Uvalde

Uvalde, Texas, is a city that gained national attention following the tragic school shooting at Robb Elementary School in May 2022. Currently, Uvalde is newsworthy due to ongoing legal proceedings related to the aftermath of the shooting. Specifically, a jury is deliberating the case of Adrian Gonzales, a former Uvalde school district police officer, who is charged in connection with the response to the 2022 attack.
