Uvalde is a largely Latino community. At a press conference earlier today about the shooting, authorities said nothing in Spanish and did not address any Spanish-speaking journalists.
Vanessa Guillen’s sister, Lupe Guillen says today is not the day to seek justice or speak of anything political, or a bill. She says today is a day to remember her beautiful life.

Update: Texas DPS Director Steve McCraw says officers made “the wrong decision.” He said they didn’t know it was an active shooter situation because an on-scene commander believed they had a barricaded subject and no threat to the children.

HOUSTON! I’m coming home! I’m happy to announce that I’ll be joining the
@KHOU
team starting next month! I’m beyond excited to report in my hometown, after five years of working in Abilene, Waco, and Austin. This was quite unexpected, but it couldn’t have come at a better time!
Even longer line at the
@SouthwestAir
gate. These are all people with canceled flights at Houston Hobby Airport. If you thought the baggage claim line was long, this is double.

More details here:
Every single press conference in Texas should have someone bilingual to relay information but ESPECIALLY when parents are desperate for answers after losing their child. No one in Uvalde should be left out of the loop right now.
In sickness and in health. I will love and honor you all the days of my life. Happy one year anniversary! ❤️ We thought we’d be on a beach somewhere celebrating. Instead my husband has been by my side taking care of me as I recover from surgery. I couldn’t be more thankful.
Tonight parents and community members are rallying ahead of a Killeen ISD school board meeting to demand a mask mandate. We’re live at 5pm with the latest.

Time flies! This photo was taken 7 years ago. I was in college and it was the first time I visited a TV news station with the hope of becoming a reporter. I'm going on five years now of being a reporter and I don't see myself going anywhere else any time soon.
