Uvalde gunman splashed blood on teacher's face to see if he was still alive: report
The Robb Elementary School teacher who was the only survivor in Room 111 gave an emotional interview after 10 surgeries and a month in the hospital.
CNN's Shimon Prokupecz interviewed Arnulfo Reyes, who described trying to get the children under a table before he was shot.
"And so you get hit and you go down," Prokupecz said. "And what's going on in your mind at that time?"
"Im just thinking and waiting for somebody to come and save us," Reyes replied. You always think, you know, something bad is happening that the cops get there so fast, they rush in and they help you, you know and I was just waiting for that. I was waiting for anybody -- anybody to come save us."

Reyes described the shooter trying to get him to flinch and splashing blood in his face.

"I think so," Reyes replied.
