to die. Now they just covered up everything.
I'm literally still in tears!! The cops got these Kids.. these babies Killed ..like wtf!?? 😢😢😭
So true 😭 they acted like cowards...
They'll probably get promoted. Sick system.
@Zac's DIY Guns The police were supposed to help. They didn't. Useless pieces of garbage.
@Zac's DIY Guns You are something else
I would’ve lost my job/got fired either from going in there against “police” orders or from letting parents go in there to get their kids. I can always find another job, nothing is more priceless than a life !
Facts
Bone chilling. I can’t with this story. The police failed everyone
Very true.
And they are all still on the job
One would think there should be some rule: If a police officer doesn't step up and fight in an active shooter situation, they should be fired immediately without pay and replaced.
Perhaps Republicans could get behind that one? Since they can't get behind any sort of common-sense firearm reform.
My god!! Imagine the children that survived being trapped in the classroom with him for 77 minutes. Uvalde police need to go to jail for dereliction of duty or something. They need charges
It says they all died which is worse 💔
Simone needs to hold those 19 officers who stood around waiting in the hallway, including Pete Arrendondo who told the personnel to stand down, accountable or fire them. It’s just beyond imagination that they just stood there doing nothing while kids were calling 911 and getting shot.
Yes all the kids in his class died 😔
So the students who were alive in the class was stuck with the shooter inside with them? How shameful that those officers were so damn senseless that they didn’t even shoot the windows or break them to free those children. Instead, they had a doughnut meeting in the hallway
Can you imagine those who were shot but couldn’t get help for over 1 hour that then died 😢🥺😖 and those kids watching them in horror!!!
Can you even imagine what a parent must have gone through having to deal with a police officer stand in your way, blocking you from saving your own Child's life? OH MY GOD!! It flies in the face of a parent's instincts to save their child, especially when the police who we pay f**king BIG BUCKS to save the lives of victims!!?? I'm a military veteran, and that's the big difference between a military service member and a police officer anymore......COURAGE!! It certainly seems more and more difficult to find police that aren't in more fear of their own safety, and forget their job is to help ENSURE the safety of others!!?? If they don't want the risk, why should we pay them the benefits and retirement that is due those performing such service? God knows, for the 12yrs I was in the military (I'm 70% service connected disabled) I don't recall big paychecks, or coming home to my family every night. I remember lots of 12on/12off and standing duty every 4 days, along with the full time job. Sleeping and eating when you can, where you can. What the heck??????
Thank you so much for your courageous service and the effects of your service.
They would be held accountable for the parents deaths.. they were doing their job, but its not easy with no equipment for breaching let alone, accidentally injuring or hitting innocent kids
Thanks for your service, but did you go to any war or did you just report to a local base here in the US? Many serve as reserve and label themselves vets, I recall when you actually earned the vet status by actually being in the war
Derek-
Maybe this has a motive behind it ofbmaking ppl distrust and hate cops ??
The thin blue line between anarchy- civilisation?
Just got much thinner, after this shooting.
Didn't it?
Maybe that accomplished what ho. Is trying to do...
Think on that...
Before uou rip on the coos.
Can you say? "SET UP??"
@@SA-gh3fr Tacky, tacky
The police officers should be held accountable for their actions, they failed in doing their job, even after they went through the active shooter training. You can tell this is very heart breaking for the teacher to even speak about, he sounds like he is about to break down. This is not ACCEPTABLE, for how this whole situation was handle by the police officers. It is a blessing that the teacher lived and also so that he can tell what actually happen in the classroom, he is the only adult who can really explain what happen in the classrooms.
Idk if u know legaleagal yt channel but they did a story on this and long story short they (the police) are not here to protect the private citizens only state
Blame qualified immunity 😘
Ethics aside, the police had no legal obligation to go into that building. They can't be held liable for anything because they didn't break the law. I'm not saying they did the right thing, but what they did was legal, and there won't be legal ramifications for that.
@@Bookwasbetter Could The Families Sue The Police Department?
All of the officers are wrong ,kids couldn't do anything ,should hold all the cop's accountable for what they did and that was nothing for the school
They could have saved lives had they not retreated. I can't imagine the fear they eye experiencing... No child, let alone any human should have to go through something so absolutely terrifying. These families are forever shattered in a way they will never ever be able to repair. My heart aches for every single one of these children and teachers who were taken, n for their families. The pain they feel is insurmountable . May God shed peace and on these families and all affected in this. This is a fucked up world. It's not right.

