One of the first targets of the gunman who killed 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas, is now trying to comfort the community
Gilbert Limones, one of the first targets of a gunman who killed 21 people at an elementary school, speaks during an interview at the church he pastors in Uvalde, Texas, on Sunday, June 5, 2022. Limones, who came under fire outside the funeral home where he works near the school, wasn't hurt and has since helped prepare some of the young victims for burial.
Still, Limones tried to find the words to assuage his part of a heavily Hispanic town of 16,000 that's sad, confused and raw with emotion nearly two weeks after the slaughter. Satan brought confusion and hurt, he said, but the faithful have a defense. Authorities said Limones and Briseno walked toward the man but retreated when they realized he was putting a magazine into a rifle. A shooter identified as Ramos fired multiple times at them.
Inside, 19 fourth-graders were fatally wounded along with two teachers as police lining the hallways waited more than an hour to confront and kill Ramos. While nagging questions remain about the police response and exactly what happened in the school, the funerals of the victims began last week, with Hillcrest directing five of them.
The most fortunate of the victims at Robb Elementary are recovering. Fourth-grade teacher Arnulfo Reyes, who wasposted a public message on social media last week thanking friends for their prayers and love.
