Uvalde Shooting Victim's Mom Reflects on Year Since Her Death



Tess Mata was only 10 years old when she became a casualty of gun violence. On May 24, 2022, Tess and 20 others were killed at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Her mother, Veronica Mata, passes a mural of her daughter as she drives to a school where she teaches kindergarten. In her classroom, Mata says she wonders how she could keep the children around her safe if ever she was placed in the same situation her daughter faced.

  1. The most frustrating part of the whole tragedy in Uvalde is that only Arredondo was fired none of the other 400+ law-enforcement personnel who coward in the hallway for 70 minutes while those children and their teachers were murdered have been held accountable civilly or criminally and to my knowledge most still have their jobs

  3. Not only did mom lose her daughter but she’s a teacher herself and has that fear that this can happen to her and her kids in her class. Why is this still happening? Why do parents and teachers have to worry about their safety at school? Most of these mass shooters got these damn assault weapons legally with histories rife with red flags.

  4. The sad Story of 2nd amendment lovers, bullet proof vested, heavily armed COWARD police corps! with the complicity of other authorities! We need to change this and the only option is to impose controls and prohibitions.
