3rd world country is that what we want? This is what we are seeing here.
What tremendous courage and awareness shown by this young lady to be able to do this under the most horrifying moment in her life,May GOD bless and comfort all the families who lost loved ones and those who were injured 🙏❤
This girl deserves to be host of survivor cause WOW a 4th grader did that?! Like that is some adult thinking skills and quick ones. GOOD JOB! Stay smart stay alive my awesome people! I hope she is just as strong and smart as she was before this awful incident I really hope that her having to cover her self in class mates blood was not to traumatizing for her you gotta do your best to help her get through that even if she doesn’t show it bothers her. The parents need to take that girl to disney or any theme park she wants to goto most, get her some technology idk or a giant barbie house what ever toys she plays with look for the biggest kind of them you know like shower her with gifts cause she gave you a gift she survived at all cost to come out ok from this.
poor girl, gonna need counseling for the rest of her life after that. thankfully she’s alive because of her quick thinking. this is the kind of stuff a Navy SEAL would do.
Dear lord, these poor children.
PsiOp
Lots of upset people in the comments. How about some gun sale law reform on the national scale? Background checks and cooling off periods?
Instead of blaming inanimate objects we should be blaming the lack of mental health care. We already have background checks.
The most sickening part is watching the leftist propaganda machine utilizing tragedy to push their agenda, they claim they want to disarm us all to save the kids while pushing abortion to decrease the population to save the planet. Or was that because no one can afford to feed their children due to their disastrous policies, I always forget..
That’s hardcore.
No child should have to go thru anything like this. The newscasters & cameramen are acting like vultures, sticking their cameras in the faces of parents that just lost children hoping to catch footage of tears and emotion. The number of lives this incident has impacted will probably never be known. This boggles the mind, isn’t there more than enough killing and suffering going on in Ukraine right now for everyone? Yet still we have these tragedies at home. The current state of the world is just sickening.
Smart but sad. I’m mostly Republican but have been all for gun control for a while now. I hope we can get some real change after this….
Instead of blaming inanimate objects we should be blaming the lack of mental health care.
Nobody with guns helped.
Almsot like it was a gun free zone.
Wow 👏😮👏 poor baby girl, bless her
Jesus’ fuxkin Christ.. this is where we are in America regarding firearms.. teach your kids to play dead versus common sense gun laws..
Brought you by : GUNS!
Lying
A survivor at Sandy Hook did the exact same thing.
Fire the GQP and Dems who take bribes from the gun lobby.
I witnessed my father be shot and killed in our living room when I was a child. I am 46 now, and the night terrors and ptsd symptoms still cripple me to the point I have had great difficulty holding a job and just taking basic care of myself and 3 children. It’s resulted in being homeless on 3 separate occasions and struggling like crazy to regain modest shelter for myself and children. My heart breaks for this little girl. I hope society realizes the lifelong impact this will have and support she will need to continue surviving. And I hope society stands up to provide it to her.
As a fellow PTSD sufferer, I am tremendously proud of you for pushing through it, and very sorry that you *have* to have that obstacle.
I have PTSD aswell and I know, trust me, its a life ruiner. I know what it’s like to barely take care of yourself or even hold down a job. My heart goes out to you, God bless 🕊
With these shooting me tinks ALL mexicans in this country need to get on some boats and head back to the safety of Mehico.
I don’t know what to say . I’m speechless. Rip to all the kids . They did not deserve that
When your parents say you are too young to watch Rambo, but you tell them that what you witness, will help you survive:
More children will be murdered. The lucky ones will be traumatized. Shame on this country for loving guns more than children
🧐
What a barbaric hellhole we live in. ‘Freedom!’ though!
Wow. Thats on some Rambo ish. Sad, but very impressive.
This is all sounding a little bit to hard to believe. There’s no video, no dead bodies, no images of the shooter, no video of the shooter buying guns and body armour. And where did he get the money? All these questions need to be throughly examined.
A smart kid. I haven’t seen that done outside of a war zone to survive an attack.
The only way to fix this is to send more money to Ukraine
👍🏾
A lot of kids lost their lives for no reason in the border broken throw cup tookie mount not the Texas cubs
This was staged and fake
No excuses, it’s time for an Assault Weapons Ban.
