00:00Are you ready to tell him?
00:26It is happening again.
00:30It is happening again.
00:37It is happening again.
00:44It is happening again.
00:45It is happening again.
00:46It is happening again.
00:47It is happening again.
00:48It is happening again.
00:49It is happening again.
00:50It is happening again.
00:51It is happening again.
00:52It is happening again.
00:53He was frequently bullied in school because he had a stutter and a lisp.
01:11He was also mocked for his clothing selections and being poor.
01:16His classmates would call him names, including school shooter.
01:20What is that smell?
01:27It smells like something burning!
01:35What is that smell?
01:42What is that smell?
01:44What is that smell?
01:50What is the smell?
02:05What is that smell?
02:09I don't know.
04:39They are known as assault-style weapons and have been used in some of the country's
04:44deadliest shootings.
04:45From Uvalde, Tulsa, and El Paso to Parkland, San Bernardino, and Sandy Hook, the high-powered
04:51assault rifle has been the weapon of choice for many of the killers.
04:55Line is hot.
04:55The Los Angeles Police Department demonstrates an AR-style semi-automatic rifle for us on
05:03the department's gun range.
05:05You have a 16-inch to 20-inch barrel.
05:08You have a stock that is shouldered.
05:10You're going to be accurate at farther distances as opposed to a pistol.
05:14Not to mention, like some other weapons, it can fire a bullet with enough power to pierce
05:19soft body armor, something Sergeant James Zaboravan knows firsthand.
05:23Oh, Jesus.
05:24It's definitely an automatic weapon.
05:26He took assault weapons fire during the now-infamous 1997 North Hollywood shootout, where two bank
05:32robbers wearing body armor fired on police for nearly an hour.
05:35That shooting changed policy, prompting the LAPD and other departments to upgrade their
05:40own weaponry to counter the increasingly powerful guns used by assailants.
05:44That firepower from weapons is studied inside a ballistics lab at Wayne State University,
05:49where researchers simulate a bullet's impact on the human body.
05:53It's a block of 20% gelatin, and it's meant to represent the human tissues, so soft tissues.
05:59Watch as Cynthia Burr's team fires a handgun round at 1,000 feet per second into the gelatin
06:03block.
06:04For this particular round, you'll see the bullet come in on this side.
06:07You see this temporary cavity here happening.
06:09So that expansion is what happens in the body, and then it collapses down.
06:13So that's where your damage comes in.
06:15Now watch as the team fires a round from an assault rifle.
06:18We see a lot more disruption.
06:20This round actually breaks apart.
06:22It doesn't exit, so it's about 3,000 feet per second, and all of that energy goes into
06:27the soft tissue.
06:29We have a piece of plastic here to reflect to do the videos, and it actually lifted the
06:34plastic up off the table with the energy.
06:36An aftermath photo of the handgun round shows a relatively straight line through the tissue,
06:41exiting the other side.
06:42But not so with the round from an AR-15.
06:45It basically goes into the body and creates an explosion inside the body.
06:49Trauma surgeons say the wound from an assault rifle can be catastrophic.
06:53And the worst part is in a child.
06:55All the vital organs are that much closer together, so each of those bullets causes irreversible
07:01damage.
07:01In Uvalde, Texas, families were asked for DNA swaps to help the authorities identify
07:06their children.
07:07As a mom, it really affects me, right?
07:10Because I cannot imagine having a child endure this.
07:14And with high-capacity magazines, suspects can shoot for much longer.
07:20Now, the discussion about high-capacity magazines largely centers on reducing the amount of time
07:25that a suspect can fire without having to reload.
07:28As a former FBI agent, we were trained to quickly get your weapon reloaded and back up
07:32on target.
07:33But for a suspect, for example, who isn't trained, you can see using this training weapon,
07:37that is a process.
07:38It involves removing the empty magazine, obtaining a fresh round of ammunition, loading it into
07:43the weapon, charging the weapon, getting it back up on target.
07:47Those are all precious seconds where victims can be fleeing, the gun can jam, or the suspect
07:52could be engaged by law enforcement or bystanders.
07:56Knowing the damage that sustained firepower can do, researchers hope their critical findings
08:01lead to awareness.
08:02Regardless of where one comes down on the gun control debate, it's indisputable that the
08:06assault weapon causes significant damage inside the body.
08:10Definitely.
