Official: Uvalde Gunman Wasn’t Confronted By A School Resource Officer

Officials say the 18-year-old gunman wasn’t confronted by a school resource officer outside Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, contradicting earlier information. It’s believed the shooter entered through an unlocked door, killing 19 children and two teachers. One of those teachers who died was Eva Mireles, who leaves behind a husband, daughter and an entire community who adored her. Juan Maldonado is a close family friend and considered Eva a sister. He tells Anderson Cooper how loved she was by her family, friends and students. Plus, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says he’s directed Texas Sen. John Cornyn to engage with Democrats on a “bipartisan solution” on gun violence. David Hogg survived the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida where 14 of his classmates and three staff members were killed and he’s the co-founder of March for Our Lives. He joins AC360 to explain why he thinks “this time is going to be different” when it comes to getting gun legislature passed.