Can you imagine being a teacher, forming a relationship with those kids throughout the year and then seeing all of them get brutally killed right before your eyes just days before the school year is over. Never seeing those kids you taught and nurtured all year long ever again. So incredibly heartbreaking…. This is going to be something that he’ll probably never get over.
I bet he has survivors guilt. Smh very painful to watch. You can hear the pain in his voice, sound’s like he’s about to break down. If i was one the officer’s, I couldn’t even look myself in the mirror. As a mother of a 7 year old, i just couldn’t even imagine 😣😖 Praying for healing ❤️🩹 for this community. Rest in Peace to all the innocent lives lost 🙏🏾
Question What is survivors guilt?!
I Bet he is sad, but blessed he survived so he can share what happened that day.

lol wait till next week. There will be another shooting and there will be nothing left of your pathetic little heart lol.

This man will have ptsd for the rest of his life. As he heels from his wounds and process each of those babies lives that he watched, heard and witnessed get taken, I hope he gets the best help to help him through it. Sending the biggest hug to him and all the survivors and community of this nightmare. Those gone are now angels, it's the ones left here that will have to relive the nightmare, including those poor parents that begged and pleaded that will be in living hell. All the first responding officers and those that coward inside must be fired immediately.
What I find sad is many Americans continue to think that it is all right for civilians to own assault weapons, weapons of war.
They are literally sick in their brains, and allowed to run around and vote.
Officers should be held accountable all of them that had a chance to save all those lives!
Of course. Poor kids
so sad. and the teacher
waiting for help.

Just watching him speak and also another video of a child, Kendall, brings tears to my eyes.
The trauma the survivors will go through the remainder of their lives is immense.
This breaks my heart every single time and as a mother I can’t even imagine what those little kids went through. Their last moments, them being afraid and just wanting their parents there 😭😢 and I don’t see any movements! I don’t see anything being done fast enough to make change!!
Thank you for confronting him it was a really tuff move even for trained individuals
This hurts so bad the minute the first 2 officers were hit with gunfire. All the police should have been mad and said bleep that let's get this bastard now these children need our help now. Bunch of cops could of stormed the classroom and take this devil out immediately and end this nightmare. Retired cop 27 years ESU unit. ) would of never taken that long especially when it comes to defenseless children. I know bunch of officers would of disobeyed that order and somehow go inside that classroom and rescue those children and taken that bastard out. And deal with the consequences later. Your job is to preserve life and you know there are children that are wounded and scared. God bless the children teachers and the families
1000% agree. Cause a distraction, go in and neutralize the shooter using any means necessary.
You can tell this man loved his students. Excited to give out awards to those that hadn't received any all year. That's the kind of person you want in the classroom. I'm so sorry, Mr. Reyes
I am so mad with the local law enforcement not rushing in. It is sickening.
God bless this hero ❤️
I feel so heart sick for all the teachers and Students at Robb Elementary School and know that ur all in my thoughts and prayers !
This is heartbreaking 💔. I cannot even imagine the pain and anguish he is feeling.
What is absolutely chilling is to hear those parents outside on the grass yelling and telling the police that there’s little kids little children inside and then just standing there are not doing anything about it is just completely chilling
So so terrifying and sad for those parents
Yes yes i agree
That's the part that enrages me. Not only did the cowards not help, they actively made the situation worse, keeping help from entering while 9 year olds bled out and took their last breath.
But this type of policing isn't unique to Uvalde, this is just how it works in the US. Police have no duty to help.
When 1 bad guy outgunned 19 good guy with a gun, you got one serious problem America.
So heartbreaking. I have no words 💔
This poor man will never ever forget this for the rest of his life. 😢💕
Normally I'm Against Defunding The Police, But This Department Should Lose At Least Some Of It's Funding If It's Gonna Act This Cowardly During A Crisis Like This.
In all honesty, this is a terribly clear example of what is meant by “defund the police”. It’s so common, in all kinds of violent crimes, for the police to have absolutely no affect whatsoever on whatever crime it is.
In general, I too am not for defunding the police. But in this case I'm all for de-policing the funds. The funds didn't do anything wrong - the police did. In other words, fire those cowardly badge-wearing, gun-toting donut eaters.
The police needs to do what the FBI did and have a reformation and kick out corruption, a lot of these cops shouldn’t be cops, and a lot of these cops are too mentally coward it makes them unstable when it comes to handling situations. Don’t even get started on some of the top representatives for police in the blue states, they always sound like a robot reading off a paper with no real clue to be empathetic and understand the situation in their city and combat it.
Unfortunately our law enforcement. Is just to enforce laws not protect us.
Uvalde PD is one of the districts in TX that was part of a $23 million dollar grant a few years ago, including Body Armor that is Level 4! Make sure people know. This is on their very own fb page. You may have seen the screencap.
None of those children who called 911 survived????? My heart hurts💔😭
If I understand this correctly, it seems that all 11 of Reyes's students in Room 111 were murdered, and he only survived because he was incapacitated by the shooter early on in the massacre, so the shooter forgot about him and moved on to Room 112 once the kids were taken care of. That's how I interpreted this.
4 survived but 19 did not