08:11But this is the reality.
08:13This is what's happening.
08:17Now, Jake, although the Justice Department says that handguns have been used in most mass
08:21shootings, it's important to note that the deadliest mass shooters have opted for this
08:25AR-15-style weapon.
08:27And you can see why.
08:27That ballistic demonstration there in our story shows you the disastrous impact that this
08:32weapon can have on the human body.
08:34Jake, this weapon that was designed originally for the use by soldiers on the battlefield
08:38is now causing unspeakable carnage here at home.
08:41Jake.
08:42Dr. Campbell, thank you so much.
08:43Appreciate it.
08:44But this is the reality.
08:45This is what's happening.
08:47This is the reality.
08:48This is what's happening.
08:49This is the reality.
08:50This is what's happening.
08:51On May 24th, 2022, Salvador Ramos and his 66-year-old grandmother had an argument over his failure
08:59to graduate from high school at their home in Uvalde, during which he shot her in the face
09:05before taking her black 2008 Ford F-150.
09:09She survived and got help from neighbors.
09:13While police officers were called in, she was then airlifted to a hospital in San Antonio in
09:18critical condition.
09:19Ramos, using his Facebook account, sent three private messages to a 15-year-old girl from
09:25Germany whom he had met online prior to the shooting.
09:29The first to say that he was going to shoot his grandmother.
09:32A second to say he had shot his grandmother.
09:36And a third, about 15 minutes before the shooting, to say that he was going to open fire at an
09:42elementary school.
09:43The girl replied, cool.
09:46Later, she faced trial in Frankfurt, Germany, and was found guilty of failing to report planned
09:52crimes.
09:53She was issued a warning and was required to undergo educational measures.
09:57A spokesperson for Meta, the parent company of Facebook, said the posts were private one-to-one
10:05text messages discovered after the shooting took place.
10:10Ramos crashed his grandmother's truck through a barricade and into a concrete ditch outside
10:16Robb Elementary School at 1128 a.m. CDT and proceeded to scale a fence and enter the school
10:23grounds.
10:24According to police, he wore a tactical vest for carrying ammunition that did not include
10:30ballistic protection or armor insert panels, plus a backpack and all-black clothing, while
10:36carrying an AR-15-style rifle and seven 30-round magazines.
10:42He brought into the school only one of the two rifles that he had legally bought and left
10:47the other in the crashed truck.
10:49A witness said he first fired at two people at a nearby funeral home, both of whom escaped
10:55uninjured.
10:58After hearing of the 911 call, a school resource officer drove to the school's campus and pursued
11:04a teacher, whom the officer erroneously believed to be the gunman, driving past the actual gunman
11:11in the process.
11:13Ramos entered the school through its west-facing entrance door, which had been shut by a teacher
11:19who had seen him.
11:21The entrance door did not lock, despite being designed to be locked when shut.
11:26UCISD's police chief estimated that the shooting began at 11.32, according to a Facebook post
11:34by the school.
11:36The school was placed in lockdown at 11.43 in response to gunshots heard in the vicinity.
11:42A report released on July 6 found that an officer had aimed his rifle at Ramos before he entered
12:09the school, but did not fire because he was awaiting his supervisor's permission.
12:16After entering the building, Ramos walked down two short hallways and then entered a classroom
12:21that was internally connected to another classroom.
12:25All of the fatalities took place in these adjoining classrooms, 111 and 112.
12:30A survivor of the shooting said that, as teacher Irma Garcia attempted to lock the door to the
12:37classroom, he shot the door's window, then backed Garcia into the classroom and said good
12:43night as he shot and killed her.
12:45Another survivor recounted that Ramos said, you're all gonna die after entering the classroom.
12:53He then opened fire on the rest of the students and another teacher in the room.
12:58According to a surviving student, Ramos played sad music during the massacre.
13:04Most of the shooting occurred inside the building within the first few minutes.
13:09Ramos was inside the classroom for over an hour while armed police remained outside the
13:15classroom and building.
13:18Multiple students played dead while the shooting took place, including one student, 11-year-old
13:23Maya Cirillo, who smeared herself at the blood of one of her dead classmates, to give credence to the
13:30subterfuge.
13:32According to a student who hid in the adjoining classroom, Ramos came in and slightly crouched
13:38down, saying, it's time to die, before opening fire.
