Miah Cerrillo, 11, survived the Texas school massacre and is struggling to cope with the loss of her teacher and friends in the tragic shooting last Tuesday.
Her aunt Blanca Rivera said that the little girl witnessed the shooting death of her teacher and her classmates.
“Miah saw her friend full of blood, he took blood out of it and put it on top,” Rivera said, explaining that his niece had to activate the survival mode to get out of the shooting alive, according to the media Click 2 Houston.
The girl was also injured, but has since been released from the hospital.
“ My brother said he had bullet fragments in the back”, said Rivera.

The aunt told KPRC that Miah seemed fine until she got home Tuesday night.
“Around the midnight, my sister-in-law called me crying like. She told me ‘I think this whole thing just hit Miah. I think everything came true. We’re home, and she’s crying and having panic attacks‘,” Rivera said.
He added that now the family’s job is to accompany Miah physically, emotionally and spiritually.
“Right now, we just have to pray and ask God to help us through this situation. I know it’s traumatizing and for an 11-year-old girl to go through this, I can’t imagine what she’s feeling,” Rivera said.
Another fourth grader also explained how he survived the Texas school shooting. According to The Sun, he hid when the shooter burst in and said: “It’s time to die”.

The young man said he and several of his friends ran away under a table with a tablecloth as cover.
“When I heard the shots through the door, I told my friend to hide under something so he wouldn’t find us,” stated KENS 5.
