Blanca Rivera told ABC13 her niece was injured by fragments of the bullet that hit the 11-year-old's classmate. Rivera is now fighting for answers all these miles away from her relatives.
UVALDE, Texas -- The tragedy affecting our neighbors in Uvalde, Texas is also affecting Houstonians after a woman told ABC13 her niece was one of the injured victims.
Blanca Rivera, who lives in Houston, said her niece is a student at Robb Elementary School, where the massacre in Uvalde happened.So far, she said she knows the alleged gunman, Salvador Ramos, went into the classroom and opened fire. Rivera said her niece's friend was shot and her niece was hit by bullet fragments. The niece remains at the hospital.
While this is such a horrifying experience, the 11-year-old's family is just thankful at this point that she's OK. "She's like another daughter to me so it makes me real nervous and anxious. They are so far away. It's not like I'm there. It's nervous and scary to think it hit so close to home. It could have been my kids," Rivera said.
