Brett Cross launched the protest Sept. 27, joined by other Uvalde families who say the school district hasn’t held five of its officers accountable for their part in law enforcement’s delayed action during the May 24 shooting.
Brett Cross, whose 10-year-old nephew was killed during the May 24 shooting at Robb Elementary School, leans on a gate next to the Uvalde CISD administration building on Tuesday.

One of the victims was Uziyah Garcia, Cross’ 10-year-old nephew. The school district police were among the hundreds of law enforcement officers who waited more than an hour to confront the gunman, going against active-shooter training that teaches officers to immediately eliminate the threat. A Texas House committee report criticized the local, state and federal law enforcement agencies involved for a chaotic scene that was devoid of clear leadership.
Cross’ wife, Nikki, frequently joins him during the day. She placed 19 school backpacks and two totes in front of the doors of the school district’s building on Tuesday, representing the 21 lives lost in the shooting.
