Border Patrol Agent Helps Rescue Daughter, Dozens More From Texas School

A quick-thinking, off-duty, Border Patrol officer, armed with his barber's shotgun, helped rescue dozens of children and his daughter during the nightmarish shooting at the Uvalde, Texas, elementary school.

The New York Times reported that Jacob Albarado was getting his hair cut when his wife Trisha, who teaches fourth grade at Robb Elementary, sent him an urgent text message.

"There's an active shooter," she wrote. "Help." And she added: "I love you."

As he got ready to run out, his barber loaned him a shotgun. Albarado then sped off to the school.

Once there, he was told a tactical unit was forming to enter the section of the school where the shooter was. Albarado came up with a plan with other officers to evacuate as many children as they could.

The Times said he led other law enforcement officers toward the wing where his daughter's classroom was.

"I'm looking for my daughter, but I also know what wing she's in," he said, "so I start clearing all the classes in her wing."
