1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,520 Speaker 1: Hey, guys, I'm Kaylie Shore, and this is too much 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: to say asking questions it out you. Okay, So I 3 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: have not been able to stop thinking about this. Um. 4 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 1: I think I can speak for a lot of us 5 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 1: and say that, but um, the shooting at rob Elementary 6 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: School has just been on my mind so much and 7 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: it's all over the news. But I it's really important 8 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 1: to me that I don't become desensitized to it, because 9 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: that's like a privilege for me to be able to 10 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: just decide to not think about it. And there's like 11 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: a difference between like, okay, like let's take a break 12 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: from the news, and like, let's just pretend this didn't 13 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: happen so I can go along with my life, because 14 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: like those families and those that community, they can't just 15 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: pretend it didn't happen. So I don't feel right just 16 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: like going about my day and not thinking about it. 17 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: And it's really important to me that these kids that 18 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: were lost, that that's what we focus on. I honestly 19 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: don't really give a ship about the piece of trash 20 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: shooter who thought that he was entitled to take that 21 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: many lives um or a life at all, Like he 22 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: can go funk off. Um, he did. I just I 23 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: don't want to talk about that. UM. What I do 24 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: want to do is I want to read an account 25 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: that was directly from a family member of one of 26 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: the kids. UM. And this is an article from the 27 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: Washington Post. So I'm going to read this, and then 28 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: I want to share with you a little bit about 29 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: each of the victims. So this is from tests Manta's 30 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: family and how they learned that she'd been Um, she'd 31 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: been shot. Faith Mata, twenty one, was getting dressed and 32 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: ready for work at her apartment in San Marcos, Texas, 33 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: where she's a rising senior at Texas State University, when 34 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: she received a text from a cousin in her hometown 35 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: of Vivaldi. Her cousin works at the Valdi Police Department. 36 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: The cousin wanted to know what school did her sister 37 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: Test go to. Har The message read, imploring Faith to respond. 38 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: Faith replied that test Mata, a ten year old fourth 39 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: grader who loved TikTok videos, are on a grande, the 40 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: Houston Astros and getting her hair curled, attended rob Elementary. 41 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: Her cousin told her to call her mother, Verona Kamata, 42 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: a kindergarten teacher at another elementary school in Evaldi. Faith 43 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 1: realized something was amiss, but she was not too concerned. 44 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 1: Local schools in and around Valdi frequently have to lock down, 45 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: she said, because people arrested for crossing the border often 46 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: try to outrun police or flee after being detained. Bailout's 47 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: Faith said are common in the area, but rarely has 48 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: she seen them result in anything serious or fatal. To 49 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: buy standers. Still, Faith called her mother, who was in 50 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: a lockdown at her school, but Veronica also thought this 51 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: was yet another bailout was not too worried, but then 52 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: faith cousin texted her back and said there was a 53 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: shooter near Rob Elementary. So Faith made another call to 54 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: her mother, who by now had heard the same thing. 55 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: A gunman was at Rob Elementary, but we thought it 56 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: was under control, Faith said. Soon her father, Jerry Mata, 57 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: and aviation mechanic, drove to Rob Elementary. He and Faith spoke, 58 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: and that's when the elder daughter really realized the gravity 59 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 1: of this situation. My dad showed up and when he 60 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: got to Rob, he said it looked like a scene 61 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: from a movie with all the cops there. She said, 62 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: so I waited for the all clear, but the all 63 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: clear didn't come. I started getting gossip. Another cousin wrote 64 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: me and said she shot. She thought the shooter locked 65 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: himself in a classroom. Faith said, now I was kind 66 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: of freaking out. Faith, who was supposed to report to 67 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: work at an after school daycare, called her bosses and 68 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: took the day off. A roommate, also from Vivaldi, drove 69 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: Faith the two plus hours west to get home on 70 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: the interstate. Faith said she was constantly calling her mother, 71 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: who had gone to the civic center and was waiting 72 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: for school buses carrying evacuated students. She told her mother 73 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: the same thing over and over. You need to let 74 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: me know when they find tests, call me as soon 75 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: as you get her. Faith were called, but they never 76 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: called me back. That's when I knew something was off. Meanwhile, 77 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: Faith was calling area hospitals, one in Evaldi, another in 78 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: San Antonio, but none of them had tests. Where was she? 79 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: Faith remembered thinking, my hope was that she was lost 80 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 1: or hiding somewhere in the school. On Facebook, she tapped 81 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: out a frantic post Facebook, friends, please help, my family 82 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: were looking for my sister. Test Marie Mata she was 83 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: at rab elementary. If y'all have any information you can 84 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: give me, please let me know. When Faith arrived in 85 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: Evaldi in the late afternoon, her friend dropped her off 86 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: at the civic center. Her dad met her out front 87 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: and escorted her to a room inside. They waited with 88 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: other families for any news, but nothing came for hours. 89 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: They sat at large tables where pizza and botted bottled 90 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: water were offered. A lot of the families were not eating. 91 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: Faith said it was all families of students who were 92 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: not accounted for. Many of the families huddled to together. 93 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: She said, hardly any of the families mingled with others. 94 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: Everyone was on their own. Faith were called. I felt 95 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: guilty if I were to eat, I didn't know where 96 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: my sister was. If she wasn't eating, why would I 97 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: get to eat. A lot of the people were on 98 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: the phone or with their heads down. The room was 99 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: silent most of the time. Later in the evening, she said, 100 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: officials came by and started taking DNA swabs of parents. 101 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: They were swabbing their cheeks. She said. The Matas, like 102 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: other families, also had supplied authorities with a photo of tests. 