Uvalde hero Border Patrol agent speaks out on ‘complete chaos,’ rushing in to save students

The heroic border patrol agent who rushed into Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, during the mass shooting last week spoke out to Fox News on Tuesday.

Border Patrol agent Jacob Albarado was off duty, he told “The Ingraham Angle,” as Uvalde lies about 80 miles from the Coahuila border town of Piedras Negras.

Agent Albarado procured his barber’s shotgun and raced on foot to the school.

He described the scene as “complete chaos, pretty much,” adding he was finally able to speak to his wife on the phone after she escaped her classroom and joined others who fled to a nearby funeral home.

While his wife had escaped, Jacob Albarado said he was also concerned about his daughter Jayda, a student at Robb. 

Jayda Albarado was reportedly locked in a bathroom while a law enforcement tactical team was forming to enter the school wing where Ramos was holed up.

Jacob Albarado began clearing all the classrooms in Jayda’s wing, armed with the barber’s shotgun. Dozens of children fled as the rooms were cleared.

“It was just complete chaos. Everybody was concerned for their child,” he recalled. “I was able to get on campus… I wasn’t just trying to save my child, I was trying to get as many…
