'The sweetest little boy that I've ever known,' families mourn loss of 19 children in Texas elementary school mass shooting

By nightfall, names of those killed during Tuesday's attack at Robb Elementary School in the town of Uvalde began to emerge. One man at the civic center walked away sobbing into his phone “she is gone.” On the backside of the building, a woman stood by herself, alternately crying and yelling into her phone, shaking her fist and stamping her feet.

“The sweetest little boy that I've ever known,” Renfro said. “I'm not just saying that because he was my grandkid.”“We started throwing the football together and I was teaching him pass patterns. Such a fast little boy and he could catch a ball so good,” Renfro said. “There were certain plays that I would call that he would remember and he would do it exactly like we practiced.”“She was adventurous. I would definitely say those wonderful things about her.

Lisa Garza, 54, of Arlington, Texas, mourned the death of her cousin, Xavier Javier Lopez, who had been eagerly awaiting a summer of swimming. Adolfo Cruz, a 69-year-old air conditioning repairman, remained outside the school Tuesday night, waiting for word about his 10-year-old great-granddaughter, Eliajha Cruz Torres, whose whereabouts remained unknown to family.

Why can’t POTUS lead & ban AR15/47/similar weapons following an amnesty - raise the legal age of gun ownership to 21. Review it after 24 months. Something’s gotta be better than dithering. Today’s guns I’m sure were not the ones under the initial US constitution/2nd amendment…

Politicians - power over lives

Heartbreaking man. But then when sandy hook happened I remember telling my friend if this doesn't change america nothing will. 10 years later nothing has

This is really sad

😢💔

🙏🏽😭

My heart aches for the families. How do you deal with such a tragedy? I cant even let myself begin to imagine what these people are experiencing. It’s just so tragic and messed up.

This is because the American conservatives only work for corporate donors like NRA, rather than serve their voters. This is not the last of it unfortunately, nothing will be done to stop its recurrence cos absolute power corrupts and that is what we see play out in the USA

Heart-breaking, immeasurable losses and lifetime traumas. Just say/vote NO to guns.

RIP all those sweet, innocent babies 💔🙏🏾🕊

Heartbreaking 💔💔💔💔💔💔

💔

It's not supposed to be like this 😥💔

The authorities knew the shooter. Government can't protect you, yet they and their mouthpieces want you disarmed.

Keep posting their pics They need to be remembered and have laws change for future kids

Heartbreaking 💔

i am in tears as I read this article. I can hear the screams from those parents. A school is a place kids should feel safe but lately that’s not been the case.

May they all RIP 💔

Anybody else gone numb to this now

Gunman kills at least 19 children at Texas elementary schoolAn 18-year-old gunman opened fire Tuesday at a Texas elementary school, killing at least 19 children as he went from classroom to classroom, officials said, in the deadliest school shooting in nearly a decade and the latest gruesome moment for a country scarred by a string of massacres. The attacker was killed by law enforcement. Incredibly sad 🙏🏻 Heart trenching, thoughts and prayers to all the families who are directly affected. The number keeps climbing. Those poor families tonight. When will enough be enough in the US? I should think parents have very reasonable expectation that their kid won’t get wounded or shot at school, don’t you think?
