Uvalde is just west of San Antonio and east of the U.S.-Mexican border.

90% of the students are Hispanic and 81% come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

On the 24th of May 20-22, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos opened fire at the campus, killing 19 children and two adults.

The entire country is in mourning, as people from right around the world try to comprehend this senseless act of terror.

President Joe Biden will visit the community with his wife, Jill to meet with grieving families as some of the victims’ identities become known.