13:42Afterwards, a responding officer called out, yell if you need help.
13:47A girl in the adjoining classroom said, help.
13:49Ramos heard the girl, entered the classroom, and shot her.
13:54A student said that the officer then barged into the classroom, and Ramos fired at the
14:00officer, causing more officers to return fire.
14:04Arnolfo Reyes, a teacher in classroom 111 who received multiple gunshot wounds, recalled
14:09he instructed his students to, get under the table and act like you're asleep.
14:14Ramos then arrived, and shot him, before firing indiscriminately around classroom 111.
14:21Reyes said he didn't hear talk for a while, but later on, Ramos unleashed a second round
14:27of gunfire at students, and Reyes said if he didn't get them the first time, he got them
14:33the second time.
14:34We need to fucking make sure we got covered, Wayne.
14:40We need to go.
14:41We need to go.
14:42We need to go.
14:43We need to go.
14:44We need to go.
14:45We need to go.
14:46Where?
14:47Where?
14:48Where?
14:49Where?
14:50Where?
14:51Where?
14:52Where?
14:53Where?
14:54Nick, where you want us?
14:55Get cover.
14:56Hold it.
14:57Watch that door.
14:58Watch that door.
14:59The roof way.
15:00There you are.
15:01It's this building!
15:02We need to make sure it's around it!
15:04There's my wife's bathroom.
15:30It's right on the river, on the ground, you don't need to grow.
15:36Come on, guys.
15:39Well, you also need to see a 5-5-5-BS.
15:43I'm sorry.
15:47Can you contact BDS as well?
15:50I'm sure they're aware.
15:52You can help up the area.
15:55This is also at the angle and shield location.
16:10This is where he's in the schools, on the west side of the building.
16:17He's contained.
16:19We got multiple officers inside the building.
16:21I used to believe he's, uh, barricaded in one of the offices.
16:28About something still shooting.
16:32What are you doing?
16:34What are you doing?
16:36What are we doing?
16:38We're definitely going to need some flashbacks if we have any.
16:43I'm sorry.
16:45I'm sorry.
16:46It's going to be locked.
16:48All 11 students in classroom 111 during the shooting died.
16:55Reyes pretended to be unconscious on the floor, but Ramos then shot him again.
17:00According to Reyes, he heard law enforcement approach his classroom from what sounded like the hallway three times, but they did not enter.
17:08During one of these occasions, he heard a student from the adjoining classroom 112 saying, Officer, we're in here. We're in here.
17:16As law enforcement had already left, Reyes said Ramos walked over there and he shot again.
17:24Reyes later heard law enforcement telling Ramos to come out of the classroom to talk, saying they did not want to hurt anyone.
17:31Separately, Reyes said in past security checks, the classroom 111 door that was meant to be locked during lessons remained unlocked because the latch was stuck and that he had told the principal about this issue.
17:45There's children under here.
17:48The children were dead under the table.
17:50There was nothing I could do about it.
18:00There were two houses under the table.
18:06You know, those children were high, but...
18:10Just a point.
18:12So, your children?
18:14Yeah, my children, I didn't want to tell my parents that I'm sorry, I tried my best.
18:44That's what I was told to do, please don't be angry with me.
18:51It all happened too fast.
18:54Training, no training, all kinds of training, nothing sets you ready, get you ready for this.
19:00We trained our kids to sit under the table, and that's what I thought of, you know, at the time.
19:07But we set them up to be like ducks.
19:10You can give us all the training you want, but gun laws have to change.
19:16They never change unless they change the laws.
19:18Reyes says he doesn't think he can ever return to a classroom, but he's making it his mission to honor the lives of his students and two of his fellow teachers.
19:27The only thing that I know that I will not let these children and my coworkers die in vain.
19:37Absolutely, I will not. I will go anywhere to the end of the world to not let my students die in vain.
19:45They didn't deserve this. Nobody in this world deserves this kind of pain.
19:53No mother, nobody deserves this.
19:58I will go to the end of the world to make sure things get changed.
20:06A male student in classroom 109 said that around 15 minutes after the shooting began, the gunman approached classroom 109's door and pulled its handle, but his teacher had jammed the door after hearing gunfire.
20:20The gunman shot through the door's glass window, striking another student and the teacher in classroom 109, then left, with a Texas official stating that the gunman had briefly returned into the hallway after entering classrooms 111 and 112 without specifying what time this occurred.
