‘Humble and charismatic’: Uvalde shooting victims mourned at first funerals
The Guardian says services for Amerie Jo Garza and Maite Rodriguez held on Tuesday, with 19 more planned for coming weeks
Funerals for the victims of the Uvalde elementary school shooting began in the small Texas town on Tuesday.
In the afternoon, hundreds of mourners turned out for the funeral mass for Amerie Jo Garza, a smiling fourth-grader who was killed a week ago after an 18-year-old gunman who was eventually killed by law enforcement murdered 19 children and two teachers at Robb elementary school.
Nineteen more funerals are planned for the next two and a half weeks. On Monday and Tuesday, visitations were held for two victims. Amerie Jo Garza and Maite Rodriguez, whose funeral was on Tuesday evening, were both 10 years old. Visitations for one of the teachers, 48-year-old Irma Garcia, and for two more children, Nevaeh Bravo and Jose Flores Jr, were also held on Tuesday.
