Uvalde students head back to school
Exactly 15 Tuesdays after the mass shooting that claimed 21 lives at Robb Elementary School, Uvalde public schools reopened last week amid a strong law enforcement presence. Students returned to campuses ringed by new 8-foot-high fences, designed to be impossible to climb. The school district also supplemented its five police officers with 33 Texas Department of Public Safety troopers and hired safety monitors to check door and window locks. In other news, two were injured in a “gang-related” shooting at Uvalde Memorial Park on Thursday.
