@@heyman6821 that's not succeeding in any way you're just another coward. If you think shooting people who are unarmed is a fair fight and succeeding in any way you are literally the definition of a coward.
Sounded like she still went to school and graduated from Simon Douglas. I think she is very remarkable, strong, and brave. Not seeing where you got shot from or the gunman has to be terrifying.
Shot 4 times….and she walked in that courtroom without hesitation. Thank you for giving your testimony. I’m so happy to see that you have kept going and didn’t let that monster’s actions hold you back.
Absolutely heartbreaking what she had to deal with during her youth. She should be focused on enjoying life. Not having it stripped from her. He's a monster in sheep's clothing and should be locked under the prison.

@@bruceleeyourface3253 someone needs to tell the parents who want the execution that they must say to the judge that the execution should be carried out immediately after the sentencing. Why? It’s because the death penalty takes a long time in the United States. It can take years.
I love how she walked in with her head up & how they all left immediately but not like victims who want to get away. More like people who feel he doesn’t deserve their presence or something of that nature. They’re strong people. I like that.
She walked in there with a purpose. All of these unbelievably strong women & men, deserved better. Their youth & sense of security was stolen from them. Thank you for the strength you showed, & for speaking for the victims, that can no longer tell their story.

@@doomdoom7460 Because soldiers don't end up with injuries like this and recover after countless surgeries and therapy? Everybody that gets shot just is in a wheelchair? What is the logic here since you're a medical professional that has some sort of expertise? Yall are so weird.
Yeah you might even say superwoman right? Two close range shots to the chest and one to the abdomen - not to mention the arm? From an AR15? Then she's seen at a news conference two days later not even labored and breathing? What an amazing superhuman she must be.
She’s stronger than a lot of us…I’ve been through a lot of pain both mentally and physically but being shot by a school shooter is definitely another type of pain that I couldn’t imagine.
Not only is it amazing to realize this girl survived being shot 4 times but its truly amazing that first responders got to her, discovered her and got her out in time to give her a fighting chance. They could’ve given up given the trauma. Let’s not forget there’s a medical team after them that saved her as well. I hope this girl can move on and has a wonderful life.
Trauma surgeons see this type of crap all the time, they know the biggest thing is getting blood into them as soon as possible, everything else does not matter, my brother got shot at point blank range through his gut and they had a bunch of his entrails out on examining them to see which could be saved and what needed to be cut out and sown up, the biggest issue was not having the wound become infected afterward because the gut has alot of bacteria and infection can ultimately kill if not treated correctly.
Unfortunately she was one of the few lucky ones. Paramedics were repeatedly denied entry into the building so that they could help the wounded, even after the shooter was arrested. There were many, many preventable deaths that day.
For them to find her alive amongst so many that were killed is very amazing especially since she wasn't breathing just the same as them... She is a living breathing miracle.
texas rangers just flew around in the helicopters sightseeing at the Uvalde elementary school murder scene. While children needed airlifts to trauma centers, texas rangers helicopters (plural) helped zero children. While children and teacher bled to death and died from shock. A school bus 'NOT' an AMBULANCE was first used to transport dying children, without doctors available. Meanwhile the ELITE texas rangers brought zero dying children to hospitals. Zero? Medic helicopters were ordered to sit at the airport 3 miles away. While the children bled to death.
I can’t imagine what she went through. The fear. I don’t understand why anyone would want to make someone else feel that way. Or to take a life for that matter. It’s disgusting to me. I don’t get how anyone can do this.
I see it as they're too caught up in their own feelings and disregard others.

