Funerals took place on Tuesday for two 10-year-old girls who were among the 19 students and two teachers killed a week ago

People stand as the casket of Amerie Jo Garza, one of the victims of the Robb Elementary school mass shooting that resulted in the deaths of 19 children and two teachers, is carried at the Hillcrest Memorial Cemetery in Uvalde, Texas, US, on May 31 2022.

She was buried a short time later during a private graveside ceremony at a nearby cemetery. Services for Maite were held the same evening at a Uvalde funeral home. Funerals for the remaining victims are planned over the next two weeks in Uvalde, a town of 16,000 predominantly Latino and Roman Catholic residents.

Arredondo has come under heavy criticism for his role as on-scene commander of local law enforcement's handling of the shooting as it unfolded. According to Texas department of public safety officials, it was Arredondo who decided against immediately storming the classroom where the shooter opened fire.

Arredondo, nevertheless, was sworn in to the council, according to a statement from Uvalde's mayor that oaths of office were administered without ceremony during the day. US President Joe Biden, who travelled to Uvalde on Sunday, has joined many fellow Democrats in calling for new gun restrictions, such as a ban on assault-style weapons and universal background checks for all firearms purchases.
