This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

As a parent, my heart is broken seeing these faces and their ages.

My condolences to their families during this difficult time 🙏🏻

My daughter’s beautiful teacher was the teacher who was killed in Uvalde, TX. Eva (Ms Mireles) taught Gabby in elementary school. She was a beautiful person & dedicated teacher. She believed in Gabby & went above & beyond to teach her as you can see below. There are no words.

We need to put our preferences aside and collectively acknowledge that whatever we are doing regarding gun violence isn’t working. This is devastating 💔.

This didn’t age well…

Again?! Get it together Austin Water! This is ridiculous in a city this size. 🙄