Instead of blaming inanimate objects we should be blaming the lack of mental health care. Assault weapons don’t exist. It was a term created to demonize guns and their owners.
We are coming for you criminals !!! You can’t stop us!!! We know these false flags are all your doing !!!! FBI is ASSHOE!!!!
She had more courage than all the cops that sat outside & listened to the slaughter.
This is beyond horrible and things need to change to prevent this in the future. We need to stop pretending that guns are the problem. Guns are the tool, the problem is our mental health care in this country amounts to nothing more than one big failure to Americans. Ban all the guns you want, the problem is still there. Fix the problem by fixing the mental health. America is arguably one of the worst countries in the world when it comes to mental health care, drug addiction and suicide. We provide Trillions upon trillions of dollars to help 3rd world countries fight an everlasting war, while our politicians do nothing to help the war we face here, mental health. Can we, for a change, have our leaders help US?
Have you thought about guns and mental health going hand to hand? How would someone commit a crime like this without a gun?
Wash, rinse, repeat
This is fkd up
The World is the Stage. 🧬🤴🏿👨🏿⚖️👰🏾♀️🧬🌈🌈
Poor Miah. I wish for her to get better.
More BS from Satanic deceivers who want to sacrifice you to their god
Deeply disturbing!
She pulled out the Predator move
The cops ran and hide and called for back up. The blue line of cowards
Mainstream media fails to cover Block Busting news on DURHAM REPORT proving Clinton illegally lied about Trump, MSM is complicit in this cover-up, vote out all dumbocraps and RINOs November elections then IMPEACH Biden and MAGA
You gotta be a troll
My goodness. I’m glad she is alive. I can’t imagine what this poor girl went through.
Schoolshooter got bamboozled
… and to think, aborted babies are covered in their own blood
We as a nation can afford to have a police officer in every school! No excuse!! What it’s like $60k a year for security? The Biden administration printed TRILLIONS of dollars within 2 years! No excuse for not having security!
I mean that’s one smart kid! It’s what I’d do! So glad she is safe!
I think that of all the things that happened, this little girl experienced evil i know she will likely be traumatized forever and need support.
But there is a slim chance that this has awakened the true nature of her soul.
Mia, you can live for others. Your ghosts will always walk with you, but you can stop more frok being made.
Real peacemakers are born in fire.
God bless you.
Breaks my heart.
What happened 20 years ago that we went from zero school shootings, to them increasing in frequency? What changed?
Mental health not being taken seriously.
Every gun owner should be forced to justify their ownership of assault weapons to this little girl and her family.
Every person that supports gun free zones should have to justify keeping schools defenseless
What amazes me is what a good shot and seemed expert on handling those two guns especially for an 18 year old. Who taught him how to shoot and how to handle weapons. Where did he go to practice? Gun club ? Those 2 guns and ammo had to cost thousands. Maybe he received alot of money on his birthday seeing thst just a few days before he was made fun of his clothes due to his poverty. Would have thought he would have went to his workplace to get revenge. But good story about the young girl.
Jesus Christ. Can our leaders be at LEAST as brave as this poor little girl?
Ban on assault rifles
Instead of blaming inanimate objects we should be blaming the lack of mental health care. Assault rifles don’t exist. it was a term given so guns and their owners could be demonized.
Why did we need to know this?
Thank God she knew to do that 🙏🏽
Why are you not telling everyone that the Parents were outside the School wanting to get in the school, FOR
FORTY MINUTES! And SIX POLICE OFFICERS WERE TRYING TO GET ONE FATHER TO ARREST HIM FOR WANTING TO SAVE HIS DAUGHTER, who by the way WAS KILLED?
School shootings only happen in America.
27 school shootings so far this year is 5 each month with 2 extra and it’s only May.
You understand why the rest of world think Americans are Stupid like Trump.
American parents protest at school meetings about? A: 27 school shootings this year B: Masks.
I feel so sorry for this little girl and others who experienced such trauma and devastation. They’re gonna need so much help 🙏
north america is a sick and depraved gun fetishising country that is doomed to collapse
What do you tell your child after living thru that?
