Nineteen children and two teachers were killed in a shooting on Tuesday at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. The children who died were aged between seven and 10. Some of them had just received awards for great school work. One victim was a 10-year-old boy who loved to dance. Another was a girl who died while trying to call the police. It is the deadliest shooting at a US elementary school since 20 children and six adults died at Sandy Hook school a decade ago. There were two pairs of cousins among the children killed in the attack. Some parents were at the school hours before the shooting, watching with pride as their children held up their honour roll certificates at an awards ceremony. Hours later, they were back there. One of them was Alexandria Aniyah Rubio, in the fourth grade, who had earned an A certificate. “We told her we loved her and would pick her up after school,” her mother Kimberly wrote on Facebook. “We had no idea this was goodbye.” Her cousin, meanwhile, described her as a “bright light in everyone’s life”.(BBC)…[+]
