Uvalde: ‘I don’t want to die’: Uvalde’s student begs for help in heartbreaking new 911 sound

The heartbreaking recently released sound of an emergency call captured a 10-year-old Texas schoolgirl begging police to “please hurry” because “I don’t want to die” as a gunman gunned down scores of her classmates.

The girl called 911 40 minutes before the police stormed the school in Uvalde in May, the publication reports. New York Post.

According to an audio recording received CNN.

“I’m in class… 112,” she tells the dispatcher at 12:10, after whispering to another classmate, as the screams of the wounded could be heard in the background.

“Please hurry. There are many corpses… Please send help!” She was heard begging for at least three 911 calls while trapped.

Torres, now 11, survived the massacre.

“Please help. I don’t want to die. My teacher is dead. Oh my God,” she pleaded, according to the heartbreaking report.

As she spoke, the screams of her injured classmates could be heard in the background, CNN reported, as the brave youth tried to silence them despite “no one was listening to me.”

“I know how to deal with situations like this – my dad taught me when I was a little girl,” she said, boasting that no 10-year-old should be showing off.

“Send help – some of my teachers are still alive, but they’ve been shot,” she pleaded two minutes into the call, one of several made since the massacre in May.

At one point, she boldly asks, “Do you want me to open the door now?”

The dispatcher relayed the teen’s desperate pleas to the officers, signaling that the room they were left outside was “full of victims”—a message that still didn’t spur them to action.

At 12:17 p.m., seven terrifying minutes after her 911 call, the girl begged to know where the police were, as more than 400 police arrived but they were unable to save her and her injured and dying friends.

One of the teachers who was shot, Eva Mireles, called her police officer husband Rubén Ruiz to warn her that she was dying, but the officer instead refrained from trying to save her. She was among two teachers who died along with their 19 students.

The police did not storm the premises until 12.50 – for about 40 minutes they begged for help, and after 77 minutes, 19-year-old shooter Salvador Ramos began the massacre.

During her ordeal, Torres made three separate calls to 911, visibly baffled as to why help hadn’t arrived – with a final call when gunshots were filmed as officers finally rushed in and shot Ramos. CNN said.

“What she did that day was absolutely incredible,” Torres’ father, former Marine Ruben Torres, told the network.

As for the police officers, he said, “None of them had the guts that day,” he said.

The reaction of the police – or lack of it – caused widespread outrage, as well as numerous investigations.

CNN said it alerted other Uvalde families before broadcasting the audio received from the source.
