77 Minutes On The Floor: Uvalde Teacher Describes Listening To His Students Die | Gonzales Trial

from Hidden Killers Live! Daily True Crime News & Breakdowns · host Hidden Killers Podcast

Arnulfo Reyes lay on the floor of Room 111 for 77 minutes. Shot twice. Pretending to be dead. Listening. Waiting for help that wouldn't come fast enough.The only surviving teacher from that classroom took the stand in the Adrian Gonzales trial and described May 24, 2022, in detail the jury will never forget. He saw a "black shadow" in the doorway. Watched fire come from the gun. Took a bullet to his arm and fell. Then he heard the shooter kill every single one of his students. All eleven children in his classroom died. The gunman taunted him. Splashed Reyes' own blood on his face. Shot him in the back.When prosecutor Bill Turner asked if any of his students survived, Reyes gave a two-word answer: "No, sir."Earlier in the week, crime scene photographs showed jurors what investigators found inside Room 111. Pools of blood. Drag marks. Bloodstains dried on desks and textbooks. A child's tennis shoe soaked red. Former Texas Ranger Juan Torrez testified that trajectory rods placed into bullet cavities showed the shooter fired downward — through the desks — at children who were hiding underneath.Judge Sid Harle warned the gallery. No family members left. They passed tissues and watched for over an hour.Defense attorney Nico LaHood pressed Reyes on the unlocked doors throughout the school — including the door to his own classroom. Reyes admitted locking it was his responsibility. The defense wants the jury to see failures everywhere, not just in Adrian Gonzales.Gonzales faces 29 counts of child endangerment. The prosecution says he knew where the shooter was and didn't act. The defense says he did what he could in chaos. Sixty witnesses remain.
