SEE IT: Uvalde survivor hands out flowers to hospital staffers in sweet video

A 10-year-old survivor of the Uvalde school shooting handed out roses to medical staffers as she was discharged from a San Antonio hospital last Friday.

Mayah Zamora was the final patient wounded in the May 24 shooting to be released from University Health, the hospital said in a weekend tweet.

Video shared by the hospital shows Zamora giving flowers to employees as they chant “Mayah! Mayah!”

“She is our hero and we can’t wait to see all she accomplishes in the future!” University Health tweeted, along with the hashtag #MayahStrong.

Mayah suffered injuries to three limbs, her brother said in a June update on Facebook. A GoFundMe page set up by her family said Mayah was “critically injured” in the shooting and that she had a “long road to recovery.”

She smiled as she got into her car to go home as the hospital employees waved goodbye, the video shows.

The shooting at Robb Elementary School killed 19 students and two teachers.

The police response to the shooting was slammed as an “abject failure” by Texas public safety director Col. Steve McCraw, who testified in June that he had “great reasons to believe [the door] was never secured” to the classroom the gunman was in, but that cops waited outside for a key.

Friends of Mayah set up a lemonade stand in June to raise money to support her family during her recovery, San Antonio news station KENS reported in June.

A softball teammate named Victoria told the TV outlet that Mayah is known for always smiling.

“When she would go bat, when she would be catching, practices, every time I would look at her and see that she would be smiling,” Victoria said.

Uvalde is about 85 miles west of San Antonio.
