UVALDE, Texas — The Uvalde school district superintendent met Thursday with the guardian of a student killed in the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School, after family members of victims and their supporters camped out for almost two days in front the district's administrative building.
Brett and Nikki Cross, guardians of 10-year-old Uziyah Garcia, arrived at the school district offices at 7 a.m. Tuesday and have not left since.
Superintendent Hal Harrell met with Brett Cross on Thursday morning in his office, after almost 48 straight hours of protest on the property. "My son is dead because of the inactions of your school district, of the city, of all the police involved," Cross responded."They all failed." "We had [officers] lying to us. 'Nobody's shooting, everyone's okay, trust us we have kids,'" Angel Garza, stepfather to victim 9-year-old Amerie Jo Garza, said in recent testimony to the Congressional Children's Caucus.
