This tragedy comes over 10 months after the mass shooting at Robb Elementary that claimed 19 children and two teachers.
Uvalde community members, including families of victims, reacted to news of yet another school shooting. Many demanding change and action.
Kimberly Garcia called on the public to “wake up,” remembering her past and present experiences as a mother of a Uvalde victim, Amerie Garza, and her son who is a current student.
Our kids aren’t safe. Schools aren’t safe. My daughter wasn’t safe, her life was taken from her. My son isn’t safe and it keeps me up all night. How am I supposed to be okay with leaving him at school ? There’s no way.
