It has been one month since 19 children and two teachers were killed when a gunman opened fire with a semiautomatic rifle in an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, just days before summer vacation.
By the time police entered the classroom and killed the shooter, Uvalde had become the home of the deadliest school shooting since Sandy Hook Elementary in 2012.
There is still a lot to talk about in Uvalde. At the school board meeting, parents are asking what the frightened students were thinking while they waited 77 minutes inside bloody classrooms. State senators are holding hearings and the state’s Department of Public Safety chief is blasting the local response as “an abject failure.”
It’s the end of June now. And the people are trying to recover, to heal, with each other.
