Uvalde school shooting trial: Elsa Avila - Uvalde ISD 4th grade teacher
During testimony in the trial of former officer Adrian Gonzales, former teacher Elsa Avila recounted how her fourth-grade students used their active shooter training to remain quiet and comfort her after she was shot in her classroom. Another teacher, Erin Robin, testified to seeing an unidentified officer standing by a school district vehicle during the attack, positioned between her classroom and the ongoing gunfire. The defense used Robin’s sighting to suggest that Gonzales was positioned in a defensive spot between the teacher and the shooter during the massacre.