I had to talk to my seven yr old about this.
It’s sad to have to do that.
Merk the shooters family…
666 comments? Is that weird or what?
Bet the NRA starts a children’s class in that skill soon…
The shooting like this will happen again n again n it won’t stop. So, get more guns n play. Just follow the second amendment. It’s your right to arm n to protect yourself. If the shooting massacre occurs then you better shut up n say, that’s freedom and democracy, our way.
The police can resign and go be security for governor abbot.
this is an essential knowledge to be thought in a G un Infested country…
Smart kid
We MUST have Martial Law declared and an Emergency Executive Order issued to collect ALL firearms and deploy the military to go door to door and collect every single gun and bullet and issue vouchers for the full retail cost of each item, to be filled on each person’s tax return for the full value and pay them with the refund checks.
This is the only way to make our country safe.
Then using the shot detectors we can find anyone who fires a gun and they will be put in prison.
We have done this with other items before that were perfectly legal, till they weren’t and they are not around any more.
Firearms should be in that same category.
They have done this in other countries.
There is no reason we can’t do it in America.
Congress won’t do it, but the president can.
I wish he would
That girl is braver than our politicians
horrible…and the media loves these stories, that’s a tragedy also
Through her eyewitness, the killer made it was a video game, killing shootout with background music played. His words were very negative as well, good night, its time to die..
…and Ted Cruz is alright with this.
Miah is my new hero 😥💔
When I was in 4th grade, all I did was run around aimlessly not caring about anything because life was easy for me. I cannot fathom the fact that 10 year olds have to do this sh!t to stay alive. I cannot fathom the fact that the police, who are all heavily armed, did NOTHING. It took an off duty officer to end this mass shooting. Wtf???
All that being said, that 10 year old is very smart for her age. Her quick thinking is one of the few things that will make her succeed. I really hope her and anyone else are able to move past this but it is totally understandable and very unfortunate if this is a scar that will live on for the rest of their life.
This is horrific, I hope all these children get very good therapy. Please, pray but also get her therapy. This is awful. 😭
Now imagine the shooter was smarter she would’ve also been killed
here comes the stories now, how much did they pay her to say this? it’s heresay
What a smart little girl! Too bad she had to be this kind of smart. It’s all so tragic.
*All glory to God almighty for using Dr osaba on YouTube to cure my HSV completely with the help of his herbal medicine.*
putting your friend’s blood onto yourself for self survival is something… but one life saved, anyways.
OH NOOOOO. Poor innocent children.
It’s really heart breaking that this tragedy keeps happening over and over again. What does it take to end this madness. My sympathy to all those family’s that lost their loved ones.
That’s called a source of survival!

👏❤️🙏😭
Amazing she had the mind to do that. So happy she did. I’m sure with time her nighmare will fade
Smart kid! Thank god she survived. My heart goes out to all these families. And we need to bring justice to all these babies. God only knows how many would have survived if police would have not considered them gone already. Heart breaking. I would be arrested or shot if I knew my child was in a building with an “active” shooter. I would do everything in my power to get to my child. Or to someone elses child. These babies were failed by the people inlisted to help them. That is the worst thing about all of this.
It took the smarts of an 11 year old’s instincts to save herself because the three policemen at the classroom door ran away when gunman fired at them. This little girl WITNESSED the police backing away. She knew she would not get help from these three COWARDS.
I hope this police department is fully and INDEPENDENTLY INVESTIGATED for the purpose of laying charges against them …..particularly these three policemen ….for FAILING TO SERVE AND PROTECT. They were right there …..and ran away like the COWARDS THEY ARE!!!! They need to be incarcerated and stripped of every typical pensions and pension benefits. THEY FAILED TO DO THEIR JOBS!!!!
.
I’m starting to not believe this.
Good job little girl
That’s sad her own friend
and the cops call themselves heroes
..gtfoh..they all should be fired..including the chief
Smart but so sad a Child has to think like that.
There is no doubt in my mind that the majority of parents in that school voted for Republicans in the last election. You cannot vote irresponsibly – that is all I am saying, and then scream when tragedy happens, backed by GOP grifters.