@@markmilan8365 it’s not a competition as to who has it worse… This video is about the horrific nightmare that this girl survived so my comment is about her.
As a mother, listening to her tell her story about what happened that day… it’s heartbreaking. But at the same time she seemed to have all the confidence in the world walking into that courtroom and testifying. That’s amazing! You go girl!
Nothing but respect to the young lady for how she presented herself in this courtroom. Head held high, walking strongly. What an inspiring young woman.
thank you for your service. i saw a statistic recently that said more american children were killed by guns this year than police officers and soldiers. definitely a sad world.
Her composure during her statement and just in general is amazing. God bless her. All these shootings are so sad and devastating. I will never understand what motivates people to shoot innocent kids and people.
It's fairly simple in a disgusting way. These people are typically outcasts with mental illness and want recognition. We coddle these mental illnesses and pretend like it's totally fine with little to no support from the juggernaut that is the American health care system. Since most folks just can't afford the care, they go unchecked. It only takes a one or two of these nut jobs to show our society will put them on a pedestal and give them the attention they want, regardless of how they got there. Now the kid is famous forever, all because we ignore mental health and talk about the killers instead of the victims.
@@davidritchie9344 I understand all that. And still it's all culture vultures now. Some people think it's cool to have gang wars and kill as many people as they can. Smh
We'll never understand evil, nor can we prevent it. All you can do is hope and pray you're never a victim of it and try to be vigilant and prepared in case it ever does comes knocking.
Wow i can’t believe how well she handled those questions. And with her family, showing strength while operating in love. Im so glad she didnt lose her life.
The resilience of this woman is awe inspiring. To go through something like this and go on to not skip a beat and further your education, and live your life anyways. I’m glad she got the opportunity to make him hear what he did to her.
I’m absolutely blown away that this is the girl from the pictures of the aftermath in that room. She looked gone and I was SO happy to hear she survived. For her to walk in there head held high and almost with an attitude, I love her. Be brave Madeline. You are a hero.
@@nuracaicedo2632 shes your hero because she got shot? doesnt even make sense. why dont you just idolize a solider or something who gets shot over seas to actually protect you, this girl did nothing heroic.
@@bruhmomento2985 You mean to tell me the woman on the stand isn't a victim?? Seriously. Every survivor is a victim. Every parent of the deceased is a victim. Think about it.
I hate that she had to go through this, but I absolutely love that she's going to be one of the reasons he's never going to see sunlight again. That thing is an abomination to humanity.
He was already never gonna see the sunlight again but they want the death penalty. Not taking any credit away from here bc what she went through was terrible and having to relive it but yeah he was already gonna be in for life
There’s nothing wrong with being a victim, you know. She was shot. Even if she wasn’t as confident, even if she wasn’t able to continue her life the way she is, that wouldn’t make her any less strong or brave after going through what she went through. Reflect on the implications of your words.
everyone who went through that and those who lived to testify against him are strong and courageous people. it’s horrifying to think that people like cruz still walk this planet and it’s only a matter of time before another mass shooting occurs. may everyone who died from his actions rest in peace and everyone who lived through it get their justice and live the lives they wish to.
And why nobody talk bout that usa and countrys like usa only have problems like that? There was one shooting in the last 8 years in my home with millions of people. As long as you live like you did before you will have more
Can’t imagine how scared this poor girl must have been at the time knowing you’ve been shot and starting to feel your self passing out must have been the scariest thing to go through, in that moment must truly have felt like she was dying
Graduating from the same school that you got shot in is unreal. After such a traumatic event, that is such bravery, could never imagine how I would feel in that situation.
I can’t imagine the horror this poor young woman has gone through. RIP to all those deceased and I hope any survivors are able to work through what happened to them
It's just amazing how these victims tell there story and seeing themselves mature and became a character by going to college or work is really best for them. Just sad how the tragic impacted there life but they still trying to move on from it little by little
Remarkable that she kept her composure. It has been years, and a blessing that she passed out and didn’t experience what others went through who had to watch and also be shot during this horrible act. So happy that she survived. Can’t imagine the pain she has been through with her injuries and not to mention medical bills. No amount of punishment he can go through on this earth can pay for what he has done. May the ultimate justice on earth be served for such an evil act.
Brave girl! What I love the most about this is the shooter had to sit there and listen to her amazing survival story, the fact that she went on to graduate high-school and the fact that she is a Junior in college with a bright future ahead of her. May she have an amazing life!
People really need to remember what remains after recovering from gunshot wounds. You can see her walk and carry herself as if nothing happened to her, but there are still life threatening burdens remaining which were mentioned during her testimony. All too often people don't think about the burdens left on a person from life threatening injury recoveries if the person isn't in a wheelchair or doesn't have an amputation.
I got chills listening to this brave woman. Brought tears to my eyes. I was planning to send my children to MSD, but they ended up at Taravella. I can’t imagine her pain, and that monster is still in the room… BREATHING. 🤬
@@teo5836 that’s quite a reach . I’m good with it . You taking up for a murderer . You’re just like him . Dead children don’t bother you . I stand by my comment 100 percent .

