More about Alexandria Rubio, who died in the Texas massacre
Alexandria Aniyah Rubio, 10, a fourth-grader at Robb Elementary, was seen grinning in a family photo uploaded on Facebook by her mother on Tuesday, showing the little girl holding an "A" Honor Roll certificate for good grades.
About 30 minutes after her parents left the school post a celebration for Alexandria's good grades, a juvenile gunman stormed Alexandria’s classroom, killing her along with 18 other classmates. Additionally, the two instructors are said to have sacrificed their lives shielding students in the bloodiest school massacre in Texas.
Her mother, Kimberly, is completely shattered after losing her young one. Following her demise, she took to Facebook to post,
“My beautiful, smart, Alexandria Aniyah Rubio was recognized today for the All-A honor roll. She also received the good citizen award. We told her we loved her and would pick her up after school. We had no idea this was goodbye.”
Alexandria’s parents told CNN,
“She was kind, sweet and appreciated life. She was going to be an all-star in softball and had a bright future, whether it’s sports or academics. Please let the world know we miss our baby.”
