Timeline By Numbers

Rating: 5.0


Day 1,1 turns 18
Day 2,1 obtains 1 AR-15
Day 3,1 has 375 rounds then
Day 5,1 gets 1 more gun

Day 9,1 has 3 ‘1-on-1' messages
1 will shoot grandma; 2 has shot grandma
(1 survives! Please bring 1 bandage)
And 3 will shoot-up 1 school, ya

11: 28am,1 drives 2 miles
Robb Elementary in 1 horizon
1 crashes 1 truck
1 exits on 1 other side, as 1 is stuck
1 has 1 backpack full of ammo
1 brings 1 of 1's rifles 2
1 1st targets 1 funeral home across 1 street
11: 30am,911 receives 1 report of 1 crash n' gun-heat

11: 40am,1 enters 1 unlocked door on 1 side
11: 43am,1 school posts 1 lockdown, all hide
11: 44am,1'st officers arrive
They spot 1 suspect live

1 walks 20 feet into 1 school; 1 round empties
Officers,1 take cover, and 2 exit
1 turns right n' walks another 20
The 1's outside then just sit

1 enters 1 classroom on 1's left
25 shots heard,1 guessed
0 officers regrouping
12: 17pm,1 Uvalde School District tweets 1 shooting
12: 30pm,1 fire department shows up 2 help (with traffic!)
12: 45pm, finally 1 border patrol tactical team arrives 2 1 havoc
At last 1 Ramos is killed
1 (2 late) rescue operation is then built

1: 06pm,1st police report
1 dead shooter, don't need 1 court
19 children,2 teachers need 21 caskets
1 NRA is still helping with 1's tax cuts

1 Garcia was 48
1 Mireles was 44
1 Mathis and 1 Salazar were 11
1 Bravo,1 Elrod,1 Flores Jr,1 Lopez,1 Luevanos,1 Mata,1 Ramirez,1 Rubio,1 Silguero,2 Rodriguez',2 Torres' and 2 more Garcia's were 10
1 Cazares and yet 1 more Garcia were only 9

1 system, sucked,
The numbers just don't add up
