According to a cousin, Jim Wiltsie, a police officer, said the family had been told that Soto was attempting to get her class into a closet when the gunman entered the room.
“In our eyes, she’s a hero,” Wiltsie told ABC News.
“She was trying to shield, getting her children into a closet and protect them from harm. And by doing that put herself between the gunman and the children and that is when she was tragically shot and killed.”
Wiltsie said the family had taken some comfort in knowing that Soto died while doing a job that she loved.
“Her life dream was to be a teacher and her instincts kicked in when she saw there was harm coming towards her students,” he told ABC News, adding: “She lost her life doing what she loved. She loved her kids. Her goal in life was to be a teacher to mould young minds.”
