A Uvalde mother who was handcuffed as she tried to run by police outside Robb Elementary School, but eventually got free and rescued her kids, is now being harassed by police after speaking out about the incident.
Angeli Rose Gomez, a native of Uvalde, rushed to the school after she got calls about the shooting.
Mark Di Carlo said the scene when she arrived was the most horrible he had ever seen.
taxpayer shields and bulletproof vests were not used to enter the school, but the SUVs were used to block people from going in to save money.
Gomez was handcuffed by either a Texas Department of Public Safety officer or US marshal as she tried to get past the police line. A Uvalde police officer helped Gomez get free.
I see his arm as soon as they take me off the cuffs. Gomez said this week that he could just run.
There is an official in Texas who says that Uvalde SHOOTER DRIVEN BY SOCIAL MEDIA FAME, ABHORRENT, BEHAVIOR WENT UNCHECKED FOR MONTHS.
Gomez found the classroom that her oldest son was in and told them to leave, then found her youngest son and helped him get out of the school.
The hearing is on Capitol Hill.
She shared her story with local media this week, prompting a backlash from law enforcement, according to her lawyer.
Gomez told police that there were illegal immigrants in her car after she was stopped.
Di Carlo thinks that was a ruse to harass her.
There are answers to the questions regarding firearms.
Gomez was walking with her grandmother when they saw a Uvalde Police Department officer sitting in a car near their house.
Gomez had a threat made against him on the day of the shooting.
The police response to the shooting that killed 19 children and two adults has been harshly criticized.
There were people with firearms and a martial arts training inside the school.
The director of the Texas Department of Public Safety accused the Uvalde school police chief of placing the lives of officers before the lives of children.
There was a sufficient number of armed officers wearing body armor after the suspect entered the west building.
The mayor of Uvalde accused McCraw of blaming state law enforcement.
McLaughlin said at the Uvalde City Council meeting last week that there were eight law enforcement agencies in the hallway leading up to the Robb Elementary School incident. He leaves out the number of his own officers and rangers that were on scene.
Di Carlo, who also represents several other community members in Uvalde, said he's considering multiple lawsuits related to Gomez's case, including a civil rights lawsuit for violating her free speech or a lawsuit for false imprisonment.
There was no response from the Uvalde Police Department on Monday.
