“We are devastated about reports that multiple people are dead, including children,” the organization posted on Facebook Tuesday afternoon. “Our hearts are with the families and community as this tragic story unfolds.”
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said at least 14 students and a teacher at Robb Elementary School were killed by an 18-year-old gunman. The City of Uvalde is located about 85 miles west of San Antonio.
