One incredibly brave little girl is the only survivor of her first grade class because she played dead while her friends were killed around her by gunman Adam Lanza.
The unnamed girl's story was revealed after her mother attended grief counseling with a local pastor Jim Solomon.
The unnamed girl, 6, waited until she believed it was safe hiding among the corpses, then ran from the building covered with blood from head to toe.

Storyteller: Pastor Jim Solomon learned of the girl's brave story while counseling her mother for grief

She was the first student to run out of the Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The other 15 members of her class were numbered among the lost Friday.
When she finally reached her mother, she told her: 'Mommy, I'm okay, but all my friends are dead.' 


All told, Lanza murdered 20 children as he shot his way through the school after murdering his mother earlier that morning.
Gun lover: Nancy Lanza had reportedly become 'obsessed' with guns and taught Adam how to shoot
Solomon passed the girl's story along to ABC News. 


'What did she see in there?' Solomon asked. 'Well, she saw someone who she felt was angry and somebody who she felt was mad.
'How at 6 1/2 years old can you be that smart, that brave? I think it's impossible outside of divine intervention. She has wisdom beyond her years.'
Solomon said the girl's family is doing 'as well as you can expect them to do' and while they are relieved to have their daughter home they feel some survivor's guilt because many of their friends lost children.
