Family members of Texas school shooting victims say state legislature’s 77-page report ‘doesn’t change anything’
The committee had prepared a 77-page report that detailed failure after failure from the authorities during the 24 May attack. All morning on Sunday, relatives trickled in to the small south Texas city to pick up their copy.
The committee’s chairman, state representative and Lubbock Republican Dustin Burrows, said the report was a small step forward, a shared set of facts. There will be more reports after the deadliest school shooting in the state’s history. While a steady stream of families came to pick up copies of the report, others from all over Texas visited the makeshift memorial outside Robb elementary school., the memorial outside has started to change.
Just past the city limits, a sign with the phrase “Uvalde Strong” is right next to a billboard for a local gun shop. Uziyah’s great-aunt, Grace Valencia, pulled out her phone and began to flip through photos of the young boy, saying they’d been due to go on holiday together to a popular waterpark that weekend.
“You kept us waiting, just like you kept those kids waiting, and you’re not going to answer our questions?” shouted Tina Quintanilla-Taylor, whose daughter survived the shooting.
