The woman updated her Instagram stories to express her horror on the mass shooting saying that she has shared all the information with the police.
She wrote, “He’s a stranger I know nothing about him he decided to tag me in his gun post.” She added, “I’m so sorry for the victims and their families I really don’t know what to say.”
“The only reason I responded to him was because I was afraid of him I wish I stayed awake to at least try to convince him to not commit his crime. I didn’t know,” the woman added.
When a user asked if she was the Texas shooter’s girlfriend, she replied, “I don’t know him and I don’t even live in Texas.”
Robb Elementary School
Robb Elementary School is based in Uvalde, which is around 133km west of the city of San Antonio, in Texas. It’s a primary school with pupils ranging in age from five to 11.