20:39The Washington Post reported that this is likely when those in room 109 were shot at before the gunman returned to classrooms 111 and 112.
20:49Officers arrived three minutes after Ramos entered the school and approached rooms 111 and 112, but they retreated after Ramos fired at them.
20:58Officers were not successful in establishing negotiations.
21:02The United States Marshal Service deputies drove nearly 70 miles to the school and arrived at 1210 p.m.
21:10At 1217, UCISD sent out a message on Twitter that there was an active shooter at the elementary school.
21:18The school district's police chief, Pedro Arredondo, erroneously determined that the situation had, quote,
21:25transitioned from an active shooter to a barricaded subject, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
21:32With Ramos thought to be contained, officials believed they had bought enough time to bring in tactical units.
21:39According to Uvalde County Judge Bill Mitchell, teacher Ava Morales from inside the adjoining classrooms where the shooter was,
21:47called her husband Ruben Ruiz, a Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District officer who was outside the school.
21:56According to DPS director Steven McCraw, during the call, Morales told Ruiz that she had been shot and was dying.
22:04When Ruiz tried to move forward into the hallway, he was detained by law enforcement, and they took his gun away from him and escorted him off the scene.
22:15What in the fuck?
22:21Ruben, Ruben, Ruben, Ruben.
22:27She said she shot Johnny.
22:30Both guns were shot.
22:33Morales eventually died from her gunshot wounds.
22:37After the police cordoned off the outside of the school, parents pleaded with officers to enter the building
22:44when they did not go, parents offered to enter the building themselves.
22:49Officers held back and tackled parents who tried to enter the school,
22:53further warning that they would use tasers if the parents did not comply with directions.
22:59Video clips of these interactions were uploaded to social media, including one that depicted a parent being pinned to the ground.
23:06Police pepper sprayed a parent trying to get to their child, and an officer tackled the father of another student.
23:15Police reportedly used a taser on a parent who approached a bus to get to their child.
23:20A mother of two students at the school was placed in handcuffs by officers for attempting to enter the school.
23:28When released from the handcuffs, she jumped the fence and retrieved her children, exiting before police entered.
23:35A video clip showed parents questioning why police were not trying to save their children.
23:40To which an officer replies,
23:42Because I'm having to deal with you.
23:44Man, that's fucking crazy, bro.
23:47They're just standing all outside, bro.
23:50There's fucking kids in there still, man.
23:52Y'all should have fucking trained that motherfucker like that.
23:55What the fuck you doing to him?
23:57Let him go!
23:58Let him go!
23:59Let him go!
24:00What the fuck?
24:01What the fuck?
24:02What the fuck?
24:03What the fuck?
24:04What the fuck?
24:05What the fuck?
24:06What the fuck?
24:07What the fuck?
24:08What the fuck?
24:09He's in the class.
24:10F***.
24:11F***.
24:12Dude, if I got shots fired.
24:14Why?
24:15We're going to be in the building.
24:17The west side.
24:19What the fuck?
24:20Dude, we got to get in there.
24:21We got to get in there.
24:22We just keep shooting.
24:23We got to get in there.
24:24We're going to get in there.
24:28Go back, everybody.
24:29We're not going to let you.
24:30Back in.
24:31Right there.
24:32Right there.
24:33Me up!
24:34Over here!
24:35They're going to be over here.
24:36They're going to be over here.
24:38Baby!
24:39Me up!
24:40Me up!
24:41Me up!
24:42Me up!
24:43Me up!
24:44Me up!
24:45Me up!
24:46Me up!
24:47Me up!
24:48Me up!
24:49A United States Border Patrol Tactical Unit agent rushed to the scene after receiving a text from his wife, who was a teacher there.
24:58Prior to this, the agent had been off duty.
25:01The agent immediately had set out with a shotgun his barber had lent him.
25:05That's the most Texas thing I've ever heard.
25:08And arrived on the scene approximately an hour after the first responders arrived.
25:13He then proceeded to help evacuate children.
25:16Contrary to online rumors and social media posts, he did not enter the school or kill the shooter.
25:23Additional BORTAC agents arrived, but they did not have a battering ram or other breaching tools.
25:29So a U.S. Marshal on the scene provided agents with a ballistic shield.
