‘SHE SAID SHE’S SHOT’: The officer was previously criticized for appearing to check his phone during the shooting.
Video footage published earlier this month by the Austin American-Statesman showed Ruiz appearing to check his phone while the shooter was just down the hall. The clip ignited a wave of criticism on media outlets, social media, and by some lawmakers.
Teacher Eva Mireles, one of the victims of the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, is seen in this undated photo obtained from social media. "This really makes my blood boil," former speaker of the Colorado House of Representatives Terrance Carroll tweeted."This officer is checking his phone while kids & teachers are literally dying a few doors down."
It was later revealed that Ruiz was trying to connect with his wife, who died in an ambulance on the way to the hospital.
