Distressing new footage shows children breaking through windows and racing out the door as they attempted to flee from a gunman who opened fire on their elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, last week.
On Monday, just days after 18-year-old Salvador Ramos murdered 19 children and two teachers holed up inside a fourth-grade classroom in the Texas city, Good Morning America released footage that shows the chaotic moment some students managed to break free.
In the video, dozens of officers and first responders are seen surrounding the perimeter of the building while some perch nearby a window. One of the windows then appears to be smashed to allow the elementary-age children crouching inside the same building where a live shooter has yet to be apprehended to then escape to safety.
The officers can be seen lifting the students out of the window, and then directing them to run away from the school where many of their classmates remained shut inside.
