Description: Arnulfo Reyes heard a child in the next classroom call out for help. "Officer, come in here. We're in here." Then he heard more gunshots. He never heard that voice again. On January 12, 2026, Reyes — the only teacher to survive the massacre inside Robb Elementary's connected classrooms — testified in the trial of former Uvalde school district officer Adrian Gonzales. His account was unflinching. He described the gunman as a "black shadow" holding a weapon, fire coming from the barrel, the bullet that dropped him, and then the sound of his students being executed. The shooter came back to taunt him, smearing Reyes' own blood on his face while the teacher kept his eyes closed, pretending to be dead. It didn't matter. The gunman shot him in the back anyway. Reyes lay wounded on the floor of Room 111 for 77 minutes before Border Patrol agents finally breached. Every child in his class was killed. The prosecution is using this testimony to show what was happening inside while officers, including Gonzales, allegedly waited outside. But the defense struck back hard on cross-examination. Attorney Nico LaHood questioned Reyes about the culture of unlocked doors at Robb Elementary and got him to admit that locking his classroom door was his responsibility. The implication: there's plenty of blame to go around. Texas Rangers also testified about the "fatal funnel" officers faced — a hallway with no cover against rifle fire. This case is unprecedented. Gonzales faces 29 counts of child endangerment for allegedly failing to act. The question for the jury: who failed these children first?#HiddenKillers #UvaldeMassacre #GonzalesTrial #ArnulfoReyes #RobbElementary #TrueCrimePodcast #ChildEndangerment #CourtroomDrama #UvaldeTexas #JusticeForUvaldeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