25:34Ramos stayed in the classroom for around one hour, hiding behind a steel door that officers said they could not open until they obtained a master key from the janitor.
25:45However, there is evidence that the door was never locked.
25:49After the door was opened, a BORTAC agent entered the room holding the shield, followed by two other BORTAC agents, a Border Patrol search, trauma, and rescue agent, BORSTAR, and at least one sheriff's deputy.
26:03Ramos reportedly opened fire at the group from a closet in the room before officials returned fire and killed him.
26:10Ramos kid.
26:34Here he is!
26:35Dude, he was a one-time doctor with a ë³´ì¡°ont.
26:38At 12-12, a Uvaldi officer's body camera picks up radio traffic from a dispatcher saying there is a call from a child in room 12.
26:52You have a child on the line.
26:57Hey, what was that?
26:58You're going to be in room 4.
27:01Well, the victims, child call 9-1-1.
27:04You're going to be a victim.
27:05Children were risking their lives and calling the cops several times, wondering why they don't go in, giving them the room number, knowing that if they do get that phone and make that call, there's a chance that they could get shot, knowing that, and they did it, and the cops still didn't go in.
27:29And it's just a complete disgrace.
27:32I feel all those people should turn in their badges.
27:35Of your daughter, she had just won an honor roll.
27:39Yeah, yeah.
27:42Yeah, she...
27:43What do you want people to know about her?
27:46That she was just trying to do the right thing.
27:49She was just trying to call the cops.
27:51That's...
27:52She was so scared of just strangers and things like this.
27:58Like, she would lock the door when I would step out to put gas in the car.
28:01Like, she...
28:03This is literally, like, her worst fear.
28:06And she was just trying to help everyone.
28:08She talked to us of something like this.
28:11So, I...
28:11I'm a med-aid.
28:14So, when I arrived on the scene, they still had kids inside.
28:18They started bringing their kids out.
28:21And I was aiding assistance.
28:22One little girl was just covered in blood, head to toe.
28:25Like, I thought she was injured.
28:28I asked her what was wrong.
28:29And she said she's okay.
28:30She was hysterical, saying that they shot her best friend.
28:33That they killed her best friend.
28:35And she's not breathing.
28:36And she was trying to call the cops.
28:37And I asked the little girl the name.
28:40And she's...
28:42And she told me...
28:43And she said, hey, Marie.
28:44That's how you learn.
28:59She was so sweet, Mr. Cooper.
29:03She was the sweetest little girl who did nothing wrong.
29:07She listened to her mom and dad.
29:10She always brushed her teeth.
29:13She was creative.
29:14She made things for us.
29:16She never got in trouble in school.
29:18Like, I just want to know what she did to be a victim.
29:28And she loved being a big sister.
29:31You have a three-year-old son named Zane.
29:33I have a three-year-old son named Zane.
29:37Who I ask for his sister every morning when he wakes up.
29:44He doesn't know at this point, I assume.
29:48We've informed him that his sister is now with the God.
29:55And that she will no longer be with us.
29:59And, of course, he just cried.
30:02I mean, he's three years old.
30:05And it's still emotional for him to even process.
30:08She just turned 10.
30:18Her birthday was on the 10th.
30:21May the 10th, two weeks ago.
30:23Two weeks ago.
30:23You had a party for her.
30:26We had a guy.
30:27We just gathered a family and had a dinner.
30:28She just got her phone.
30:30She had been wanting her phone for so long.
30:31And we finally got it for her.
30:33She just tried to call the police.
30:40She tried to.
30:41She actually tried to call.
30:45Yes, I got confirmation from two of the students in her classroom
30:49that she was just trying to call the authorities.
30:54And I guess he just shot her.
30:59How do you look at this girl and shoot her?
31:01Oh, my baby.
31:10How do you shoot my baby?
31:15I'm sorry.
31:16I'm sorry.
31:16How was your wife?
31:24I just want to ask everybody to just keep my wife in their prayers.
31:28She.
31:29Amory had the best mother.
31:30She did everything she could for her daughter.
31:35And she's just beating herself up so bad about this.
31:38And maybe it's not your fault, I promise.
31:41I just want you to be happy.
31:48Is there anything else you want people to know about Amber?
31:52I just want people to know that she just died trying to save her classmates.
31:57She just wanted to save everyone.
32:05I'm so sorry for your loss.
32:08I wish you peace in the days ahead.
