Uvalde Mom Who Jumped Fence To Save Kids Says Was Threatened By Officials Not To Speak Out

UVALDE COUNTY, TX. (THECOUNT) — Angeli Rose Gomez, the mom who took matters into her own hands to save her children during an active shooter situation in Uvalde, Texas, is claiming she was threatened by officials about speaking out.

After being placed in handcuffs, Gomez reportedly convinced one of the officers to release her. Upon being freed, she jumped a fence, ran into the school herself even as shots were still reportedly being fired, and fled with her children.

According to Gomez, she was later contacted by law enforcement officials who threatened her with a probation violation for obstruction of justice if she keeps talking with the media.

An officer, she said, had issued the warning in reference to a charge from over a decade prior. But Gomez, after hearing from the judge in that case, says she was given the green light to keep speaking out against the police response.

“Nothing was being done,” the Uvalde mom said in an interview with CBS News. “If anything, they were being more aggressive against us parents who were willing to go in.”
