Twisted killer Salvador Ramos played sad music during his Texas massacre, which began when he said “good night” to a teacher before killing her, a surviving student recalled in a terrifying new interview.
Miah Cerrillo, the 11-year-old quick-thinking girl who was smeared with the blood of her murdered friend to kill herself, leaked creepy details of Tuesday’s carnage at Robb d’Uvalde Elementary School.
He told CNN that his fourth grader had just finished watching the Disney movie “Lilo & Stitch” on Tuesday morning when his two teachers received an alert about an active shooter.
One of the educators ran to close the door of his classroom, but Ramos, 18, was already there and shot in through a door window, the traumatized girl revealed in an off-camera interview.
Cerrillo saw Ramos support the teacher in the classroom and deliberately made eye contact with her, before saying “Good night” and killing her, he told the network.
He did not identify which of the two murdered teachers, Irma Garcia, 46, and Eva Mireles, 44, were shot first.
But Ramos quickly killed the other educator, as well as many of the 19 children he would kill, said Cerrillo, who was also injured by fragments that hit her head, shoulders and back.

After the initial storm of gunfire, Ramos headed to the adjoining classroom, with Cerrillo hearing screams as more of his friends were massacred.
Then Ramos started playing loud, sad music, telling CNN, “I want people to die.”
It was while he was in the next room that Cerrillo put his hand on the blood spilled from one of his murdered friends, rubbed it on top to look dead, he said.

During this time, Cerrillo and a friend also picked up a phone call from one of their dead teachers to make a desperate call to 911, one of several that arrived from school during the massacre.
He told CNN that he begged the dispatcher, “Please come, come, we’re in trouble!”
The brave young woman then remained silent, it is said, over her murdered friend to make him look more convincing, for more than an hour before the police finally burst in and killed Ramos.

The ordeal was so unbearable that the young woman was convinced she had been trapped there without help for at least three hours, her family said.
The young woman burst into tears as she spoke of the delay in the police response, which has since sparked public outrage after distressing videos surfaced showing parents asking police outside to storm the classroom, CNN reported.
It took police officials until Friday, three days after the massacre, to finally admit that “they had made the wrong decision” by waiting so long to enter the room and save the students.

Cerrillo’s mother told CNN that she already called her daughter her “miracle baby” because she survived a tumor in her abdomen that doctors had predicted would kill her shortly after birth.
He was almost lucky to escape Tuesday’s trauma as well: he missed school in the morning due to an earache.
Her mother offered to keep her out of school all day, she said. But the girl wanted to see her friends: many saw them die before her eyes just an hour after returning to class.

She is now “extremely traumatized,” unable to sleep and her hair is falling out, CNN said. On Friday, an online fundraiser to help pay for the therapy had raised $ 199,000, nearly 20 times the $ 10,000 goal.
The brave young woman was too terrified to speak in front of the camera or with a journalist, but “she wanted to share her story so people could know what it’s like to be shot at school” and hopefully “help prevent a tragedy like this.” .other children, “he told CNN.