I hope that was a cathartic experience for her while she was being so so brave. She was very articulate while reliving the trauma and detailing her ongoing damage. What a resilient woman……💖
Don’t judge someone as “strong” just because she didn’t have “a crack in her voice.” Some people who have gone through trauma, end up being stoic and don’t show many emotions from not being able to “feel” anymore. It’s ok if she did “have a crack in her voice,” cried, etc..it would be perfectly normal and expected from what she experienced. So tired of hearing, “no emotions=strong.” Also, I noticed that both she and her brother seem to have that same stoic expression. It could just be their normal personality to not show much emotion through their facial expressions. They usually get this from one or both of their parents like it’s just a genetic thing in their family.
@@RandomGuyyy there’s a difference between being ‘triggered’ and correctly advising someone that to express emotions does not signify any deficit in strength. They’re giving correct information, hardly reacting out of emotion or anger. If you’re upset by that, you’re the one who’s triggered.
This young lady is what real GUTS are made of. Godspeed young Maddie- I pray for you a long and healthy life with all of its blessings. Brave, beautiful young lady. Her parents should be so proud.
Miss Wilford, you have been through so very much at such a young age. Keep growing, learning and stay strong. Your will and determination to survive are unsurpassed . God bless you on your life’s journey. 🙏
This still breaks my heart 💔 One of my children went to this school just prior to this tragic event 😥. Praying 🙏 for all involved. May he be given the fullest extent of the law ⚖️
@@iamwhoiam7887 Not everyone is defined by their experiences. You may picture yourself as you describe her future, but only she alone can make those choices.
@@cbjones2212 “When something bad happens you have three choices. You can let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you.” ~Author unknown. Again, not everyone is defined by their experiences. It’s a choice, not a life sentence. To define someone is to label them, as if they are a product of an experience. Terrible things happen, but that does not have to define who that person is. I believe that the word “define” is being misinterpreted, and would rather say that a person is most certainly influenced by their experiences.
Brave and beautiful. I hope that she has found peace and can move on from such an unfortunate tragedy. Sounds like she's got a great head on her shoulders. I hope the shooter has a terrible time everyday.
She’s amazing. Such a strong soul. She managed to survive this disgusting moment. You’re going to live an amazing life going forward ❤️ Her confidence walking in there was powerful.
I just want to shout out the parents for the strength to sit through this. I’m a parent and I feel for them deeply. If I had seen him cover his ears during that taping I would’ve forgotten immediately where I was at. But truth be told this man is condemned already. This is not a day anybody would sign up for. Even the judge looked mortified during the playing of the audio from one of the young lady’s phone.
I remember back when I happened seeing the Snapchat video thinking she was dead. I’m so glad she’s physically recovered, but I’m sure mentally that’s always gonna be there. I’m thankful to be able to hear her story in her words. Hearing it from the victims and their families is way different than reading some news.
@@rachelkmeck one of the videos shown in court where only audio was released to the public was a video one of the students took on Snapchat that day. I was unfortunate enough to be shared that video back when it happened. It was inside the classroom where carmen died and and maddy was injured, you could see both in the video. I’m positive that was one of the videos shown. Truest horrific images I’ll never forget.
@@oceanstaiga5928 the student who recorded some of the videos shared it on Reddit. I seen them and it looked like Maddy was dead sitting against the podium and the teachers desk, surprised she survived.
My blood ran cold when I realized her attacker sat with her brother just moments after shooting her. Although she's alive she will not ever be totally okay. My heart goes out to her and her family.
What a brave young women to be able to talk through that whole situation without breaking down I hope she and all the other victims get the justice they deserve
you tell em! I absolutely love her bold walk and expression, there’s so much power in surviving trauma ❤️may she get the peace she deserves along with everyone affected
The murderer must be given a death sentence so that others thinking about “becoming famous” by committing mass shootings thinks twice before they act! A life sentence does not provide a deterrent effect!
I’m proud of her, I graduated 2022, I’m really proud of her, I look up to her a lot, I wish her the best, and pray she’s healing as well as the other survivors.
I saw the biography on this & the video of it's aftermath, at first the responders thought she was dead leaning up against the wall, but then they found a pulse, it was the most saddest video to see her slumped over as though see was already gone. She is truly a warrior, God Bless her & her family 🌹💗
I'm glad she was unconscious for much of the massacre, and extremely so that she is able to walk and talk normally. The memory and scars will be with her forever. The punk remains silent in the courtroom, looking down and drooling while studiously scribbling in a coloring book.
What a brave young woman. I hope she’s getting all the support she needs. I can’t imagine what it would be like in a school shooting. I hope her and the ones who have survived are getting support and help if they need it. I hope those who are deceased are in a better place where they no longer need to fear for their lives.
What an amazing young woman! She is an example of someone who go didn’t let their circumstances define them! May she get everything she could possibly want in life ❤️
Amazing young woman, so proud of her. I wasn't hit but my best friend was shot in the head during a shooting and that screwed me up so bad. Wish I had the courage back then, that this young lady has shown. Wish her the best.
She's alive because of doctors, not because of a miracle. A miracle would be the gun jamming so nobody got shot, I think what you meant to say is this is America

