Heartbroken by today’s elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. No child or educator should ever fear going to school, and no parent should ever fear sending their child to school. We must end our nation's gun violence epidemic.

The shooter at Uvalde, Texas, killed his grandmother before killing 14 students and a teacher at the elementary school. It was just 2 days before summer holidays for the kids. Imagine everything they had planned with their families. All ruined. Their life only just started. Sad.
