Eva Mireles was among the two teachers and 19 children killed on May 24 in Uvalde, Texas.
Authorities are revisiting safety protocols in Uvalde and a growing number of police officers are also facing an investigation as the new school year begins.
Hours later, Ruiz heard about a shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, where her mom was a fourth grade teacher."I wasn't really freaking out about my mom -- I was freaking out about my dad," Ruiz told ABC News' Maria Elena Salinas on Monday in her first interview since the massacre. "One of my worst fears was an active shooter, since my dad is ... an officer. That's what scared me the most.
Mireles was a dedicated fourth grade teacher who "always wanted to make sure that her students were happy and taken care of," Ruiz said, remembering how her mom's young students would run over for a hug when they'd see her around town."I know she didn't even hesitate to step in front of her students," Ruiz said."She was dedicated to her job ... she was strong.
"We should be the last family to have to go through this," she said. "This should be an eye-opener to a lot of people. Who's next, you know? Whose family is gonna be next if this doesn't stop?"
