NEWTOWN, Conn. — According to a Facebook post being circulated by teachers, Victoria Soto, 27, was a hero on Friday.

When she became aware there was a gunman in Sany Hook Elementary School, she hid her first-graders in closets and cabinets, then told the shooter they were in the gym.

He turned the gun on Soto, killing her, but none of her students were harmed.

The post being circulated by teachers on Facebook originated with this post, accompanied by a picture:

“This is Victoria Soto, and although I didn’t know her, she is my hero. I don’t know too much about her, but I know a lot of people who do know her and she’s ama…zing. Victoria was a Stratford high graduate and only 27. She was killed today after she hid her first graders in closets and cabinets and told the shooter they were in the gym. He killed her and not one of her children were harmed. I have never been more proud to be from Stratford or to be a teacher. God bless Victoria, her family and friends, and all of those who were involved today in anyway. Victoria is a true hero.”