She did not do anything fancy or professional to "survive," she simply got shot and a well trained emergency medical service team rescued her. I don't understand why people need to idolize people for being victims. She's just a normal person who survived an attack, hundreds of millions of people are like her, shes not a hero or anything.

Welcome to America .. and yes indeed thank you for serving our country
Thank you for your service !
thank you for your service. i saw a statistic recently that said more american children were killed by guns this year than police officers and soldiers. definitely a sad world.
Thank you for your service ❤️🇺🇸
And still America won't restrict guns.
Her composure during her statement and just in general is amazing. God bless her. All these shootings are so sad and devastating. I will never understand what motivates people to shoot innocent kids and people.
It's fairly simple in a disgusting way. These people are typically outcasts with mental illness and want recognition. We coddle these mental illnesses and pretend like it's totally fine with little to no support from the juggernaut that is the American health care system. Since most folks just can't afford the care, they go unchecked. It only takes a one or two of these nut jobs to show our society will put them on a pedestal and give them the attention they want, regardless of how they got there. Now the kid is famous forever, all because we ignore mental health and talk about the killers instead of the victims.
@@davidritchie9344 I understand all that. And still it's all culture vultures now. Some people think it's cool to have gang wars and kill as many people as they can. Smh
We'll never understand evil, nor can we prevent it. All you can do is hope and pray you're never a victim of it and try to be vigilant and prepared in case it ever does comes knocking.

He was already never gonna see the sunlight again but they want the death penalty. Not taking any credit away from here bc what she went through was terrible and having to relive it but yeah he was already gonna be in for life
He deserves to be placed in... Iron Maiden.. what a creep he is.
What a courageous, intelligent, beautiful young woman. Wow. Outstanding. She’s not a victim, she’s a strong survivor.
She’s both
There’s nothing wrong with being a victim, you know. She was shot. Even if she wasn’t as confident, even if she wasn’t able to continue her life the way she is, that wouldn’t make her any less strong or brave after going through what she went through. Reflect on the implications of your words.
What choice did she have?
shes a victim too
everyone who went through that and those who lived to testify against him are strong and courageous people. it’s horrifying to think that people like cruz still walk this planet and it’s only a matter of time before another mass shooting occurs. may everyone who died from his actions rest in peace and everyone who lived through it get their justice and live the lives they wish to.
And why nobody talk bout that usa and countrys like usa only have problems like that?
There was one shooting in the last 8 years in my home with millions of people.
As long as you live like you did before you will have more

She was dying really. What a strong woman and amazing care brilliant hands of those who saved her
Graduating from the same school that you got shot in is unreal. After such a traumatic event, that is such bravery, could never imagine how I would feel in that situation.

Look at how he’s cowering down. But his chest was high the day he decided to hurt these innocent people.
Easy with a gun, but he is not the only one to blame.
They should strip his head up and glue his eyes open. It makes me sick to the stomach that he is hiding!
A true inhuman coward
What a brave young woman, she's a stonewall. May the victims get justice.
It's just amazing how these victims tell there story and seeing themselves mature and became a character by going to college or work is really best for them. Just sad how the tragic impacted there life but they still trying to move on from it little by little
She’s not a stonewall at all. She’s totes a Douglas.

