Eight-year-old Jeremiah Lennon hugs his puppy, named Peanut, at his home in Uvalde, Texas, on May 28, 2022. The third grader had been in classroom 112, just next to the rooms where the shooter holed up. The 15 kids in his class sat on the floor in the corner, as quiet as they could be, he said. The gunman tried to get in, but the door was locked. Jeremiah said he was mad at first, because they were missing recess. He was also terrified: "I was scared I would get shot, my friends would get shot." #
