Help! I love you\u2019, from my wife.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Albarado said that his response had been immediate: he had borrowed a shotgun from his barber and headed directly to the school to see what he could do to help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat did you see and hear when you arrived?\u201d Guthrie asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust chaos,\u201d Albarado replied. \u201cChaos. Everyone was trying to get to the school, people were trying to get everything situated. I was just trying to get toward my wife\u2019s room and my daughter\u2019s room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Albarado noted that a number of police officers were already there, and that they immediately recognized him when he arrived. \u201cIt\u2019s a small community. My wife works at Robb. Everyone at Robb knows me,\u201d he said. \u201cPretty much all local law enforcement knows me, or I know the majority of them, so I was able to just go in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said that he spent the first few minutes helping kids who were coming out of the windows of other classrooms and trying to get ahold of his wife \u2014 who he eventually learned had already made her way to safety. After that, his focus was solely on finding his daughter \u2014 a second grader at Robb \u2014 and getting her to safety as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t know where the shooter was at.
