"I don't want it to happen again," Miah Cerrillo, 11, the only survivor of the shooting at the elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, two weeks ago, asked the United States Congress on Wednesday, in which 19 people died. .

Cerrillo described how she smeared herself with the blood of a murdered classmate so that Salvador Ramos, the 18-year-old who opened fire in her classroom, would think that she, too, was dead. The girl said she no longer felt safe at school and described the brutality of the shooting during a hearing on the regulation of firearms in the United States.

When asked in recorded testimony what he wanted to see happen at his school, he replied: "Have security."

When asked if she felt safe at school, she shook her head, saying, "I don't want it to happen again."
