The 11-year-old's remarkable story of survival comes as anger grows over how long it took for law enforcement to enter the Uvalde school and confront the gunman.
A girl saw her teacher killed in the Texas shooting but reportedly survived by lying on one of her classmates and smearing the girl's blood on herself to"play dead".
Miah's mother and father were among terrified parents who gathered outside the Uvalde school as the gunman was holed up inside.Mr Cerrillo said he eventually saw his blood-soaked daughter and another child being carried out by an officer. She was taken to hospital with bullet fragments in her neck and back but has been discharged.
Javier Cazares, whose daughter Jacklyn was killed in the attack, said he raised the idea of entering the school with other bystanders. He also managed to enter through an unlocked rear door, Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Victor Escalon said on Thursday.
