Families from Uvalde on Tuesday pleaded with new urgency for tougher gun laws in the wake of a series of mass shootings in California, including the nation's deadliest act of gun violence since last year's attack at a Texas elementary school.
No Republican lawmakers joined Democrats who stood with victims’ families and gun control advocates in a news conference outside the Senate floor. Some Republican senators walked past on their way out of the chamber.
Slain Uvalde teacher Irma Garcia was shot 11 times from her head to her legs with an AR-15-style rife, her sister, Marisol Lozano, said. She recalled seeing her sister’s face and hands reconstructed for the funeral to hide the bullet wounds.
