Uvalde mass shooting: Survivor, 11, testifies before US lawmakers
A Fourth Grade student who survived the Uvalde shooting by covering herself in a classmate's blood said she doesn't feel safe at school after The Massacre .
Speaking in a pre-recorded message to US lawmakers, Miah Cerrillo, 11, said that she fears that a similar shooting may happen again.
The Texas shooting has led to renewed US national debate about gun regulations.
But efforts to advance national gun-control regulations have often stalled.
The School Shooting claimed the lives of 21 people, including 19 young children.
In emotional testimony before a congressional panel looking into US gun violence, the young Ms Cerrillo recalled the terrifying shooting, which for her began when A Teacher told students to hide after seeing The Gunman , an 18-year-old local.
The Gunman shot her teacher as children took cover behind her desk and their book bags.
" He told her goodnight, and shot her in The Head , " She Said . " And Then he shot some of my classmates. "
Ms Cerrillo was wounded by fragments in her shoulders and head. During The Incident , she pretended to be dead before using her teacher's phone to call 911 and ask for police.
" I thought he was going to come back to The Room , so I grabbed the [her classmate's] blood and put it all Over Me , " She Said . " I just stayed quiet. "
Miah's father, Miguel Cerrillo, said that his daughter is suffering from lingering trauma from The Event .
" She's not the same Little Girl I used to play with, " He Said tearfully. " Schools are not safe anymore. Something really needs to change. "
Later on Wednesday, the complete US House of Representatives is scheduled to debate a bill that would see the minimum age to buy some guns raised from 18 to 21. The Bill is unlikely to pass in The Senate .
Only a handful of the 50 Republican senators appear open to new gun legislation, with Democrats seeking narrower gun measures to compromise with their Republican colleagues.
Proposals with The Greatest support include a " red flag" law that would prevent individuals with mental illness or a criminal history from purchasing firearms and expanded background checks on gun purchasers that would include private gun sales.
Speaking at a rally in Washington Dc , Shannon Watts, The Founder of Moms Demand Action, a Gun Control advocacy organisation, told The Bbc that The Testimony of survivors and widespread public calls for change can be a " powerful" call to action.
" There's Focus On the issue, " She Said . " When there's a national shooting tragedy, we finally see more people In America decide they are going to get off the side lines. "
