Shocking testimonies are coming in from the massacre in Texas, where 19 children were killed when an 18-year-old opened fire inside their school.
According to new reports, a heroic girl appears to have been shot by the 18-year-old gunman as she tried to call police.
Specifically, on Tuesday morning, 4th grader, 10-year-old Ameri Jo Garza, was incredibly happy in the photo she appeared to be holding of her school report card that listed her on the honor roll at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
Taken around 10 a.m. was her last photo alive, her grandmother, Berlinda Irene Areola, told The Dialy Beast, adding that the girl, who was very smart and a teacher's favorite, was fatally injured calling 911.
"My granddaughter was shot and killed because she was trying to call 911 (the equivalent of 911).
She died like a hero trying to call for help for herself and her classmates," her grandmother said.
Recall that 18-year-old Salvador Ramos stormed the school - as seen in a video that has been released - and fatally shot 19 children and two teachers.
As soon as the news broke, Améri Jo's family members rushed to the school to learn anything about their missing daughter.
They searched for the girl via social media

Her stepfather, Angel Garza, posted on Facebook a few hours later: "I don't ask for much or hardly any posting here, but please. It's been 7 hours and I still haven't heard anything about my love. Please Facebook help me find my daughter."
