UVALDE, TEXAS - The grieving Texas town of Uvalde begins laying to rest the 21 children and teachers who were killed in a mass shooting at an elementary school a week ago, with funerals scheduled on

Tuesday for a pair of 10-year-old girls.

"Our focus on Tuesday is on our families who lost loved ones. We begin burying our children tomorrow, the innocent victims of last week's murders at Robb Elementary School," Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin said in a statement announcing the cancellation of a scheduled city council meeting on Tuesday. Over the next two weeks, a series of funerals will take place in the town of 16,000, which is nearly 80 per cent Latino or Hispanic and largely Roman Catholic.

At the city council meeting that was cancelled, Pete Arredondo, chief of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District police department, had been scheduled to be sworn in as a new member.
