Uvalde Mass Shooting

Nathan James Cruz, 17, was arrested on charges of making a terroristic threat and making a terroristic threat against his family. His mother reported his statements to police.

As we dissect the latest mass shooting at a school in America — this one in Nashville — WFAE’s Tommy Tomlinson, in his "On My Mind" commentary, finds himself out of words.

Parents, teachers, school staff and students who were on scene the day of the shooting are demanding redress for "the indelible and forever-lasting trauma" caused by the failures of law enforcement.

Día de los Muertos, honors loved ones who have passed, the holiday resonated in Uvalde, Texas, with a deeper degree of tragedy this year after the community lost 19 children and two teachers last May.

The decision was made using a parent and student survey, as well as by the district's internal and external safety task forces.

The investigative committee found law enforcement's response to the massacre involved little coordination and no leadership. School faculty, meanwhile, failed to uphold existing safeguards.

Pete Arredondo stepped down from his position in the City Council just weeks after being sworn in following allegations that he erred in his response to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School.

Pete Arredondo and his department have been under new scrutiny since DPS Director Steven McCraw said the incident commander — later confirmed to be Arredondo — made a critical error.

Texas officials had said a teacher propped door open at Robb Elementary just before a gunman entered and carried out a mass shooting — but they now acknowledge that the woman closed the door.

Nine-year-old Aubriella Melchor said she narrowly escaped the slaughter because she'd been in the bathroom. At a gas station, Christian bikers joined the girl and her mother to pray.
