A grandmother in Uvalde, Texas, has recounted the terrifying moments her grandchildren escaped a deadly school shooting that claimed 21 lives on May 24. Noelia Morales, whose family survived the attack, described the chaos as an 18-year-old gunman targeted Robb Elementary School after shooting his grandmother.
‘They Ran Like the Wind’ 🌪️
Morales revealed that her grandchildren, like many others, fled the scene in panic as the shooter fired indiscriminately. ‘I still hear their screams,’ she said, praising teachers and first responders who shielded students during the attack. The tragedy has reignited debates about gun control in the U.S., with locals demanding urgent reforms.

Uvalde residents, survivors, and victims’ families are now vocal advocates for stricter gun laws. ‘We can’t let this keep happening,’ said one parent at a vigil. The shooting—one of over 200 mass shootings in the U.S. this year—highlights the nation’s struggle to address gun violence despite widespread public outrage.
