tesberi mata was hoping to go to bravo. nevaeh bravo also 10. these are the stories that you will hear this morning. a fourth grade teacher who sacrificed herself protecting the children, a grieving father who found out his daughter died trying to save her classmates. today the bodies of the victims who have not yet been released will be to the families, to funeral homes, for arrangements. we do have new details about how this mass shooting unfolded. the 18-year-old shooter was on school grounds for up to an hour before law enforcement shot and killed him. moments before his deadly attack he apparently sent a series of chilling text messages to a girl in germany that he had met online. an officer also confronted the shooter, but he still managed to get inside the building, dropping a bag full of ammunition before entering. we will have more on that
