On Tuesday morning at least 19 children and two teachers were killed when a high school student opened fire inside an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, in what has become the state’s deadliest school shooting in history.

The shooting is the latest in a long line of gun violence in the United States. Before Tuesday, there had been at least 39 shootings in K-12 schools, colleges, and universities in 2022, resulting in at least ten deaths and 51 injuries.

NBC 5 has confirmed the identities of two of the 21 victims so far: Eva Mireles and10-year-old Uziyah Garcia, a fourth-grade teacher in her early 40s. Eva Mireles’ aunt, Lydia M. Delgado, confirmed Eva’s death in Tuesday’s Robb Elementary School attack.

According to Delgado, Eva had been a teacher for 17 years, and she took pride in teaching mostly students of Latino heritage. Eva was a hiker who was “very loved” and the “life of the party.”
