A 10-year-old Uvalde student searched for Band-Aids to help her wounded friend while she called 911 pleading for help

• A trapped Uvalde student begged police dispatch to send help, according to audio obtained by CNN.
• The fourth-grader told police she was searching for Band-Aids to help her wounded friend, CNN reported.

A student trapped inside of Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, during the mass shooting begged a police dispatcher to send help during gut-wrenching, newly surfaced 911 audio.

Then-10-year-old Khloie Torres made her first 911 call at 12:10 p.m. during the shooting on May 24, telling a dispatcher: "Please hurry. There is a lot of dead bodies," according to the audio obtained and published by CNN.

"Please get help. I don't wanna die. My teacher is dead. Oh, my God," the fourth-grader — who survived the shooting and is now 11 — pleaded to the dispatcher.

At 12:12 p.m., Torres begged the dispatcher: "I need help … please. Have y'all captured the person?"

The child was repeatedly told by the dispatcher to stay quiet and to keep her wounded, moaning friends quiet, CNN reported.

"I'm telling everyone to be quiet but nobody is listening to me," the student told the dispatcher, according to CNN. "I understand what to do in these situations. My dad taught me when I was a little girl. Send help."

Torres revealed to police how she was trying to help her friends while the gunman was in an adjoining classroom.

"I stood up to look for Band-Aids 'cause my friend had a big cut," Torres said, according to CNN.

Despite Torres' calls for help and a massive amount of law enforcement officers already on the scene, it took another 40 minutes before authorities breached the classroom door and fatally shot the gunman.

In total, it took authorities more than an hour for police to confront the gunman. Law enforcement's botched response to the massacre — which left dead 19 students and two teachers — has come under heavy scrutiny.

The child's father, Ruben Torres, a former US Marine, told CNN that the actions by his daughter that day "were absolutely incredible."

As for law enforcement who responded, the dad said, "None of them had courage that day."
