New audio from an emergency 911 call released on Wednesday captured a 10-year-old girl pleading with the dispatcher to “please get help” while trapped in a Uvalde, Texas, classroom with the gunman who killed 19 of her classmates and two teachers.
Whispering to the dispatcher, Khloie can be heard asking police to come to the school quickly, saying: “There's a lot of dead bodies.”
At 12.10pm, she told the dispatcher: “I'm in classroom … 112.
“Please send help.”
It was one of three times she desperately called 911 asking for help.
At 12.15pm, she told the operator that her teacher, Eva Mireles, had been shot but was alive, and asked for an ambulance. Mireles later died and was one of two educators who were killed.
Two minutes later, she asked: “How far are y'all away?”
By that point, about 400 officers had arrived at the scene but had yet to confront the gunman.
Police said they had mistakenly thought the suspect was barricaded and not actively shooting.
One officer, who was at the scene for more than 20 minutes, was not aware that children were injured.
Khloie later told police she had used her teacher's phone to make the emergency call and that her father had taught her “how to handle these situations”.
