Community members mourn at a vigil Wednesday for the 19 children and two teachers killed in the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.

The stands — which hold about 1,400 visitors — were filled as more community members, journalists and law enforcement officers flowed into the dirt arena. The line through the doors never seemingly stopped. “Yesterday, I could tell you, I just couldn't believe it,” Pedraza recounted. “I was at home lying in bed knowing that one of the kids we know is missing still. And hoping beyond hope that maybe he's still out there and just to find out earlier this morning that he was one of the casualties."

He read Psalm 46 from the Bible, which begins, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” Another pastor read the same verse and gave a message in Spanish.