This is so heart breaking. I was a high school teacher and now I sub at various schools. I always make sure that my classroom door is locked and can only be opened from the inside. I always check before opening the door for anyone. I am not sure why the gunman was able to walk in and out of these classrooms so easily. I have been through several lockdowns and I know how terrifying is for the students.

I’m sorry for what you teachers have to put up with. In addition to being educators, you’re also expected to be baby sitters, and now according to some idiots in these comments sections, you also need to be trained, armed bodyguards who need to do what the police can’t even seem to do.

You can hear his voice shaking 💔 I can’t imagine the anger and pain. Breaks my heart to think of those parents outside just waiting in desperation for the police to do something.
I’m si sorry for that teacher he saw his students get killed. I work at a school and I love our kids I can’t imagine that happening to us so sad
this is so heartbreaking to watch and listen😭😭😭
How heartbreaking, teacher I'm so sorry 😔 I'm so Speechless....🙏🕊️❤️
Too sad for words. God Bless these precious babies..
This makes me so angry. Teacher's should not be armed in order to protect their kids. Teachers are there to teach, period. We have failed miserably as a country. GET RID OF ALL ASSAULT RIFLES. This should not be a discussions. They are made for war, not for our streets. The fact that Republicans refuse to even consider this is pathetic and a clear sign that they are not interested in protecting us.
My very thought
Even if he was armed, a Saturday night special against an AR-15. He’s horribly out gunned.
This is what nightmares are made of, sadly it is real and not a dream.💔
Hugs and speedy recovery to you, Mr Reyes. You did everything you possibly could.
As an elementary school teacher, I cannot imagine the pain that he is going through.
Imagine a criminal armed with an assault rifle killing children, and all the police wanted to do is “talk to him.” And unarmed Black men shot for no reason.
obviously he was gonna go to jail.. they were tryna use that as an excuse so he can stop what hes doing which he refused and got killed to dead
No help was ever coming... That is not ok.
This is sooo very sad and heartbreaking! Where they gonna let him kill the whole school !? Disgusting length of time to let the killer have his way !!! 😡
Absolutely heartbreaking. While I am happy he survived, he is going to be overwhelmed with so much guilt as none of his 11 students survived. So terrible all around. Sending love to him and everyone else in Ulvade.
I'm a 35 yr old grown man...I got tears coming down my face, still.
Poor babies… I can’t imagine having to tell all your students to pretend your asleep and now they’re eternally sleeping 💔 RIP to all those little angels and sending healing energy to the teacher who had to witness that horrific mass murder.
It is mind blowing who in their mind says that?? Wow! Asking a gunman oh come outside. We won’t hurt you. Are you kidding me. ??! Wow!! “Tactical “
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I will repeat it until it's heard: SMALL TOWNS ARE CORRUPT, STATES NEED TO DO SOMETHING OR PEOPLE NEED TO MOVE
What does corruption have to do with this? A corrupt police will freely do as they please without any worry of consequence. That is why chief arredondo cowardly hid outside the school because he was UNDER DO DUTY to protect those kids. As no one is above him telling him to.
He was recently sworn in my town officials are a board member or whatever. AFTER his error at Robb. You see? He hid like a coward because he knew NO ONE in Uvalde will hold him accountable. I grew up in a small town where the mayor STARVED a horse nearly to DEATH. Officials still elected him as mayor a second time. People in small town don't have a say only people with connections. Oh yeah the police in the town I grew up are so UNBOTHERED about consequences that they LET A MURDERER WALK FREE "on accident". If that doesn't scream "I don't give a F about my law enforcement duties because no one will hold me responsible anyways" idk what does.
