Uvalde community still reeling from Robb Elementary shooting respond to Memorial Park shooting
Uvalde Police are reporting a shooting at the Uvalde Memorial Park with injured victims, according to its Facebook page.
The shooting comes just over three months after a gunman entered Robb Elementary and killed 19 fourth graders and their two teachers.
The massacre, the worst school shooting in Texas history, shocked and devastated the tight-knit community of just over 15,000.
Some residents took to social media to air their frustrations.
Awful. The Uvalde community has endured far too much already. https://t.co/H3HBdsF36W

Uvalde ISD children went back to school TWO days ago, and already there has been another shooting in the small town, this time, at a park. I hate this timeline. https://t.co/NaBwwMuAmP

Just heartbreaking for Uvalde to go through a shooting all over again.
When will we embrace policies that won't eliminate shootings but can reduce them and save lives? https://t.co/gZ1QBs10eH— Nicholas Kristof (@NickKristof) September 8, 2022
Oh my God, multiple people shot in downtown Uvalde, Texas, less than four months after the Robb Elementary mass shooting there. https://t.co/P2AuXe8kdC

Oh no: Uvalde police confirm an active shooter scene in downtown’s Memorial Park with injured victims. The worst part about this is that the entire country warned Greg Abbott another shooting would occur if he took no action on gun legislation. He failed. And it happened again:
