“I’m in classroom 112,” the little girl tells the police dispatcher. “Please hurry. There is a lot of dead bodies.”
The clear plea comes in a 12:10 p.m. call from Khloie Torres, then 10 years old and trapped at
Robb Elementary School with a gunman who has slaughtered her friends and a teacher. Khloie, now 11, survived.
“Please get help. I don’t wanna die. My teacher is dead. Oh, my God.”
The dispatcher sends out the message to the dozens, soon to be hundreds of law enforcement officers swarming to the school in Uvalde, Texas.
It’s more than 30 minutes since the teenager entered the school and shot his way into classrooms 111 and 112.
