Trapped with a killer for 77 minutes: Devastating new book gives definitive bullet-by-bullet account of one of America's deadliest school shootings
Daily MailAnother day in America, another school shooting. Bloodstained Khloie Torres, who was trapped in room 112 of Robb Elementary School while Salvador Ramos killed her teachers and classmates. Calling on personal testimony from those caught up in a nightmare every American parent must fear, 'Uvalde's Darkest Hour' walks us through 77 terrifying minutes – a living hell in which young children and teachers cowered amid the darkness, dead bodies and gunfire praying that someone in authority would come to help. That's when Ramos appears, first blasts the teacher then turns the assault rifle on the children in 111 who, in Reyes' words, are now crouched 'like sitting ducks' beneath a computer table stretched along one side of the room. Teacher Irma Garcia in room 112 is shot 11 times and falls forwards with seven children gathered behind her, holding out her arms as if to protect them.
