The shooting in Uvalde, Texas is the deadliest attack at a U.S. grade school since 2012. DaveCarlinTV has more on how parents who lost their own children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut are reacting to this latest tragedy.
Marquez-Greene's 6-year-old daughter, Ana Grace, was among the children massacred at Sandy Hook in 2012.She is a licensed marriage and family therapist who is reliving the heartbreak that never goes away.
"The agony that you face in the survival that you have to do in order to go through something like this, we are asking for superhuman strength from these parents," Marquez-Greene said. "I don't think these parents at the moment have any idea what just happened and what's to happen in the days or weeks to come," said Nicole Hockley, CEO of Sandy Hook Promise.Sen. Chris Murphy, lawmaker from Sandy Hook district, pleads for action after Texas elementary school mass shooting:"What are we doing?""No one expects to take their child to school in the morning and never see them again," Hockley said.
Hockley said it's urgent and decades overdue that Congress introduce certain gun measures and pass them this time. "It's about being responsible with who can access them at what point," Hockley said."Obviously, background checks is something that has been debated and there's not even on the floor right now, as I understand it, in the Senate to even have that debate. So, that's an action that can be taken. There's also measures like safe storage."