103 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: When they asked for the DNA swabs. It was the 104 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: way they phrased it. They needed them to help identify 105 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: or find a child. Faith were called. I just had 106 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: a bad feeling. At some point deeper into the night, 107 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: Texas law enforcement officials took tests as mother and father 108 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: into a private room at the civic center. A Texas 109 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: ranger broke the news for Veronica said, he just told 110 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: us that Tess was one of the deceased. For owner, 111 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: recalled my husband and I. We embraced. Then I asked 112 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: him for them to bring in faith tests, known by 113 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: many as TESTI was one of the nineteen children and 114 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: two teachers killed that day at rob Elementary. When the 115 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: door opened, Faith all her mother's face, her eyes were glossy. 116 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: She just looked at me like our lives are about 117 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: to change. Faith are called. Inside the room, Faith sat 118 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: down and broke down, but then she held it all 119 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 1: back and addressed the two Texas rangers. They said the 120 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: suspect was dead and that they killed him, and that 121 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: if we needed any counseling, they'd be here for the 122 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: rest of the week. Faith are called. At that point, 123 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: we were just sad about my sister, but at the 124 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: same time, we didn't want to know what happened to 125 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: the gunman. They left the building through a back door 126 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: to avoid the news cruise, but instead of going home, 127 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: they drove to Jerry's parents home, Tests and Faith's grandparents. 128 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: Test was close to them because they drove her to 129 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: school every day and her grandmother always picked her up 130 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: when the matas arrived. All Faith remembers hearing at first 131 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: were the screams. She entered her grandparents home, where her grandfather, 132 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 1: so distraught, fetched a photo of Tested him and sitting 133 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 1: on the mantel. He was just holding it crying. Faith said, 134 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: she's wearing a purple shirt and jeans in that photo. 135 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: The three of them went home. The first thing they 136 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: did was entered Testa's bedroom. Inside they saw the narrative 137 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: of her life, the purple walls, the corkboard with photos 138 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: of her standing next to the Easter Bunny or being 139 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: held in Faith's arms. I love you, Faith, she scrawled 140 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: on the bottom border of the corkboard. On another wall 141 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: was a poster of Houston Astro's second baseman Jose Altuve, 142 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,239 Speaker 1: her favorite player so beloved that she too played second 143 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: base on her softball team. A soccer medal hung from 144 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: the ceiling, dangling next to a soccer trophy and a 145 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: container full of dollar bills. My sister was saving that 146 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: money for a family trip. Faith recalled. She wanted us 147 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: all to go to Disney World. She went a couple 148 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: of years ago, but she loved us so much and 149 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: wanted to go back. We were planning to go once 150 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: I graduated from college next year. Over by her desk 151 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: sat a framed photo of the sister's having lunched in 152 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: San Antonio, next to a glassful of pencils and markers 153 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: in a miniature toy giraffe. A calendar from February hangs 154 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: on the wall. B day is scrawled on February six. 155 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: It was time to go to sleep. Faith had an idea. 156 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: She wanted to sleep in the same bed as her parents. 157 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: She was twenty one, but she felt the need. Then 158 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: another idea. They grabbed tests white pillows, each of them 159 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: printed with butterflies and flowers, and they took her pink 160 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: blanket with pandas all over it. They took everything and 161 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: put it all on Veronica and Jerry's said, now it 162 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: was time to try to fall asleep, all three of 163 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: them together. My mom slept with Tests blanket. We all 164 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: each got one of her pillows. Faith said it smelled 165 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: like Tests.

And just like my eyes 429 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: looked like swollen shut from making this episode. Um, I 430 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: really hope that this isn't for nothing, because like looking back, 431 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: kind of feels sometimes like Sandy Hook was for nothing. 432 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: Didn't do anything to protect those kids. And I don't 433 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: want to go too far into it because I just 434 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: don't feel like it. I just want to go cry. Um. 435 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: But the police response to the shooting was fucking pathetic, 436 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 1: and I saw so many politicians get on Twitter not 437 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: say anything about gun control and not say anything about that. 438 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: About a kid being able to get him on his 439 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: eighteenth birthday, he didn't have a fucking driver's license. They 440 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: didn't say anything about that, but they think the first responders. 441 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: But the first responders waited an hour to go in there. 442 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: And there was a mother who was arrested for trying 443 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 1: to get into the school, and they finally like let 444 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,479 Speaker 1: her go, and she ran in and she got her 445 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: two kids and she went into that building and there 446 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: was like an interview. I swear to god, I fact 447 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 1: checked this. I listened to the whole thing because I 448 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: was like, maybe I'm not understanding the context, Like I 449 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: don't just trust headlines. People use clickbait as a device 450 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: all the time. And one of the like he wasn't 451 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 1: the police chief for like I don't know that for sure, 452 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: but he was like one of the head police officers 453 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: and Valdi and he was talking about it, and he's like, 454 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 1: what the American people need to understand is that if 455 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: the police officers went in there, like they're putting their 456 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: lives at risk, like they could have died. It's like, yeah, 457 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: we fucking no. So they waited an hour and they 458 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: could have saved so many lives. And obviously, like every 459 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: police officer isn't a fault there. They have to listen 460 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 1: to orders, but the ones who made the decisions like, 461 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: funk that funk that. I just I really hope that 462 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: this wasn't all for nothing, and I hope we all 463 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: do whatever we can to let the tragedies that happen 464 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 1: to these little kids, turn them into something that can 465 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: make the world a better place and stop it from happening. Um, 466 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: because we shouldn't have to sacrifice children for our Second 467 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: Amendment right. So that's not how that works. That's fucking stupid. Um. Yeah, 468 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: I don't know how to end this episode other than 469 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: just say, like, hug your people. You just never know. 470 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,479 Speaker 1: I'm Kayleie Shure. This is too much to say, and 471 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: we will be back next week.
