11-year-old Mia Serio took advantage of a kitchen that took place in an elementary school in Texas.
In an interview with CNN, she told today (Friday) about the tragic incident and how she survived the shooting.

The girl also said that she and her classmates watched the movie "Lilo and Stitch" when the teachers were informed that there was a shooter in the building.

According to her, bullets flew near her, and fractures hit her shoulders and head.
She was later treated at the hospital and released.
Mia said that after shooting students in her class, the shooter passed through a door into a nearby classroom - and she heard screams, and the sound of gunfire in that class.
However, after the shootings stopped, the shooter made sad music.
She described music as a kind of "you want people to die".
The girl and her friends were able to dial from the phone of one of the teachers to the emergency center.
"It felt like I was lying there for three hours, covered in the blood of my girlfriend," she recounted, bursting into tears.
"I just do not understand why the cops did not go in and rescue them."
