"We are sitting here listening to the words of the sky," said her sister Irma Garcia, who was killed in an attempt to protect her students from bullets. Durand said.

"These kids were annihilated. My sister was annihilated. It was a closed casket. I couldn't hug her. I can't touch her. I couldn't say my last farewell, "Duran said. She holds back tears.

Since May 24, authorities have repeatedly accounted for what happened in the classroom and what police did when the 18-year-old shooter slaughtered. It has changed.

"The fact that you are sitting there and doing s --- is really annoying," Durand told local officials, and the victims' families "each other" to help. "I had to clench." ..

For weeks, the victim's family and Uvalde residents were why police took so long to enter school and why authorities did not address concerns about shooter behavior. I asked for an explanation.

Indeed, questions about police response are family sadness, especially when they find out that shooters remain in the classroom from 11:33 am to 12:50 pm Exacerbated my pain. -According to officials, a policeman finally broke the door and killed him.

An important issue is some if police defeat the perpetrators as soon as possible following the procedures recommended since the 1999Columbine High School Massacre. Was whether the child was still alive.
One official, Uvalde School District Police ChiefPedro "Pete" Arredondo, who was able to answer questions about the response of law enforcement agencies, did not attend the meeting on Thursday. did.
Aledondo, sworn as a city council memberweeks after the slaughter, led a flawed law enforcement response to school shootings, but for the most part out of the public eye. Was there.
Uvalde Integrated Independent School Districtput him on vacation last month.Aledondo recently testified in a closed room in Austin before the Texas House Commission investigated the slaughter.

According to the City Charter, Aledondo may not be voted if he is absent from the next council meeting three times in a row.

"I don't think there is anyone here telling you that we will not take the action we should take," McLaughlin said.

CNN has contacted Arrendondo's lawyer for comment.

On Thursday, the Uvalde inhabitants chosen to represent them did not have an answer to their members.

"We need something to happen now," said Durand, who drove an hour and a half from San Antonio to Yuvalde for the meeting. "We need change. It's enough."

Yuvarde's children are afraid to return to the classroom, Durand and others said.

"These kids aren't going back to school and it's going to be in your hands," Durand said. "This blood is in your hands because you did nothing."

Angel Garza, whose daughter Amelie Joe Garza was shot dead on Thursday, mayor and other cities I asked my leader if he had children. He begged them to behave as if their children were shot at Rob Elementary.

"We want everyone to see this, not as the mayor, not as a member of the city council," he said. "See it as a dad, as a parent. Do not do what you can as a mayor. Beyond that. What if it was your child?"

McLaughlin investigates the shooting He has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with the inability to get an answer as to what happened from the state's public security authorities.

"My wife, let me tell you something. I feel your pain. We all do," the mayor told Durand at some point during the meeting. ..
