Family members of those killed and injured during a 2018 attack on a Texas high school are expressing concerns about possibly more delays in the case.
Pagourtzis has been charged with capital murder. Eight students and two teachers were killed at the school, located about 35 miles southeast of Houston. Another 13 people were injured.

Uvalde families plead for languishing Texas gun billsParents whose children were killed in the Robb Elementary School massacre made sobbing pleads for stricter gun laws before legislators early Wednesday on languishing proposals that appeared headed to stall in the face of a Republican majority. The emotional late-night hearing — which started Tuesday morning and stretched past midnight — underlined both the sustained anger by some Uvalde families nearly a year after the shooting and the continued GOP opposition in Texas to passing any new restrictions.
