As Uvalde schools finally reopen, some children who were at Robb Elementary during the fatal shooting are excited to return to a new school but other kids face the new year with trepidation
Students arrive at Uvalde Elementary school for the first time since May 24 mass shooting left 19 students and two teachers dead.
Mata was ready to return, this time with his own cellphone. His mother, Corina Comacho, had a tougher time letting her child go back to class. A large memorial of stuffed animals, victims' photographs and crosses remains outside the scene of one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history. “There's a big ol' gap right here. Anyone can walk through," said Celeste Ibarra, 30, pointing to the new barrier around Uvalde Elementary while standing in her front yard across the street.
Uvalde is off to a late start for school: Classes resumed weeks ago in many parts of Texas, where other districts encouraged students and teachers Tuesday to show support by wearing Uvalde's maroon colors. “We are all standing with you," first lady Jill Biden tweeted.
