For a year, ABC News kept a team in Uvalde.
The result is a nuanced portrait of what happens over time to a suffering community, as seen in the two-hour documentary, "It Happened Here - A Year in Uvalde," that airs Friday on ABC and Saturday on Hulu.
ABC's idea was born out of a desire to bring something new to stories that have taken on a numbing familiarity. The project enabled the journalists to get to know community members and build trust by talking to them without cameras running all the time, she said. The ABC team filed more than 200 stories during its time in Uvalde, Galli said. Their presence enabled them to break news, such as when Quinones got the first interview with a woman falsely accused of leaving a door open at the school that the killer used for access.
Lexi's dad, Felix Rubio, eventually resigned his job as a deputy police officer, explaining that he couldn't go back to work with people who didn't rush into the school to try and save the children.
