During Tuesday’s shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, a gunman killed at least 21 people, including 19 children.
A 10-year-old girl who had recently been named to the honor roll and a fourth-grade teacher who had been for the school district for almost 17 years were among them.
The identities and stories of the victims began to emerge Wednesday as the stunned and mourning community processed the brutal incident, which will forever alter life in the small town 80 miles west of San Antonio.
After the shooting, Nevaeh Bravo’s cousin took to social media to appeal for the public’s assistance in finding the youngster. “Unfortunately, my precious Nevaeh was one of the numerous casualties from todays tragedy,” she said on Twitter at 9 p.m.
“I appreciate your support and assistance,” she wrote. “Rest in peace, sweetheart; you didn’t deserve it.”
The age of Nevaeh could not be determined right away.
According to Travis Considine, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, the incident started about 11.30 a.m. local time on Tuesday, when the gunman smashed his car outside the school and raced into it.
It is Texas’ bloodiest school shooting, four years after a gunman killed ten people at Santa Fe High School in the Houston region.
It’s the deadliest school shooting in the United States since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, nearly a decade ago.
The school’s classes were coming to a close for the year, and each day had a different theme.
