First funerals to begin for Texas massacre victims
TRT World says grieving families are to hold the first funerals for Texas massacre victims one week after a school shooting left 19 children and two teachers dead, with President Joe Biden vowing to push for stricter US gun regulation.
Mourners attended wakes in the town of Uvalde on Monday for some of the child victims gunned down by a local 18-year-old man who was then killed by police.
At one funeral home –– just across the street from Robb Elementary School where the shooting occurred –– friends, family and strangers attended a closed-casket visitation for 10-year-old victim Amerie Jo Garza. Pictures of the young girl decorated the space.
Esther Rubio, who described the scene as “very somber,” came from nearby San Antonio with her husband.
