Newly released images exonerate the Robb Elementary School teacher who initially accused police of opening a door and allowing the Uvalde mass shooter to enter the school.
Footage shows Emilia “Amy” Marin kicking a rock that opened the front door of the school, then slamming the door as she calls for help after seeing Salvador Ramos (18) open fire outside the school.
The revelations come after DailyMail.com revealed that Marin was left traumatized when police initially charged her with negligently opening the door and allowing Ramos to enter the school and start his rampage.
Uvalde police later clarified that Marin had locked the door, but that on May 24, Ramos was able to enter and kill 19 children and two teachers because the door did not lock automatically as it should.
The security footage, taken from Robb Elementary School, obtained by ABC News, supports Marin’s innocence.
Uvalde police initially accused Emilia “Amy” Marin primary school teacher of throwing open the door, Uvalde’s gunman Salvador Ramos (18).
The clip showed Marin, an after-school program coordinator, pushing a cart out of the propped up back door of the school while helping another faculty member load food into the school to prepare for a year-end party.
Moments later, Marin was seen sprinting into the school to grab her phone and call 911 after seeing Ramos’ car wreck across the street.
“My first thought was that someone had had a heart attack because he was traveling at 80 miles per hour, she recalled to ABC News. “And then he hit the railing and ended up in a ditch. I run to him to help him.’
After crashing his car, Ramos emerged from the wreckage and started opening fire. Marin was then seen on the security footage bursting into the school, clearly kicking the stone that had held the door open.
The door swung shut behind her, then she heard frantically screaming over the phone that Ramos had a gun and was firing.
‘The kids are running! The kids run!’ she could be heard talking to the 911 operator.
