Uvalde, Texas, US – Ten-year-old Auraleigha Santos focused on staying quiet on Tuesday morning as she hid near the auditorium at Robb Elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, while in a classroom on the other side of the building, an 18-year-old man carrying an AR-15-style rifle kept shooting, and shooting and shooting.
By the time the gunman had finished, 19 of Santos’s classmates and two teachers were dead, and 17 were injured, leaving a predominantly Latino community about 135km (84 miles) west of San Antonio in Texas deeply shaken, and a state and a nation asking, yet again, whether anything would ever change.
