According to the NY Post, Miah Cerrillo saw her friend get fatally shot in front of her inside their fourth-grade class Tuesday, she went into what her aunt detailed as “survivor mode” and smeared the other girl’s blood on her body to convince the mass shooter that she, too, was dead.

“My sister-in-law said is that she saw her friend full of blood, and she got blood and put it on herself,” Blanca Rivera shared with station KPRC about her niece, Miah Cerrillo.

Before playing dead, the young girl made a quick decision and managed to grab her dead teacher’s phone and contact 911 for help. 

Miah was injured but taken to the hospital and has been released. “My brother said she had bullet fragments in her back,” said Rivera.
