Uwald, Texas – The moment when Uwald County Sheriff's deputies discovered that the grandmother of the Rob Elementary School shooter had a gunshot wound on the face, the body camera was released Tuesday.
Before the gunman killed 19 children and two teachers at elementary school, authorities said he shot his grandmother, known as Celia “Sally” Gonzales, at home.
When deputies arrived, part of Gonzalez's face and other areas of her body were covered in blood.
In the video, a deputy was heard asking Gonzalez: “Who did this to you?” and “Who is your grandson?”
Representatives can be heard asking for EMS units when Gonzales holds a towel on her face to heal the injury.
One of the deputies grabbed Gonzalez's arm and directed her to the home while urging her to bear the pressure from the wound. Gonzalez said with assistance from her: “I don’t know where he is.”
When Gonzalez was taken to the front of the home door, there were at least four units in the Uwald County Sheriff’s Office on the scene. The delegate wearing a body car asked, “What do you want us to do?” Another delegate replied, “I think we are disappointing an official now.”
The deputy wearing a body car left immediately and drove to Rob.
A few days after the shooting, Gonzalez's second cousin, Jason Ybarra, told the New York Post that the bullet “entered Sally's chin just near her mouth and broke all her teeth.”
“If the bullet goes an inch in the other direction, it will shock her head,” Ibara said.
Gonzalez was released from a local hospital more than a month after the Robert massacre.
