U.S. Pledges Aid To Syria But Feels It'd Be 'Ironic' To Reach Out To Assad State Department spokesperson Ned Price said the U.S. is ready to assist those affected by the earthquake in Syria, but asserted that it would not engage with the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Speaking at a press briefing Monday, Price said, "it would be quite ironic—if not even counterproductive—for us to reach out to a government that has brutalized its people over the course of a dozen years."

Emilia "Amy" Marin, faced with a gunman heading toward a Texas elementary school in May, said she tried frantically to save the lives of students. She closed an exterior door, called 911 and shouted to alert people inside Robb Elementary School.
At home three days later, Marin heard the top police official in Texas blame her for allowing the killer to get inside the building. A retraction would be issued within days, but Marin's life would never be the same, she said.
"I am suffering mentally, of course, emotionally," Marin told ABC News correspondent John Quiñones in her first interview since the May 24 shooting. "I still don't sleep."
You can watch the full interview with Emilia "Amy" Marin on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Monday.
Marin, an afterschool program coordinator, had only worked at Robb Elementary for a month when the shooting occurred. But the trauma of that day has endured; she now has a stutter and suffers from a tremor. Her friends and family say she is a changed woman.

Quickly, Marin said she kicked out a rock that she had used to prop open the school's door. It slammed shut behind her.

Investigators search for evidences outside Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on May 25, 2022, one day after an 18-year-old gunman killed 19 students and two teachers.
On the phone with 911, she said, "I cannot see him… the kids are running!"
Three days after the rampage, Col. Steven McCraw, the director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, told a news conference that a "teacher" propped open the door and that's how the killer got in. Nineteen students and two of their teachers died in the massacre.

Marin said she felt vilified and hired a lawyer to fight back.
Within days, DPS admitted that McCraw's comments were wrong. On Sunday, a DPS spokesman told ABC News, "DPS corrected this error in public announcements and testimony and apologizes to the teacher and her family for the additional grief this has caused to an already horrific situation."
Marin told Quiñones she believed she was being made a "scapegoat."
