NEW YORK — Seven months after she was working at a Texas elementary school the day a shooter killed 19 students and two teachers, Emilia 'Amy' Marin sat down one Tuesday afternoon to read dozens of letters that had arrived from all over the country.

In October, Marin told her story to ABC News in a report that led to a showering of sympathy that has not stopped. During that interview with ABC News correspondent John Quiñones, Marin's body shook with tremors, a symptom of the emotional distress doctors and therapists blame on the psychological aftermath of the mass shooting. She spoke with a stutter, suffering from anxiety and depression.
In the days following the school shooting, the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety said an unnamed"teacher" had used a rock to prop open a Robb Elementary School back door, and it was through that opening the shooter entered the building on May 24 and began his rampage. DPS spokesman Travis Considine said,"DPS corrected this error in public announcements and testimony and apologizes to the teacher and her family for the additional grief this has caused to an already horrific situation." And he stressed that Marin's name was not publicly released by his agency.
In the months since the shooting, Marin said it had been too painful to travel the short distance to Robb Elementary because, she said, it felt like a part of her died with the victims that day. As her daughter embraced her, Marin said she could hear the gunshots in her head. And moments later, as a helicopter flew overhead, Marin squeezed her eyes shut and instinctively, her daughter placed her hands over her mother's ears in an effort to calm her. Loud noises continue to trigger Marin's post-traumatic stress.
