'He just pointed the weapon and fired off,' said the man who confronted the gunman moments before the school shooting in Uvalde.
“I was, like, 10 yards away the time we got right there, he spotted the other two guys first, came out with an automatic weapon, shot at least twice, maybe three times at them,” Vargas said. “Then, that’s when he spotted me, and boy, I mean, I was already in motion to run, and that’s when he -- bam, bam.”“Man, it happened so quick,” Vargas said. “I can only tell you that he did not say anything. I mean, he just pointed the weapon and fired off.
“Seeing them, you know, kids come out of the school, and they were first taken to the funeral home,” Vargas said. “The expression on their little faces, I mean, it’s just horrible to me.” Vargas said he’s still trying to make sense of the pain and horror his community is dealing with first-hand. “It keeps repeating in my mind, you know,” Vargas said. “Like last night, I stayed up real late, and I’m saying, ‘Man, what could I have done different?’”
