“No estamos bien”: los maestros reaccionan con temor y dolor a la masacre
10h ago / 3:39 PM UTC
Maestros de todo el país han relatado lo difícil que les resulta volver a las aulas tras el tiroteo que dejó 19 niños y dos docentes muertos en Texas.
Una maestra contó a NBC News que se sentó en su salón de clases llorando durante el almuerzo el día después de la masacre. Otro docente relató que observaba a los estudiantes “como un halcón” cada vez que una puerta se abría. Y un maestro de 40 años dijo que ahora piensa en su escuela como una zona de guerra.
Estén al pendiente de sus amigos maestros. No estamos bien. Recibir un disparo no debería ser un ‘riesgo laboral’ para los maestros, y definitivamente no para los estudiantes. Ni siquiera nos pagan un salario digno, sin embargo, cada uno de nosotros hace todo lo posible por estos niños todos los días, y garantizo que cada maestro daría su vida por sus alumnos si se tratara de eso".
Laura G., teacher in Dallas, Texas
Responsible for much more than educating their students, educators across the country are once again on the front lines of the crisis.

The murderer was not undocumented or transgender: users spread false information about Ramos
11h Aug / 3:06 PM UTC
Two days after the massacre, conspiracy theories and news or false information are multiplying on social networks and platforms such as Reddit about the tragedy and the attacker, Salvador Ramos, and his possible motives.
Some users have claimed he was an immigrant living in the US illegally, but authorities have indicated the 18-year-old
was a US citizen
.
En Twitter, se difundió una imagen de una mujer transgénero, llamada Sabrina, y se dijo falsamente que ella era quien había perpetuado el tiroteo. “Todo esto es un calvario horrible”, dijo la mujer en una entrevista con The Associated Press desde Nueva York, donde vive. Otras fotos difundidas mostraban a una mujer llamada Sam, que es en realidad una usuaria de Reddit, afirmando falsamente que era Ramos.
Las publicaciones falsas han estado acompañadas de conocidas teorías de conspiración que sugerían que todo el tiroteo fue una escenificación de alguna manera. Los reclamos reflejan problemas más amplios en relación al racismo y la intolerancia hacia las personas transgénero, y son un esfuerzo por culpar del tiroteo a grupos minoritarios que ya soportan de por sí las tasas más altas de acoso en línea y crímenes de odio, según indicó el experto en desinformación Jaime Longoria a AP.
"It's a tactic that serves two purposes: It
prevents real conversations about the issue (of gun violence) and it gives people who don't want to face reality a scapegoat
, it gives them someone to blame," Longoria said, director of research at the Disinfo Defense League, a nonprofit organization that works to combat racist misinformation.

12h Aug / 1:25 PM UTC
La madre del asesino de 18 años que mató a 21 personas en la escuela de Uvalde dijo en una entrevista con la cadena de noticias ABC News que su hijo “no era un monstruo”, pero sí que podía “ser agresivo”.
“Tenía una sensación incómoda a veces, como que me surgía decir: ‘¿qué estás haciendo?’”, indicó Adriana Reyes, en una entrevista desde su casa. “Él puede ser agresivo... cuando realmente se enoja”, detalló.
Salvador Ramos compró dos rifles de asalto tras cumplir 18 años. Su madre dijo que no sabía que había adquirido esas armas y dio sus condolencias a las familias de las víctimas en varias oportunidades en la entrevista.
“Esos niños… no tengo palabras”, dijo Reyes entre lágrimas, "no sé qué decir sobre esos pobres niños".
Tras la tragedia, conocidos del joven indicaron que sufrió acoso de niño. Lo retrataron como como una persona retraída, casi sin amigos, y violenta.
Algunos compañeros de clase relataron este miércoles a ABC News que Ramos era conocido por pelear y amenazar a sus compañeros. Dijeron que tenía un comportamiento cada vez más perturbador en los últimos dos años, amenazando al menos a un compañero de clase y acosando a otros.
Esto es lo que se sabe sobre cómo era el asesino, a partir del relato de quienes le conocían, y de lo que hizo en la masacre paso a paso.

Testigos aseguran que tuvieron que instar a los policías a entrar para detener al atacante
12h ago / 1:15 PM UTC
Testigos de la masacre en la escuela han relatado este miércoles que tuvieron que instar a los agentes de policía que ingresaran a la institución ante la presencia del atacante, que terminó matando a tiros a 19 niños y dos maestros.
“¡Entren ahí! ¡Entren allí!”, gritaron mujeres que estaban cerca de la escuela a los oficiales poco después de que comenzó el tiroteo, según relató Juan Carranza, de 24 años, quien vio la escena desde el exterior de su casa, al otro lado de la calle de la escuela primaria Robb en la ciudad unida de Uvalde. Carranza dijo a The Associated Press que los oficiales no entraron de inmediato.
Javier Cazares, cuya hija de cuarto grado, Jacklyn Cazares, murió en el ataque, contó además que corrió a la escuela cuando se enteró del tiroteo y llegó mientras la policía aún estaba reunida afuera del edificio. Molesto porque los agentes no se estaban moviendo, planteó la idea de entrar a la escuela con otros transeúntes. “No estaban preparados [los oficiales]”, indicó.
Investigators, meanwhile, are moving to determine how the shooting, which lasted more than 40 minutes and ended when the 18-year-old shooter was killed by a Border Patrol team, occurred.
Authorities have said that the attacker "ran into" a school district security officer outside the school (although they are unclear as to whether there were any exchanges with this officer).
Once he entered the building, he shot two Uvalde police officers who were arriving outside the school, who were injured.
He then barricaded himself in a classroom and began killing those present.