Forgive my sloppy written, and somewhat aggressive tangent, but I am so DESPERATE for people to hear this. There is REAL EVIL that lives in small towns.
I mean they were tryna stop him somehow
Them kids little baby's don't know the generation were living in its so sad gah damn nobody in that school deserves pain like this... Stay strong Uvalde ❤️🙏
Incredibly heartbreaking. Words cannot express.
"Come on out we wanna talk. " WTF???
NYPD would of never tolerated this nonsense and taken that bastard out in a body bag and rescue those defenseless children. Never would of waited 77 minutes to get that evil devil
@@carlosmoreno2946 exactly
There's nothing to talk about you just murdered innocent defenseless children and teachers. Time to burn in hell. You evil devil
@@sweetyouthxo It saddens me they allowed this monster to enjoy this horrible tragedy for over a hour. NYPD has it problems but push comes to shove, reality and real life situations occur especially when it comes to children. They would of never let that bastard enjoy what he did for 77minutes. Game over go meet your maker and try to save as many lives as you can and get these innocent children and teachers medical attention immediately. Stay safe everyone and God bless the children teachers and families
Heads need to roll from the top all the way down!! Not all of those babies had to die, not all of those parents should be holding funerals for their children. Lives could and should have been saved. I'm not religious, but I hope something is looking after those babies and their families
Complaining & Anger , Any Suggestions Like POLICE ALL WEAR BULLET PROOF BODY SHIELDS TO GO IN ON THESE SHOOTERS .
They are in a better place, for sure. Better than a place like Uvalde.
this is just awful i hope this never happens again. sending love from Australia
I’m still thinking about this poor man. I hope he is doing well and healing along with the rest of the community ✝️
Police officers act all tough until they realize it's a shooter
I believe whole heartedly that those children that had passed are in a better place including the teachers . The teachers are heroes for protecting their students in their final moments. This teacher is the prime example is why we should do better for teachers. I can just see the pain is his eyes just from watching this.
My heart breaks for these little angels who saw this monster come for them and knew no one was coming to save them. I pray that they are now in peace and will one day see their loved ones again. ❤️
📢😔😢 I get so damn angry n then overwhelmed by wit sadness n grief when I hear different accounts of the tragedy with those babies....smh😔😔😔😔😔 ...📢DAMN IT!😢. My deepest n most sincere condolences to the families 🙏
It is still extremely hard to believe that police stood outside, negotiating with the gunman while children bleed to death just steps away?! Just grotesque!!!
Now you know why people value their personal firearms.
Cowards should be sacked the lot of them and they should never ever be able to work in the police or any form of secruity again you dont makes these fatal mistakes when you are a cop.
I mean they had to try stop the gunman somehow..
@@yazminecaraballo8863did they try to shoot through the walls?
Law enforcements excuse they thought it was a hostage situation is clearly a fabrication. How can they stick by that lie when the 911 call PROVE different. Despicable. Those officers need severe jail time
They either figured hed kill all the kids or didnt want to get killed to do their job. Awful. Disgrace
I remember the day this happened, and while this was happening I was literally eating lunch. My prayers go out to everyone and their families
Thank you for sharing and being there for the kids...
77 minutes pretending to be dead ?? Omg what nightmare they must have gone through. Even thinking about it makes me feel sick. So heart wrenching.
Heartbreaking... We need to do something.
This is so heartbreaking!!!
It's hard to hear this! 😢😭😭😭God help us all.
