“I don’t want it to happen again,” an 11-year-old girl who survived a shooting at a school in Texas two weeks ago told Congress on Wednesday.

Miah Cerrillo explained that the 18-year-old boy who opened fire in his class was also killed in the blood of a classmate so that he would think he was dead, and said that he no longer felt safe at school during a trial. Regulation of firearms in the United States.

Cerrillo, a fourth-year student at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, described his horrific experience when 19 of his classmates and two teachers were shot in a classroom on May 24.

When asked about a pre-recorded video description of what she wants to happen at her school, she replied, “Be safe.” When asked if she felt safe at school, she nodded and said, “I don’t want that to happen again.”
