UVALDE, Texas — The shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, that left at least 19 children and two teachers dead is now the second-worst school shooting in United States history.
In its wake, survivors of past school shootings are speaking out to share their grief and anger that a school is once again the site of a deadly shooting.
Hogg's brother, David Hogg, who, like many Parkland survivors, has become a vocal advocate for gun reform, tweeted that change after this most recent school shooting needs to be different."America will continue to be a hub and epicenter of gun violence until the people in power decide to take action," another Parkland survivor, Alex Wind, wrote on Twitter."There is no more time for thoughts and prayers.
Fourth-grader Xavier Lopez was another victim of Tuesday's shooting, his family confirmed to ABC News. According to his cousin, Xavier's mom was at his awards ceremony one to two hours prior to the shooting, not knowing it would be the last time she would see him.
