“So when something happens to a school, it really affects everybody here because a lot of folks that grow up here, you know, live and die here,” Kirkpatrick said. “So it’s that kind of connected community.” Uziyah Garcia, 8 or 9, was “the sweetest little boy that I’ve ever known,” his grandfather Manny Renfro told the Associated Press.
Amerie Jo Garza, 10, died trying to call the police on the gunman, her grandmother Berlinda Irene Arreola told the Daily Beast. She had also won an honor-roll award earlier in the day, and her father reportedly spent hours waiting for information before confirming her death on Facebook.
