The Uvalde community will gather together on Wednesday, May 24 to remember the 21 lives that were taken one year ago.
During the Uvalde City Council meeting on Monday, May 22, Pastor Tony Gruben opened with a prayer for the victims' families as this week marks a year since a gunman entered"Sometimes it may be difficult to say I don't know if we are even beginning to grieve and beginning to heal," says Pastor Tony Gruben.
"This week is a tough week we can't imagine what these families are going through one year, and we still can't give you the answers you need," says city of Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin. Last week, city officials released an open letter requesting privacy for the victims' families as they mourn. The news of the mass shooting touched hearts of people from all over the country.
"This is not about us, this is about these families, these survivors, and it's their time, it is our time to reflect on the memories of the children that loss their lives that day and the two teachers," says Mayor McLaughlin.
