Failed Police Response and Need for Gun Reform Mark Somber Anniversary of Robb Elementary School Massacre

  • Victims' families demand accountability and action one year after a mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas left 19 children and 2 teachers dead.
  • The botched police response to the shooting has become a national scandal, with video evidence showing officers waited over an hour to confront the gunman while children inside the classroom called 911 for help.
  • President Joe Biden and gun control advocates renewed calls for an assault weapons ban and other measures, saying too little has changed since the tragedy.
  • The Uvalde community remains divided in the aftermath, with some residents supporting tougher gun laws and others opposing efforts to restrict access to firearms.
  • Investigations into the police response are ongoing but have so far yielded no criminal charges, further frustrating victims' loved ones seeking accountability and closure.
