Our hearts break at the news of another mass shooting, this time involving children. Our thoughts are with those impacted by the event which is a tragic reminder of why we need lawmakers to implement gun violence prevention policies we know will reduce this senseless loss of life

This is one of the 22 victims in today’s school shooting. Xavier Lopez was just 10 years old and in 4th grade. According to his cousin, Xavier’s mom was at his awards ceremony 1-2 hours prior to the shooting, not knowing it would be the last time she’d see him.

@tedcruz Fervently huh? I’m sure that the dead kids and teachers give a crap. Why not try doing something about it instead of obstructing having something done about it.

who knows that their child has not survived because the parent hasn't been reunited with their child. Only this parent can tell -- by look, by the way a parent knows -- which body is his or her child's. And that is what is happening. "Shooting" sounds too benign. 3/3

out who is this child compared to who is that child by figuring out which parents are left without reuniting with their child. And then that child -- maybe unrecognizable, without identification -- has to be identified by a parent. 2/

My dad called me saying one of the victims in the hospital is my cousin. She’s in critical condition, he says. He was born and raised in Uvalde. He said everyone knows everyone there, adding how his over 15 aunts and uncles are all feeling so devastated right now.

A Chaplin just walked out tonight and told us that he has given 12 families the bad news they were not expecting today. There are still several other families still waiting here to hear about their child.

Many families are still waiting for news, hoping to be told that their child is in the hospital, either in Uvalde or San Antonio. The alternative is their worst nightmare.

I’m reporting in #Uvalde TX at the civic center which is being used as a reunification site for families impacted by the mass shooting at Robb Elementary. I spoke to one man who says he’s been waiting for news about his niece for hours. Heart is so heavy. @statesman
