Adalynn Ruiz will never forget the last text message she sent to her mother, Eva Mireles, on the morning of May 24.
“I texted my mom and I said, ‘You’re gonna be OK, mom. I love you so much.’ And that’s the last thing I sent her before I found out that she didn’t make it,” Adalynn said.
“I started reading on Facebook that the shooter was inside of a classroom. And then, I kind of started to freak out a little bit,” Adalynn said. “But I didn’t think, like, ‘It’s not my mom. It’s not gonna be my mom.’”“I called her again and she didn’t answer, but I figured she can’t be on her phone. She’s taking care of her kids,” Adalynn said. “She didn’t answer me again, and then I was talking to my tias -- her sisters.
Adalynn’s coworker drove her home to Uvalde, which was about an hour away from where she was working. She said it felt “like the longest drive ever” as she waited for a reply from Eva.The shooter went inside two adjoining fourth-grade classrooms, one of which was Eva Mireles’ class, and opened fire.
