Two days away from the one-year mark of the Robb Elementary tragedy, leaders in Uvalde on Monday said the community is preparing for a difficult week.
”I may be a little bit old-fashioned because I still believe in due process. We have to do this right and that’s the right way to do it, and it’s taken way too long and the mayors expressed that frustration and we all have, too. But we’ve got to see this through,” Uvalde City Manager Vince DiPiazza said.Several families of the Robb victims have been allowed in and will continue to be let inside of the school to see classrooms 111 and 112 where the shooting took place.
Patterson was pressed on what is taking so long in that demolition, he said litigation “from the district attorney.” However, in a contradicting statement, Lives Robbed, a nonprofit started by several of the families, invited the world to remember their loved ones.“The families do have something going on prior to the vigil, which will be here and a mural walk. And that is what they were trying to keep private for our sake,” Arreola said.
“We haven’t had it as tough as these families but it’s been a tough year, and it’s been a trying year for everyone here involved. So my hope is that maybe God will come in and open hearts and let some healing begin in the community,” McLaughlin said.