I’m so proud of her for overcoming this, mentally mostly. I don’t know how my mind would process this. You’re amazing.
Remarkable that she kept her composure. It has been years, and a blessing that she passed out and didn’t experience what others went through who had to watch and also be shot during this horrible act. So happy that she survived. Can’t imagine the pain she has been through with her injuries and not to mention medical bills. No amount of punishment he can go through on this earth can pay for what he has done. May the ultimate justice on earth be served for such an evil act.
That was really brave of her on so many levels, u really have to respect her and how strong she is , my respect and prayers go out to her .
Speechless. This young lady is so composed and brave…it’s crazy how anyone can do that after such a traumatic event..
Brave girl! What I love the most about this is the shooter had to sit there and listen to her amazing survival story, the fact that she went on to graduate high-school and the fact that she is a Junior in college with a bright future ahead of her. May she have an amazing life!
She’s got a confident walk leaving the courtroom. What an incredible young woman.
What an absolute legend. Best of luck to her in life, she's a stonewall.
People really need to remember what remains after recovering from gunshot wounds. You can see her walk and carry herself as if nothing happened to her, but there are still life threatening burdens remaining which were mentioned during her testimony. All too often people don't think about the burdens left on a person from life threatening injury recoveries if the person isn't in a wheelchair or doesn't have an amputation.
I got chills listening to this brave woman. Brought tears to my eyes. I was planning to send my children to MSD, but they ended up at Taravella. I can’t imagine her pain, and that monster is still in the room… BREATHING. 🤬

As a dad I find it extremely difficult to hear this young lady speak of this tragedy.
What a strong woman.respect
What a brave young woman. Her family and friends must be so incredibly proud.
I hope that was a cathartic experience for her while she was being so so brave. She was very articulate while reliving the trauma and detailing her ongoing damage. What a resilient woman……💖
So strong, not even a crack in her voice. I hope and pray justice is served.
Don’t judge someone as “strong” just because she didn’t have “a crack in her voice.”
Some people who have gone through trauma, end up being stoic and don’t show many emotions from not being able to “feel” anymore.
It’s ok if she did “have a crack in her voice,” cried, etc..it would be perfectly normal and expected from what she experienced.
So tired of hearing, “no emotions=strong.”
Also, I noticed that both she and her brother seem to have that same stoic expression. It could just be their normal personality to not show much emotion through their facial expressions. They usually get this from one or both of their parents like it’s just a genetic thing in their family.

@@RandomGuyyy yep I agree
@@RandomGuyyy 100%
@@RandomGuyyy there’s a difference between being ‘triggered’ and correctly advising someone that to express emotions does not signify any deficit in strength. They’re giving correct information, hardly reacting out of emotion or anger. If you’re upset by that, you’re the one who’s triggered.

“When something bad happens you have three choices. You can let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you.” ~Author unknown.
Again, not everyone is defined by their experiences. It’s a choice, not a life sentence. To define someone is to label them, as if they are a product of an experience. Terrible things happen, but that does not have to define who that person is. I believe that the word “define” is being misinterpreted, and would rather say that a person is most certainly influenced by their experiences.
The fact that this man has a defense attorney is mind boggling.
She’s a strong woman
I’m so inspired and humbled by her. Bless this woman for the rest of her life. I cannot imagine the trauma.
Brave and beautiful. I hope that she has found peace and can move on from such an unfortunate tragedy. Sounds like she's got a great head on her shoulders. I hope the shooter has a terrible time everyday.
She’s amazing. Such a strong soul. She managed to survive this disgusting moment.
You’re going to live an amazing life going forward ❤️
Her confidence walking in there was powerful.
I just want to shout out the parents for the strength to sit through this. I’m a parent and I feel for them deeply. If I had seen him cover his ears during that taping I would’ve forgotten immediately where I was at. But truth be told this man is condemned already. This is not a day anybody would sign up for. Even the judge looked mortified during the playing of the audio from one of the young lady’s phone.
It takes a certain level of strength to relive this in front of an audience.
It must be the most eerie and hard feeling to deal with being in the same room with someone who is so evil I can't even imagine!
They should barricade him somehow so victims do NOT have to see him.

I’m positive that was one of the videos shown. Truest horrific images I’ll never forget.

My blood ran cold when I realized her attacker sat with her brother just moments after shooting her. Although she's alive she will not ever be totally okay. My heart goes out to her and her family.
What a brave young women to be able to talk through that whole situation without breaking down I hope she and all the other victims get the justice they deserve
you tell em! I absolutely love her bold walk and expression, there’s so much power in surviving trauma ❤️may she get the peace she deserves along with everyone affected
The murderer must be given a death sentence so that others thinking about “becoming famous” by committing mass shootings thinks twice before they act! A life sentence does not provide a deterrent effect!
