In the midst of so much tragedy,
I'm very sentimental. You know?
Grandma's neighbors, we found a miracle
at University Hospital in San Antonio.
And you know, I don't. I don't like
to be suffering, you know Jimmy
and Tina Olivares are Kendall
Olivares's grandparents.
Very brave little
girl. She's tough.
Kendall survived the deadliest
school shooting in Texas history.
Just glad that it.
I mean it was so happy with us.
You know?
I don't know what it would do without
her. This brave 9 year old girl
is everything that's inspiring.
Kendall, who loves dancing Mexican
bingo and tick tock videos. Remembers
the moment the gunman
stormed into her classroom.
Her scene that you know,
it's gonna stay with her,
you know, forever.
You know how she saw her
teacher get shot.
I mean, it just happened
right in front of her
shot twice, once in the left shoulder
and in her back Kendall is alive
and able to tell her parents what
happened inside Rob Elementary.
They are not able to speak publicly,
but her grandparents are.
Happy you know that they care for
people and a lot of people care for
Kendall's story is not easy to listen to,
but it's important to hear and understand
the terror unleashed in her classroom.
Prepare yourself to learn the horror
she went through for more than
an hour in her 4th grade class.
You know? Got hurt.
Passed away, Kendall told her
mother the gunman yelled out.
Y'all are done.
She says she was the first student shot
and then teacher Edna Garcia was shot
and landed on top of her one by one.
Kendall told her mother the
gunman shot her friends.
She heard each of them fall to the floor.
Kendall's cousin is a classmate.
He pulled Miss Garcia's body off of Kendall.
Both Kendall and her cousin survived.
The Olivaris family is overcome.
With gratitude thank you.
God forgive me another chance
after 5 surgeries in 10 days,
Kendall faces a long road to recovery
both physically and mentally.
Mrs Olivadi says Kendall's parents
are faced with their own recovery.
He just cries but has not really
really like let it all out.
I mean he's and he's scared,
you know he's very scared.
Kendall doesn't want to go back to Uvalde.
She can still hear the gunshots.
The shooter walking down the
hallway with his gun and her
mother says she can't sleep. We
will get through this.
For her, we will.
The family says support and prayers
from around the world has carried them.
