Uvalde shooting victims join list of Americans killed in mass shootings – Washington Post

These people did not have to die

Four days. That is the span of time — a mere four days — between when we published a list of some of the victims of U.S. mass shootings, newly updated with the names of those killed May 14 at a supermarket in Buffalo, and another slaughter by gunfire, this one at a Texas elementary school. Just four days. And now 21 new names must be added to the toll of innocents killed.

Nineteen of the victims were little kids, beautiful youngsters with their whole lives stretching ahead of them. Two were beloved teachers, women who had devoted their lives to educating, nurturing and protecting children.

Killed May 24 on the third-to-last day of classes at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Tex., were: Nevaeh Bravo, 10; Jacklyn Cazares, 9; Makenna Lee Elrod, 10; Jose Flores, 10; Ellie Garcia, 9; Irma Garcia, 48; Uziyah Garcia, 8; Amerie Jo Garza, 10; Xavier Lopez, 10; Jayce Luevanos, 10; Tess Mata, 10; Miranda Mathis, 11; Eva Mireles, 44; Alithia Ramirez, 10; Annabell Rodriguez, 10; Maite Rodriguez, 10; Alexandria “Lexi” Rubio, 10; Layla Salazar, 10; Jailah Nicole Silguero, 10; Eliahana Cruz Torres, 10; Rojelio Torres, 10.

How many more days until the next shooting? How many more mothers and fathers will have to wait in torment to learn whether their child will come home? How many more kids will be forced to flee from bullets and watch as their friends are gunned down?

Congress needs to pass sensible gun laws. Now.
