Anniversary of Robb Elementary Massacre Highlights Ongoing Pleas for Reform from Victims’ Families
One year has passed since parents in Uvalde, Texas, dropped their children off at Robb Elementary School, unaware it would be their last goodbye. On 24 May 2022, a horrific mass shooting took the lives of 19 children, aged nine to eleven, and two heroic teachers, leaving a scar on the community and the nation. Armed with a legally purchased AR-15, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos entered the school and carried out one of the deadliest school shootings in American history.
The attack has fueled calls for action from families who continue to push for meaningful reform. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has faced pressure to respond to their demands, yet families express frustration with the pace of change. The anniversary of the Robb Elementary tragedy serves as a solemn reminder of the need for preventive measures to protect children and teachers from such senseless violence.
