The survivor of the shooting, Samuel Salinas, spoke to ABC News on Wednesday.
Samuel said he played dead so he wouldn't shoot him. I think one of the chairs blocked it and the pieces fell on my leg.
Samuel is struggling to process the attack and his injury.
He told ABC News that he doesn't feel safe at school.
His father, Christopher Salinas, organized a Go Fund Me for his son's medical expenses and emergency funds.
Samuel was in recovery and the family's goal was to help him get through this tragic time as healthy as possible.
A survivor of the shooting spoke to the Washington Post about seeing his teacher get shot.
She had some blood on her, but she was whispering. Stay where you are. The Post identified the child as Daniel.
According to the Post, Daniel has lost interest in his hobbies after experiencing nightmares. The cousin of Daniel was one of the victims.
Daniel said that he used to play combat video games like War Game but has not been able to touch his equipment since the shooting.
He told the Post that he doesn't like the gunshots.
Hundreds of thousands of donors from the US and across the world have raised millions of dollars for the families and community of Uvalde.
We are working around the clock to ensure the families receive the support they need and that funds are delivered quickly and safely, the statement said.
The community center in Uvalde wrote on Facebook that it was planning how to address the long-term grief of residents.
The post said that the CHDI Family is grieving the loss of many family members. We need your patience as we grieve and coordinate a united response to help our community.
The governor promised survivors of the Uvalde shooting that they would receive free mental health services, but many are skeptical after Abbott slashed the budget for the state's department that runs mental health programs.
The child that made it home is a piece of that child that never left.
